I've added a new section to blog - the new tab, "Juvenile Hall...Connected! (Supplements) is meant to accompany the two-part vlog I just completed on an early exercise in social media, which involved a computer bulletin board system in the early 1990's that allowed for kids incarcerated at Fresno County Juvenile Hall to participate in a specially supervised program that allowed them to become part of an online community. You'll find the two vlogs embedded under that tab, as well. Both use footage from my short documentary, "Simple Things: Letters From Juvenile Hall."
The supplemental information, pulled from an textual version of my documentary, tells the story of "Small Fry," a teen participant in the program during that time, and includes actual messages between he and other members of the online community, "Teen Outreach Through Technology" (or TOTT).
Thanks for posting the whole series and supplemental material. This has really been incredible.
