2008-04-30 21:52:37 [Message] mindelei -> -EdTechTalk: Life in the suburbs is definitely different from inner city or rural
2008-04-30 21:52:41 [Message] george -> -EdTechTalk: It seems that this type of place-based program also shows students that the school values their cultures- we lack this in many of our schools in US- many students feel so disconnected from the school culture
2008-04-30 21:52:45 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: However, local history is a collective memory of people's connections to an area

2008-04-30 21:52:57 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: I was just thinking out loud- what is sense of place for the kids in the suburbs?

2008-04-30 21:53:56 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: @Maureen There isn't much of a sense of place for kids in the suburbs except that they are below adults. There's a lot of alcohol and drugs in suburban schools.
2008-04-30 21:54:31 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: that idea is true in the city too

2008-04-30 21:55:19 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: Kids in the city have a place though. In the suburbs, kids can't travel without a parent driving them. In the city, kids can be more independent.
2008-04-30 21:55:28 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: I remember a favorite project of mine in 6th grade was to do an interview with my great grandmother - who remembered Indians living near the Cape in MA.  Where has the respect for our elders gone?
2008-04-30 21:56:11 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: @kimt respect for elders has gone the way of worshiping youth
2008-04-30 21:56:29 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: I jsut did a project which required students to call a grandparent and interview them.  Some of the kids were really reluctant to do this...
2008-04-30 21:56:51 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: but not all the time- when we have seniors come in and volunteer in our library the students are very respectful to them

2008-04-30 21:57:34 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: it wasn't the talking about to the grandparents, I think it was having a conversation with them about something unknown
2008-04-30 21:57:51 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: I think grandparents aren't always as close as they used to be.
2008-04-30 21:58:06 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: so, we worked on interview questions and how to start the conversation
2008-04-30 21:58:07 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: I see my grandmother maybe once a month.
2008-04-30 21:58:11 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: @SusanEttenheim - we use seniors in our elementary schools but it might be neat to see them in middle or high school.  Maybe that would stimulate the respect again?

2008-04-30 21:59:54 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe their shared history is the history of stories of the commute??
2008-04-30 22:00:03 [Message] mindelei -> -EdTechTalk: @hfeldman I think that's true.  A lot of people don't have contact with grandparents.  For me - 1 set I saw daily, the other a handful of times in my life.
2008-04-30 22:00:21 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: so many of our suburban and urban schools are experiencing an expansion of language minority (quickly becoming majority) and as cultural difference comes to our schools it has provided the opportunities for the conversations about language, culture, and that sense of pride... it takes us facilitating and clarifying the questions... but is proving powerful

2008-04-30 22:00:48 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: do elders have to be relatives? don't we all find "mentors" one way or another in life?
2008-04-30 22:00:48 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: can't help but wonder if that sense of history and culture needs to be recognized and cultivated

2008-04-30 22:01:04 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: what I try to relay to my students is that the stories of their grandparents are THEIR stories... and that there is no better way to know who they are then to know who their grandparents are... 
2008-04-30 22:01:23 [Message] george -> -EdTechTalk: From our assignment last year- the grandparents really appreciated the assignment- and many students said they learned things they never knew about their family'

