[...] With this in mind, it was with great interest that I read Chris Betcher’s blog post ‘Teacher TV… who knew?’ [...]

It is such great news to me when I started reading this article but I got disappointed when I ran through the comments and learned that it’s available in Sydney only. I’ll will check it out when I get there next week. Hope then give it a wider telecast so that we can watch it over here in Perth as well.

I was reading this in google reader and thinking what great potential this has school staff in uk and Australian schools to work together and learn from each other.

But looks like this will not happen unless the site is opened up.

I see I’m not the first to read about teacher tv here and discover that I can’t get it because I’m not in Sydney. I guess the best thing that could happen is for all of us outside Sydney to start demanding access, and for those of you in Sydney to use the service and let them know so they’ll keep doing it!

So. it seems from the feedback I’ve received that Teachers TV is only available on the TV if you live in Sydney, and only available online in certain areas (Australia only?)
I think that’s a real shame, and don’t really understand why a broadcaster would want to limit their audience size. There may be valid reasons for the TV restrictions, but why the web?
Bizarre.

According to http://teacherstv.com.au/Article/155/ the service can only be seen on television in the Sydney metropolitan area at this stage, so I guess those of us not there will have to wait a while.

I’m with 3 mobile and I can’t get to the website… will have to wait until I get back to school to try it from there!

Even that’s not necessarily true – I’m trying to access it from Canberra and, according to Google, I’m not on an Australian network. Clearly Optus are sending me via routers all over the world, and I have no doubt I’m not the only Australian that is going to stumble on this problem.

Also, I can’t seem to find the channel on my TV – again, perhaps it’s because I’m in Canberra? Ahhh… the outdated Australian telecommunications infrastructure is such a wonderful thing…

And.. according to Google, it’s only accessible from with Aus networks. Bummer. At least to a Canuck.

That’s pretty cool. I don’t suppose there’s an internet feed of it?

It would be nice to see this kind of thing catch on everywhere, surely there are enough teachers/parents interested in this rather than the garbage that is usually on the tube.
