Summary: Voices from 2020, Vol. 8, "The Digital Bridge Academy", published June 30, 2007, with hosts Firehawk and Bill Veltrop, interviewing Diego Navarro. In this eighth episode of Voices from 2020, hosts Firehawk and Bill Veltrop interview Diego Navarro, Founder and Director of the Digital Bridge Academy at Cabrillo College in Watsonville, California. The Digital Bridge Academy is a highly innovative program designed explicitly to help accelerate the readiness of students who are “under-prepared” for college in any number of ways (including “at-risk” students, who make up sometimes over 90% of the student population), and the Academy does this – not in years, but in only one semester. In this episode, learn about how the Academy “Lights the Fire for Learning” in these students, and how it has transformed the whole concept of education – and the lives of many – by the year 2020.