2008-04-30 22:02:38 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: we HAVE elders... when do we help kids see that culture is your underlying belief system- from your grandparents, your family... and as well, your family of choice- friends... when do we recognize what we DO have... and help kids understand this too
2008-04-30 22:03:04 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: Do any of you have experience with issues re family? We often have issues around lack of family- no mom, no dad, etc.. So projects which include interviewing family just aren't done, because it puts kids in awkward positions
2008-04-30 22:03:20 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: wow... that storytelling and interviewing is powerful
2008-04-30 22:03:35 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: We recently did a project interviewing someone, anyone, who had sacrificed
2008-04-30 22:03:38 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: good point maureen
2008-04-30 22:03:42 [Message] george -> -EdTechTalk: good night everyone! :)
2008-04-30 22:03:45 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: the thing that is really powerful about recording the stories is that the voices are preserved 
2008-04-30 22:03:54 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: the interviewee doesn't have to be family, just someone you know
2008-04-30 22:04:07 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: that's interesting hannah - how were the people chosen and did the students find it interesting?
2008-04-30 22:04:12 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: How would we contact the school to communicate?
2008-04-30 22:04:25 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: we use Ways With Words (shirley brice heath) as a model for teachers to explore ethnography... and same as hfeldman... it is not always someone you know or are related to
2008-04-30 22:04:48 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: @Hannah- we have an annual Grandparents Day and there are kids who stay home because of it, even tho they can have any family friend come in lieu of GP
2008-04-30 22:04:54 [Message] mindelei -> -EdTechTalk: @dlaufenberg That is very cool - having the voices preserved.  Amazing & powerful!
2008-04-30 22:04:59 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: but that idea of finding out from others with different experiences different from you- powerful
2008-04-30 22:05:32 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: love that- subsistence happens... we all need to remember that!
2008-04-30 22:05:51 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: the students just were told to do an interview around the subject of sacrifice. we were in groups of four, so each did an interview and then the interviews were edited down into "radio shows". some interviewed family, some neighbors, some teachers
2008-04-30 22:06:04 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: @Maureen/bcdtech - Yes, I can see how that would be an issue.  I know I would run into much of the same thing at my school.  The kids barely have functioning parents sometimes.  Very sad.
2008-04-30 22:06:10 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: maureen - my children never had grandparents nearby - I hated that!
2008-04-30 22:06:20 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: wow hfeldman, that sounds amazing!
2008-04-30 22:06:57 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: I guess it's just a question of teachers redefining elders and working on developng that community
2008-04-30 22:07:25 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Hannah, What a great idea to do interviews centered around a theme
2008-04-30 22:07:41 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: how were the people chosen Hannah?
2008-04-30 22:07:50 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: It was all up to the individual.
2008-04-30 22:07:52 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: we deeal with the "no-parents" "mo-grandparents" issue in Denver.  It is so hard... and we tried to control that...  but amazing things happened when we turned it over to the kids... and asked them to interview someone that mattered to them... someone who they looked up to... they all had someone
2008-04-30 22:08:22 [Message] dlaufenberg -> -EdTechTalk: i just got back from a river trip through a really culturally and scientifically interesting area in the SW

2008-04-30 22:09:02 [Message] mindelei -> -EdTechTalk: @Jenn R  I like that - finding someone who they look upto.  Rather than a person in a specific role. 
2008-04-30 22:09:20 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I hadn't thought of using YT to make those kinds of connections.  Great idea!

2008-04-30 22:09:59 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: My English teacher is a Freedom Writers teachers, and we did the line exercise thing. It helps people feel comfortable when they know they're not alone in having "different" family situations or not "perfect" lives.
2008-04-30 22:10:29 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what is the line exercise ?
2008-04-30 22:10:39 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: "stand on the line if"....statement
2008-04-30 22:10:52 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: example?
2008-04-30 22:10:58 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I heard about Freedom Writers when I heard about Foxfire.  Cool!

2008-04-30 22:11:32 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: @Hannah- high school age? Would this work with younger kids?
2008-04-30 22:11:33 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: it starts out with light topics, then gets more personal
2008-04-30 22:11:40 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: is there literally a line?
2008-04-30 22:11:43 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: I don't think it would work with younger kids
2008-04-30 22:11:46 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: yeah, duct tape
2008-04-30 22:11:48 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: @Hannah very powerful!  Saw it on TV.
2008-04-30 22:11:50 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: do people move around?
2008-04-30 22:11:54 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: yes
2008-04-30 22:11:56 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: interesting
2008-04-30 22:12:18 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: we've done similar things but not exactly that
2008-04-30 22:12:22 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: @Hannah- yeah, I think my MS kids would feel very uncomfortable. They are all about fitting in
2008-04-30 22:12:22 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: seems more like a high school thing mostly
2008-04-30 22:12:24 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: @maureen yes, high school.
2008-04-30 22:12:31 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I think it would work with younger kids with lighter topics, especially about pets
2008-04-30 22:12:55 [Message] mindelei -> -EdTechTalk: @James.Sigler  I think you're right...with the right topics all ages would benefit.
2008-04-30 22:13:02 [Message] kimt -> -EdTechTalk: @James could use lighter topics with Middle school to show them they are not alone??
2008-04-30 22:13:33 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: I have seen elementary kids do amazing things with these 'heavy' themes, though
2008-04-30 22:13:41 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: It sounds like a good cooperative learning structure that could be used with any content
2008-04-30 22:13:42 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: tenement.org?
2008-04-30 22:13:59 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: they know big societal things that are happening... they know what it feels like to 'feel different'
2008-04-30 22:14:00 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: sounds like the tenement Museum in nyc?
2008-04-30 22:14:10 [Message] hfeldman -> -EdTechTalk: I love the tenement museum!
2008-04-30 22:14:21 [Message] James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: 3rd graders have done projects about Dafur
2008-04-30 22:14:26 [Message] SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: yes, I think they have some online resources
2008-04-30 22:14:30 [Message] Jenna R -> -EdTechTalk: so... even not getting into the 'tough conversations' kids respond to the chance to talk about how they feel about things, too
2008-04-30 22:15:15 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks all- gotta get back to work
