Education Through the George Lucas Foundation and PBS San Francisco; The Journey of Milton Chen, Longtime CEO of GLEF (Journeys of the Mind - recorded on 7/8/2025). The host for this show was Carl Ackerman. The guest was Milton Chen.
The discussion was: Given Dr. Chen’s work with PBS San Francisco and his work to create less violence in the media, especially for children’s programing, and his long lasting career working with movie maker George Lucas, especially in his focus on creating new technological approaches to education through the magazine Edutopia, the conversation will revolve around reform in the media and in education. We will focus on why Dr. Chen thought media and educational reform was so necessary for America and the world.
The takeaway was: How one man tried to remove violence from the screens for our young, and advocated a new approach to education, using technology, and a different approach for schools across America.
