KOCE

Telecommunications of Orange County
TOC or Telecommunications of Orange County is a consortium of member schools who have joined together to purchase full rights for video based instructional television programming created specifically for classroom teaching.

TOC broadcasts 3½ hours of high quality instructional television programs from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday throughout the school year. This allows teachers to tape a variety of special series and programs off-air. TOC programs are broadcast on PBS station KOCE-TV for teachers who have access to cable television either at home or at school. Most cable companies in Southern California carry KOCE on their systems. TOC also schedules a variety of live and interactive programs that offer students and teachers the opportunity to participate in "real-time" events.

Free Staff Development

TOC member schools receive free in-service training to guide teachers in the development of effective integration of technology in the classroom. A variety of different seminars and staff development workshops are available. Workshops can also be designed to meet a particular school's objectives and can range in length according to the school's schedule and availability.

Monthly Bulletins and Newsletters

Each month, TOC members schools are sent an updated broadcast schedule, listings of other educational programs available for off-air recording, special event announcements and other information for technology using educators.

Membership Fees

The cost to schools to become a full member of TOC is $1.03 per student per year. The cost is less if an entire district joins. This fee covers all of the above mentioned benefits and truly is a cost effective way for schools to build a rich instructional media collection. Purchasing just video series from a distributor usually costs several hundred dollars. It costs less than $600 for an average size elementary school to join TOC. This includes access to hundreds of programs, support materials and teacher training. A TOC membership is a worthwhile investment in the education of all children.
