●米国連邦通信委員会（ＦＣＣ）はセカンドライフがお好き！！（ソーシャルテレビ）

　米国政府は毎週、色々な委員会をフェースブックと組んだソーシャルテレビ（政府はライブチャットと呼んでいる。）で中継して国民の意見を求めています。でも何故かFCCはセカンドライフが大好きなようです。

8月２０日、ブロードバンドアクセスと教育の委員会がセカンドライフに生中継されました。

★★FCC Workshop on Education & Broadband simulcast in Second Life August 20
http://www.betterverse.org/2009/08/fcc-workshop-on-education.html

On Thursday, August 20, at 10:00am PST / 1pm EST, Global Kids will be hosting a Second Life simulcast of an FCC Workshop on the intersections of broadband access and education. The goal of this workshop is to identify potential impact of increased broadband access on education outcomes and how broadband policies can help improve those outcomes. The FCC hopes to learn about ways in which broadband can impact education at the early childhood, elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels in a cost-effective manner. The workshop will look at current programs, such as e-rate and evaluate how such programs can be improved, for example, to take advantage of new technologies that have arisen since it was established. The workshop will also look at what applications and devices might be used to improve educational performance.
