What p

rojects are yo

u currently involved

with at C

CTV

?W

ell, a coup

le of thing

s. First, I pro

duce a sho

w called

Cam

brid

ge Sp

orts B

eatab

out lo

cal spo

rts that arehap

pening

in Cam

brid

ge. M

ostly, it has to

do

with hig

h schoo

l student athletes. It’s ho

sted b

y a gentlem

ancalled

Ray Lo

uenstein, who

runs the Cam

brid

ge R

acquet and

Fitness Club

. The club actually sup

po

rts thesho

w a lo

t. We run an exercise seg

ment o

ut of there, a lo

t of the sto

ries com

e out o

f there, and a lo

t of the

local events that g

o thro

ugh there w

e will use fo

r the show

. Asid

e from

that, I wo

rk on a w

orksho

p fo

r two

com

munity centers w

ith David

Zermeno

. The two

centers are pro

ducing

com

mercials that rep

resent their center.

You w

ork a lo

t with kid

s and m

edia literacy. Tell m

e why yo

u’re passio

nate abo

ut this.The kid

s are amazing

to m

e because they’re p

retty creative and if yo

u give them

what they need

, they’reg

oing

to p

rod

uce things that are so

metim

es just as go

od

as adult p

rod

ucers. They have a certain freedo

mthat I really like. They’re no

t afraid o

f technolo

gy. That’s o

ne of the challeng

es I find w

hen I’m w

orking

with

adults. They’re so

scared o

f the technolo

gy. U

ntil they can get p

ast that [fear] they can’t even tell their stories

well. B

ut kids d

on’t have that p

rob

lem. They’re used

to p

laying these new

com

puter g

ames and

som

e of

them actually g

rew up

with co

mp

uters. Whereas ad

ults toad

ay did

n’t have this new techno

log

y gro

wing

up.

The kids, w

hatever you g

ive them, they’ll fly w

ith it.

Why d

o yo

u think it’s imp

ortant that these kid

s learn abo

ut med

ia and techno

log

y?If yo

u loo

k at the wo

rld to

day, m

edia is everything

. If you run a co

mp

any you need

med

ia; if you are a

po

litician you need

med

ia; if you’re trying

to sell a p

rod

uct you need

med

ia. And

mo

st imp

ortantly if yo

uw

ant to g

et a messag

e out there, w

hatever it is you’re trying

to say, the b

est way to

get it o

ut there is TV,rad

io, and

Internet. So it’s im

po

rtant for kid

s to b

e able to

express them

selves throug

h technolo

gy and

med

ia. But it’s also

imp

ortant fo

r them to

get into

the new w

ork fo

rce. No

matter w

here you w

ork yo

u have tostart learning

how

to use co

mp

uters. And

a new rang

e of jo

bs has co

me o

ut since this new techno

log

y hasco

me o

ut. These days, so

meb

od

y can pro

duce q

uality video

s at hom

e, ten years ago

, you co

uldn’t. Yo

u usedto

need a w

hole stud

io to

do

it. So, it’s o

pened

it up a lo

t mo

re op

po

rtunities. And

I want the kid

s to have

those o

pp

ortunities.

Can yo

u tell me ab

out the p

rog

rams yo

u’ve do

ne in the past?

The Summ

er Med

ia Institute is som

ething I’m

really pro

ud o

f. I’ve do

ne that for tw

o sum

mers; this p

ast sum

mer and

the previo

us summ

er. It’s amazing

to m

e, if you listen to

kids and

their stories they have to

tell.This p

ast summ

er the theme w

as "Finding

Peace After Sep

temb

er 11." It was very m

oving

to see w

hat som

eo

f these kids had

to say ab

out that w

hole incid

ent and w

hat’s go

ing o

n in the wo

rld. They have d

ifferentp

oints o

f view and

they have a lot to

say abo

ut it. I think if adults listen, they can actually learn a lo

t from

kids.

That’s one p

art of it: the sto

ries that they tell are incredib

le. Also

, once ag

ain go

ing b

ack to ho

w m

uch theycan d

o w

ith the med

ia now

, it’s imp

ressive. I’m just really g

lad to

be a p

art of that.

CTV had

been in a position to offer free computer training in

With recent budget cuts how

"These comm

oney, these comm

unity programs continue

to be the best deal in town. I don’t know

where else in

are programs and training for as little as $25 a year. " H

eadds that, for low

income participants w

ho are experiencing finan-cial hardship, there w

ill still be other options.

"People can still volunteer in lieu of their mem

bership fee, saysZerm

eno, “so there’s really no reason why som

eone can’t contin-ue to gain free access." First tim

e visitors will also receive one free

session of computer training so that they can choose w

to look hard look at ourselves and at recognizing our limitations,"

adds Zermeno. "W

As the final tw

e to a close at the Central Square Branch of the

s at CC

TV. In response to recent budget cuts, CC

TV needsto discontinue its free Fam

ily Com

puter Literacy Program (FC

LP)for low

income and linguistic m

inority parents and their families.

Historically, the Fam

has served approximately 75

families a year by providing tw

elve-week

computer training w

has served mostly low

-incom

e Am

erican-born citizens as well as

Hispanic, H

aitian, and Portuguese nativespeakers w

ho use the program to

improve their com

puter and literacyskills.

Parents first learned how to use a

mouse, and keyboard, and used M

icrosoft Word to create letters

and other documents to practice literacy skills that are applicable

in their everyday life. After gaining confidence from

10 weeks of

intensive training, parents would invite their children to the last

two sessions to use the Internet as a fam

ily resource.

“This is definitely the end of an era," states David Zerm

eno,C

CTV’s C

anager. "What’s

really tragic is that while children are learning com

puters inschool, there’s no one else providing these services to these par-ents in need. They lack basic skills that the rest of us take forgranted. So it’s a dark day for these parents. C

CTV has carried

the torch for free computer literacy for as m

any years as we could,

and we are seeking new

funding sources to enable us maintain

this valuable program," concludes Zerm

eno..
