TV: Then and Now – digital excursion promo

    Travel back to 1956, when television first arrived in Australia. This is a promo for TV: Then and now, a digital excursion offered by the NFSA.

    In this 30-minute interactive digital excursion, students will explore how watching TV in the past compares to today. They will investigate how television technology and viewing habits have changed over time, take part in drawing and discussion activities, and imagine life as a child growing up in the early days of Australian TV.
