SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard | 2016-06-27 | 12 | Action Step Five: Produce an East Bay Connects Video showing vignettes of people, from populations with high percentages on the wrong side of the digital divide, who are using Broadband in ways that benefit their lives. The purpose of the Video is to promote the importance of Broadband, the uses of Broadband, and East Bay Connects and the East Bay Connects Contact Center and phone number as a way to sign-up for affordable Broadband and the other elements in the Digital Inclusion Solution. Action Step Six: Show the video and make presentations widely through social service and other public agencies, health care organizations, community groups, faith-based organizations, on local television and internet networks, and on the East Bay Connects website. Action Step Seven: Present, discuss, and evaluate the results of East Bay Connects at the Second Annual East Bay Broadband Summit in January 1014 and make any mid-course corrections as needed. Implementation of the Action Steps for East Bay Connects is also proceeding well. The Digital Inclusion Solution is in place. The Contact Center has been established and is being tested now. The phone number is 866-460-7439. The East Bay Connects Video has been completed and is available on the East Bay Connects website which is up at www.eastbayconnects.com, East Bay Connects Metrics The primary metric for evaluating the success of East Bay Connects is the production of documented Broadband adoptions. East Bay Connects is pursuing 1,100 documented adoptions in year 2 and 1,900 documented adoptions in year 3. As secondary metrics, East Bay Connects will document the number of showings of the video, the number of presentations in association with the video, and audiences for these presentations as well as the number of people who participate in the Digital Inclusion Solution. SCHOOL2HOME In a separate related project, not funded by the grant from the CPUC, EBBC is partnering with the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) to support School2Home pilots at Frick Middle School and West Oakland Middle School in Oakland and exploring the possibility of a School2Home pilot in Richmond. School2Home provides: Free Broadband devices to all students. Training for teachers in on-line educational systems and techniques. Orientation for parents. Organization of human services teams in relation to the neighborhoods surrounding the schools to help create optimal school/neighborhood learning environments. 8 | SubcommitteeoftheCityCouncilandSchoolBoard/2016-06-27.pdf |
