Archived webcast on strategies to address childhood obesity

If you missed the National School Boards Association?s live webcast ?Leadership in Action: Policymakers Addressing Childhood Obesity Through Collaboration and Policy Change,? it?s not too late!  BoardBuzz is pleased to announce that the webcast is now available in archival form on the Education Solutions Global Network (ESGN) website: http://www.esgn.tv/.  Simply click on the red and blue promotional graphic for the program that is located on the right side of the ESGN home page.  There is no cost for viewing the archive, which can be watched an unlimited number of times.  It will be available until July 1, 2010. 

This webcast is a useful resource and discussion tool for community- and school-based groups (school boards, PTA/PTO councils, city or county councils, etc) to discuss the important issues around childhood obesity, as well as strategies you can use in your community or state to address them.  The archived program can be shown in segments, ?paused,’ and ‘re-started’ (by using the ‘pause’ and ‘play’ buttons) as many times as needed to provide you with the opportunity to discuss the program’s content.

After accessing the program from the ESGN web page, you can also download the agenda of the original ‘live’ program as well as presentation slides used in the original broadcast by ‘clicking’ on the appropriate links next to the broadcast window.

For any technical difficulties watching the archived edition of the program, contact ESGN at esgn@esgn.tv.
