CSI King/Drew

Hey it works!

THis week we are trying out the use of internal TV system to broadcast lectures and lessons originating from the Oral Arts room. (If you are unaware of our school this is a small auditorium that holds about 120 people.) The plan is to give the students a background in what goes into the investigation of crimes through the use of science.

So far so good!

The feed back from the classrooms has been positive. They are happy to at least have a view of the proceedings and be able to contribute (albeit via the phone). For once the technology is being used for a positive effecthere at the school.

We also need to send a big thank you to the National Library of Medicine for helping to arrange for our keynote speaker, Mr. Kirk Bloodworth. His compelling story about going to jail for a murder/rape he didn't committ and sitting on death row for nearly 20 years before finally being cleared is going to play strongly here on Wednesday. If you aren't familiar with his story he is the first person to ever be exonerated of a crime through the means of DNA. His story can be read in the book by Tim Junkins: Bloodsworth: The True Story of One Man's Triumph over Injustice

Hopefully the rest of the week goes as well as the first day.
