New York City Mayor Bloomberg and the Open Society Foundations' Campaign for Black Male Achievement are championing a major initiative to improve the success and life outcomes of black and Latino boys and ensure that our communities as a whole are healthier and stronger.
Shawn Dove, manager of the campaign, recently explained the purpose of the new Young Men's Initiative and the rationale behind it in an interview with NPR affiliate KPCC in Los Angeles. Dove explains the Foundations' long-standing commitment to helping these vulnerable populations and why past programs have failed. He also discusses how this is an integrated approach to the issue that will address low graduation rates, high poverty rates, and unemployment among young black and Latino men.
Luidia Lets Amazon Kindle Users View eBeam Interactive Whiteboard Content.
Pediatrics Week January 2, 2010 Luidia, Inc., the award-winning developer of eBeam[R] interactive whiteboard technology, announced that its eBeam software now allows users to send a wide variety of interactive whiteboard-generated content directly to their Amazon Kindle or Kindle DX. Kindle is Amazon's wireless reading device that allows customers to download books, blogs, magazines and newspapers to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper. Luidia is the first interactive whiteboard developer to provide this feature, which lets teachers, students and business users send presentations, lessons and notes to Amazon Kindle devices, the bestselling product across the millions of items sold by Amazon. go to website amazon kindle support
Luidia users have long been able to save content from whiteboard sessions - including material generated by or annotated with dry-erase markers - to laptops and other personal computers. Now, Luidia's software makes saving whiteboard content to both a Kindle and Kindle DX as easy as choosing "Send to Kindle" on a pull-down menu. Students can review class lessons, parents can see what children have studied in class, and businesses can review presentations and brainstorming sessions on their Kindle. This new feature is not only convenient, it also is a paperless, environmentally friendly alternative to taking conventional notes. website amazon kindle support
"As consumer technologies evolve, so too does eBeam," said Luidia CEO Rafi Holtzman. "Educators and corporations could already capture everything that takes place in a classroom or meeting with an eBeam system. Now they can also use a Kindle or Kindle DX to review those lessons and presentations - wherever and whenever they want." About Luidia Luidia produces eBeam portable interactive solutions that work with existing writing surfaces to capture meeting notes as they are created and, in conjunction with digital projection, turn traditional whiteboards into interactive ones. Luidia also provides its award-winning Idea Capturing Technology™ to industry leaders such as 3M, ACCO, Hitachi, NEC, edding AG, and Uchida, which incorporate the technology into compelling new interactive presentation and display products. Formerly a division of Electronics for Imaging (NASDQ:EFII), Luidia was incorporated in July 2003. For more information, please visit: www.luidia.com.
