Free C-Span White House DVD Available to Teachers

A couple of weeks ago I was channel surfing and ran across the special documentary C-Span did on the White House. It was an amazing look at book the history and the function of the most public private residence in the country. Today on Twitter I saw a tweet from Gina Hartman stating that teachers can get a free copy of the White House on C-Span DVD by registering on their site here.

This was a great program and would be a great addition to an teacher's DVD collection. Thanks to Gina for the tip!

Podcast #85 - Interview With Scott Peterson on the C-Span 2008 Campaign Bus

Hello. Today the podcast is an interview with Scott Peterson on board the C-Span 2008 Campaign Bus. Earlier this week I was in Lincoln, Nebraska where I gave the keynote address at the Time Warner Spotlight on Education Award Banquet and before the evening's activities started people were able to check out the C-Span bus. This is the same C-Span bus that used to be bright yellow. Now it has a cool looking wrap that looks like a huge American flag. I interviewed C-Span marketing representative Scott Peterson inside the bus about it's purpose and the upcoming 2008 presidential election. Be sure to check out the show notes below for some additional information about C-Span and the Campaign 2008 bus. If they roll through your town it is worth your while to come out and see the bus.
