Some authors call her the activist, the advocate or “mother” of educational television (O’Dell, 1997, p. 143) while others call her the “Joan of Arc for Educational Television” (Beadle & Stephenson, 1997, p. 46). When looking at her career, one can say that she truly paved the way for women in the broadcasting industry as well as developed educational television which is now known as Public Broadcasting today. I am looking forward to sharing more information on this broadcast icon on October 14, 2018.
In the meantime, I will be sharing Part 1 of my assignment which is the annotated bibliography. I found it a little challenging, but I like a challenge! Please click on the link below to view my spreadsheet.
Cheers!
