This fall my colleague Timothy Grigsby and I started a new public affairs and eclectic music public radio show called Intents & Purposes on KCSB/KJUC Santa Barbara. Our latest episode features studio guests from City at Peace Santa Barbara, a non-profit organization helping teenagers to create safe, peaceful and productive lives through performing arts. Their group is hosting a climate awareness gathering tomorrow along with others around the world called Project 350. Also we featured music tracks from Systems Officer, David Bazan among others and a special international block.
UC Santa Barbara’s Center for Learning and Inquiry in Networking Communities (LINC) and the California Virtual Campus were the recipients of the 2009 WCET Outstanding Work (WOW) Award, a competition that recognizes innovative uses of educational technologies in higher education for their project: Stepping Into Your Future. LINC Director Beth Yeager and I produced this video to highlight the project which has improved student retention and pass rates for K-12 students preparing for California’s English and Math high school exit exams.
During my class’s break today at The Anacapa School the students walked out to find a giant tour bus in front of the school with a likeness of Aerosmith’s Joe Perry on the side. Perry emerged from Our Daily Bread bakery across the street, jaywalked (which is against school rules, ha) to campus and signed autographs for each and every student. Fortunately for him it is a small school.
I spoke with Providence Business News reporter Ted Nesi last week about the FCC’s net neutrality announcement and the Commission’s lack of comment on “content neutrality.” Here is the article from today’s Weekly Technology Update in which I am quoted.
