Jonathan Bird’s Blue World is an underwater adventure program that has been broadcast on more than 260 public television stations since May 2008. It is also available online at http://www.blueworldTV.com and via free podcasts through iTunes. The shows have been used in the classroom to illustrate science topics; accompanying study guides for each segment were created with the intent that teachers could incorporate the show into science education. The shows are produced by Oceanic Research Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of the world’s oceans and marine life through education. ORG’s educational films have been used in the classroom since 1995.
