Hi Barry,

Thanks for sending the link to this slide show.  Things I liked about  
it include the overall message that young adults live digitally --  
and if we want to engage them we need to use the technology they are  
using to do it, and the collection of compelling facts.  Things I  
didn't care for include the guilt tripping and distracting music.

I understand that the Philadelphia YouthBuild Charter School has done  
a lot with integrating technology with urban youth (who left regular  
public schools before graduating). Also, the MATCH Charter School in  
Boston is built on integrating technology. These are both publicly- 
funded schools.

Barry, have you made any more videos yourself?  If so, please send us  
the URLs.

All the best,

David
