Applications for Education
Television is as much a part of students’ lives as just about any other technology. In teaching US History, I’ve always found pop culture to be a good segue to introducing important events of the 20th Century. For example, we could take this timeline and have students identify other significant events corresponding with a development in broadcast history.

Bonus material: JFK’s Inauguration.
