Actonel Side Effects

In this episode: Actonel Side Effects, Greg McClure shares a powerful experience regarding what could happen when we look critically at why we do what we do, the position from which we speak when we engage in what we are doing, and how we position ourselves and others in the process.

Thanks so much to Greg and his students!!. Your contribution is much appreciated.

Greetings CLIP Listeners,

First, we’d like to extend our gratitude to Vivian for giving us the opportunity to share this experience with you all.

My name is Greg McClure and this poemCast attempts to document our class’ transformation from a group of students and a teacher to a community of caring and engaged learners, actonel Side Effects.

The project began as I decided to keep a reflective journal to explore my teaching in an undergraduate course on language and culture in the classroom. I was committed to being brutally honest with myself and determined to examine the biases and stereotypes I was bringing into the classroom. How did these biases interact with my intentions of implementing a critical and engaged pedagogy. How did they limit our potential as a class to connect in true dialogue with one another. Actonel Side Effects, While I have never been a journal writer, it became the perfect tool to work through the possible answers to these important questions. The journal acted like a sieve, filtering and sorting my observations and reflections, slowing them down and disentangling them from one another. This process allowed me to recognize both the limits and possibilities of my teaching, giving me the reflective space necessary to begin moving towards a more open and democratic pedagogy.

Throughout the semester I maintained this creative tension between reflection and action and invited the class into the process as well. I was enthused and inspired often by the results in class, but always by the process we were taking. We incorporated a healthy mix of group work, student led discussions of the texts, and frequently used writing as a means to develop and share our individual thoughts on difficult topics like immigration, racism & privilege, actonel Side Effects. I constantly tried to facilitate an environment that encouraged sharing individual lived experiences, Buy zantac Online, but in a way that connected us to and enriched our understanding of the course concepts. We engaged in many activities that helped build community and deepen our understanding of each others’ perspectives, often questioning our own in the process. Here, it is important to highlight our initial experience of writing and sharing “I Am” poems. This simple act of exploring our “cultural selves” together was a powerful process and moved our sense of community forward, as folks showed their willingness to be vulnerable and supportive of one another. Actonel Side Effects, It was this initial experience that set the direction for the rest of our course and inspired our decision to develop our “We Are” poem and to share it as a poemCast.

Realizing the "insider" nature of “We Are” poems, we struggled to generate something meaningful beyond the limits of our classroom, yet still authentically represent our experiences in the course. Our goal was to create something that reads not so much as a collective profile of our personalities and experiences, but rather a statement of our evolving philosophies on education, learning, and human relationships. We’ve tried to capture the spirit of our classroom here and to document our development as a community of engaged, critical educators. We feel our experience is a testament to the power of dialogue and community building in education. With that we leave you with our poemcast, in hopes that it may inspire you to look critically at your own pedagogy, wherever you are, actonel Side Effects.

We Are…

We are the swarming gnats of South Georgia and the cold, Atarax No Rr, misty mountains of the Bavarian Alps.

We are la douce France, Vietnam and Nigeria.

We are Latinos, Koreans, and North Americans, blending and becoming, defined as much by our aspirations as by our ethnicity and location.

We are the prejudices of our childhood, both enduring and imposing. Actonel Side Effects, Our collective experience knows the sting of English only, the sorrow of monolingualism, and the beauty and power of linguistic diversity. For some, the language of our ancestors is within reach, yet somehow just beyond.

We are a class where worlds collide, a medley of races, beliefs, backgrounds and religions. We are not merely individuals with incredible pasts; we are a class with one powerful story to tell.

We were once strangers, but have connected to build supportive and understanding relationships erected on a foundation of dialogue and trust, Buy zantac Without A Prescription. Once a week, we are seated at the intersection of our various paths, en route towards our diverse destinations; all the while enjoying the opportunity to journey vicariously through each others’ gifts of language and culture, actonel Side Effects.

Uniquely united for a short time, we have become a community of learners, teaching each other and growing along the way. We are acting, thinking, reflecting, doing. Taking risks, sharing, and crossing boundaries. We are peeling back the layers of our once concealed culture, taking stock of influence and ideology. Actonel Side Effects, Perhaps not all future educators of children, we are all future educators of society. We are willing to discard our prior misconceptions of the unknown, to step outside of ourselves and be vulnerable, willing to view the world through the eyes of another.

