Subscribers occupy a broad range within the education community—from Harvard affiliates to charter schools and other universities. According to Rodman, school administrators developed the idea for a new live-feed when GSE student Hanna Rodriguez-Farrar provided live commentary over the main feed during a panel discussion on Boston charter schools earlier this month. The first feed will link interested followers to the live one whenever coverage of an event begins. “We felt the need to separate...
