Recognizing that students across Arizona will be looking for things to do in the coming weeks, the city of Phoenix's digital classroom, PHXTV Classroom, has expanded its programming while kids are home during the Coronavirus national emergency. The PHXTV Classroom video program will stream live on Phoenix.gov/PHXTV from 9 - 11 a.m. daily, with a replay from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. PHXTV Classroom will feature a variety of stories, with different programming each day, on history, science and art, including:

• The 21st Century Turning Points in U.S. History - Learn about events that transformed America.
• Travel Through History - Students can experience visiting places around the world.
• Backyard Bugs and Other Arthropods - Discovery of nature and insects for younger kids.

This lineup of these television productions come from PHXTV, which has been providing award winning television programming about city services and resources for 35 years. Now, parents and teachers can check out PHXTV Classroom and use this digital content as another educational tool for students while they remain at home and out of the day-to-day learning environment.
