“The following is from a cooperative project for acquiring skills essential to learning,” notes the announcer at the beginning of Thinkabout.

Thinkabout was an instructional program for children, produced by the Agency for Instructional Television (AIT), during the 1970s. It was seen on PBS stations across the United States as late as the mid-to-late 1980s.

The sixty programs produced were aimed for fifth and sixth grade students to understand their learning process in topics as varied as language arts, mathematics, study skills, as well as thinking skills.

AIT produced another, similarly themed program called Inside/Out.
