Interview with Education Chairman

On a recent trip to Washington DC I decided to see if I could talk to a few of our notable Representatives in Congress. Rep. George Miller was not only available but eager to talk with me about the outreach the Committee had done in the first 100 days of the New Congress in 2007 to work with students on how we can make higher education easier and more manageable for students.

Some friends who work on the Hill told me that he was a great guy, and very forward thinking when it comes to technology and outreach, but I had no idea he would be as engaging and eager to talk about the needs of students and ways in which we can continue our work after Election Day. It was a true honor, and I certainly look forward to seeing what is possible in the 2009 Legislative Session.

Second LIfe

Really great video, Sarah. I was super impressed with most of what he had to say, particularly in the beginning about working with students on the higher education bill.

Though, I do have to say that I cringed when he spoke about second life. Who is still out there selling that snake-oil to politicians? Whoever it is needs to stop.

lol... I know... I think

lol... I know... I think though that second life was more of a thing back in January 2007. and believe it or not a TON of people still use it, no idea why