We are different experiences joined together in a common vision for education. A vision of compassion and possibility, fueled by a commitment to equity. Avandia Prescription, We are motivated to change the unjust through reflection, struggle, and action, recognizing the power of experience and solidarity.

Alone, I am not able, but together, we are.

Wecome to show 29 of the CLIP Podcast. This week, I’m breaking clip tradition by releasing two shows. Today's show is the second in what I hope to be many crossover shows between CLIP and Just One More Book, a podcast on children’s books done by Andrea and Mark in their favorite coffee shop in Ottawa, imitrex Pill. As most of you know Just One More book is one of the podcasts on my must listen list. Over the past six months we’ve created through the air waves a very enjoyable, supportive, and respectful relationship which I value very much.

Tomorrow I'll be releasing part 2 of my conversation with Heather Jopling, Discount lotrisone Online.

For today's show what Andrea, Mark, and I have done is deliberately choose the same text, Tudley Didn’t Know , a picture book by John Himmelman, from which to build an episode on a show we have both released today. Imitrex Pill, I love that we are able to take advantage of podcasting as a tool for transcending space and bringing to you complimentary perspectives and discussions , from two different shows, on the same text. You can access Just One More Book at www.justonemorebook.com where you will hear Andrea and Mark talk about Tudley.

A friend and colleague, Jerry Harste notes, when we read something, we usually have an initial response or reaction, which may change if we have to defend our response, if we talk to someone with a different interpretation, Accupril Dosage, or if we engage in conversation. He further asserts that to be critically literate we need to know about alternate ways of responding as well as know how our response positions us in the world. He continues by saying too often in the past, we have prepared readers without this kind of agency. In response to this problem he adapted a strategy from David Bleich on supporting readers to develop the habits of mind to seek out multiple (and even conflicting versions) of every story they hear and to “take agency” in fashioning those responses to reflect how they want to position themselves as well as how they wish others to see them in the world, imitrex Pill.

For this crossover show what I decided to do with the help of three colleagues, Jerry Harste from Indiana, Carol Felderman from Virginia and Charlotte Gonzalez also from Virginia, is to offer you ways of thinking about Tudley from different interpretive stances.

In a nutshell, Tudley is a playful book about a young turtle who doesn’t realize there are things that he probably shouldn’t be able to do as a turtle, such as fly, until someone or something else calls attention to it.

The first perspective on Tudley represents an aesthetic stance. Aesthetic responses deal with the emotional experience of reading. Imitrex Pill, Here is an example of an intertextual perspective. In this stance readers make sense of the text in terms of other texts, Cheapest zanaflex.

From a philosophical stance we discussed the notion of universal truths or messages.

The final stance represented in our conversation is a critical perspective, which helps us see the big issues that lie just beyond the text.

Thank Yous
Before I go I want to say thank you to the following people for contributing to the show, participating in the show, commenting on the show or contacting me regarding the show; Carol Felderman and her second graders at Bailey’s Elementary School, Erin, Anna Sumida, Heather Jopling, Andy of the Andycast, Charlotte, Jerry Harste, Jan, Buy augmentin Without A Prescription, and Vickie from a Beaded Embrace.

Transcript for Childhood Revisited _ CLIP 27

Intro

Hi There. As promised here I am with show 27 of the CLIP Podcast, claritin Side Effects. Thank you for coming back to listen to the show. Nasonex Prescription, I received quite a bit of really thoughtful feedback from the past two shows that I decided to create this show based on that feedback. Next week I’ll be airing an interview with Heather Jopling, author of some very thoughtful and thought-provoking texts such as The Not So Only Child and Ryan’s Mom is Tall.

Before I get on with this week’s show I want to share with you what I believe to be a wonderful compliment and honor that I found out about just before recording this show. Claritin Side Effects, Mark Blevis in his blog at www.markblevis.com included me in his list of top 10 most underrated podcasts. It was such a terrific surprise. Mark is the host of Elecric Sky and co-host of Just One More Book, a podcast that I talk about frequently on CLIP. He also co-hosts the Canadian Podcast Buffet, a show that sustains and nurtures the Canadian Podcasting community. So he is a respected leader in the field and I want to publicly thank you Mark for honoring me and CLIP by including me in your top ten list especially given the other names already on the list.

