We worked for Teaching Channel when it was free, idealistic, and fully funded by the Gates Foundation. Then, the videos were accessible to all. By 2017, it was purchased, became a for-profit thing; and has pay walls for much of the content. So goes the world.
Nonetheless, here is a collection of some of what we made, still free, as per our agreement as one of the very first production companies creating content. We are so grateful to still be able to share.
The link below takes you to a set of some of the first 114 videos made by Luna Productions.
Many of these were compiled into a 20 hour series and broadcast on PBS.
This is work from 2009-2012.
