Obama's Schools Pick / Craig Newmark
This morning, President-elect Barack Obama announced his choice of Chicago schools chief Arne Duncan as his Education secretary. We talk with two education experts about the pick in the first half hour. In the second half hour, we talk with Craigslist founder Craig Newmark. President-elect Barack Obama's platform calls for a "Craigslist for service" that would "leverage technology to increase awareness of and participation in service opportunities." Newmark joins us to share his vision for using technology to expand civic engagement.
