Re: MEDIA LITERACY PBS SHOW

[Susan Choi <smchoi@IX.NETCOM.COM>]

FYI - One of the remote sites for this satellite teleconference (see
below) was San Jose, Calif., in the Educational Media Center of the Santa
Clara County Office of Education.  We operate an ITFS (Instructional
Television Fixed Service) system and have a tv studio where our portion
of the program originated.  We have been assured that some of our site
will be shown next week.  We were a bit controversial since we had real
live high school students in the audience who made some pointed, and I
thought relevant, comments.   It shook things up a bit!
