The Points of View project was selected in October 2002 from among many submitted across the country to receive a $65,000 grant from Cable in the Classroom.

Project partners Time Warner Cable, C-SPAN and Project VIEW of the Schenectady City School District contributed resources in the form of broadband capabilities, content and video-conferencing expertise. Master teachers representing Schenectady, Amsterdam, Ballston Spa and Scotia/Glenville took part in research trips to the White House Historical Association, the Library of Congress archives, and Sagamore Hill -- the Long Island home and summer White House of President Roosevelt. They developed the project's curriculum materials and explored how the life and presidency of Theodore Roosevelt transcends across multiple teaching disciplines including current affairs. The project was independently evaluated by the SUNY Evaluation Consortium to show how new technologies can have a positive impact on teaching methodologies and student learning outcomes.

The project culminated Oct. 27-29, 2003, with a three-day program of events when educators and project partners for the Points of View Education Demonstration Project unveiled an original and nationally replicable standards-based social studies curriculum centered on the life and presidency of Theodore Roosevelt.
