Education
On June 18th, 2008, Assemblymember de la Torre visited students in Mr. Ulmer's class at South East Middle School. The Assemblymember was in Sacramento and the students were in their classroom in South Gate. They connected via video-conference through the free California State Parks program, PORTS (Parks Online Resources for Teachers). This program offers connections and standards aligned curriculum to all schools for free. Assemblymember de la Torre takes time throughout the year to connect with students throughout our community via this program. His advice, humor, and experiences provide authentic learning opportuntiies for our students. What an incredible experience for our students. Enjoy this recording of yesterday's visit.Thanks to all involved in making this videoconference possible.