Audio from Carol Felderman

Thank you very much to Carol Felderman for sending that audio, claritin Side Effects. What is most interesting to me regarding her thoughts are her reflections on her own childhood recalling how she and her brother also participated as consumers of Mcdonalds happy meals. In this case I think what critical literacy has afforded us is a way of talking about some issues and instances of living from a different perspective. I was also very interested in her comment regarding the relationship between power and the happy meal toys, zanaflex Without A Prescription, which her students use as tools for positioning themselves within the classroom community. In a sense these happy meal toys represent a form of cultural capital in their particular setting. Claritin Side Effects, Station id
Midtro

Anna Sumida was inspired by the Happy Meal conversation that she now wants to raise some issues regarding the Happy Meal with students with whom she works to hear what they’d have to say.

Charles Cadenhead, who has a young son and daughter, commented that he finds the girls toys in general to be of a more supportive and cooperative nature than the boy toys which are usually associate with themes of war, fighting and competition.

Andrea who has two young daughters shared a funny story. She said while buzzing around the kitchen in a world of her own, trying to navigate her other 3 house-mates, she noticed her younger daughter Bayla had stopped emptying her lunch bag and was trying repeatedly to tell her something. Andrea finally realized what she was saying “Mom, Cardura No Rr, there’s a bad word on this spoon” (the disposable spoon she had had in her lunch bag). She stopped buzzing and focused on the hard-to-read raised lettering on the black take-out spoon which read “McDonalds”, claritin Side Effects. She says it cracked her up noting “I guess she knows how “we” think!”

Ross of Dry Shave who has a young son, also had a gendered experience with regards to the Happy Meal which he talked about in one of the episodes on his show.

Why are these comments interesting and important to me. Because whether we choose to believe it or not, according to Carmen Luke, although children are not direct income earners, they are in charge of more pocket money than in the past, and they also exert significant power over parental purchase choices so helping them to learn about being informed consumers really does matter.

Social Action Text Set & Podcasting_CLIP 22 Partial Transcript

Intro

Aloha, Discount advair. You are listening to show 22 of the CLIP podcast. Tonight’s show is the final installation of a three part series, which was recorded on the beautiful island of Hawaii, at the International Reading Association’s Regional Conference which was held there a few weeks ago. In Today’s show I build on a text set I had started in a previous show as well as talk about Podcasting in general. If you haven’t heard the previous two installations I would urge you to at least listen to Show# 21 prior to listening to tonight’s show. Discount advair, And as the sun sets on my memorable and heart warming experience in Hawaii, I urge you to please visit my blog post regarding supporting Kamehameha Schools.

One thing I hope you can take away from the three part series is the need to always ask ourselves why we’re doing what we’re doing and what literacies are produced through our teaching, as educators, parents, and caregivers, as well as consider how those literacies play out in the real world.

Consequently, we need to think about how our teaching positions our students and children, actonel Online, in particular ways along with understanding the position from which we teach.

Liana Honda Station ID/ Midtro

When this incident took place there weren’t many books available that would support the work we were doing. So I relied primarily on books that created space for talking about issues of social justice, fairness and equity. Nowadays however there are so many wonderful books that can be used to create space for talking about the issues raised by my students in the French Café story, Discount advair.

I’m thinking here of books like Si Se Puede, Yes We Can, a bilingual book about the justice for janitors strike in LA as told from the perspective of a young boy whose mother becomes a leader of the strike or

The Streets are Free by Kurusa and Monika Doppert which is a story based on the experience of children in a low income neighborhood in Venezuela who fought for the right to turn an empty lot into a playground. So it’s about organizing to defend your rights.

Another book is Selavi, That’s Life which is a true story of Selavi, a street child in Haiti who shares food and a place to sleep with other street children who eventually contributes to opening a home for children and starting Radyo Timoun, Children’s Radio, a station run by and for children, which, until March of 2004, was still in operation.

At Radyo Timoun, the questions and suggestions of children were broadcast for all to hear. Discount advair, In March, 2004, however, the station was destroyed in the midst of the incredible unrest in Haiti.

An article appeared in yesterday’s USA Today that would fit nicely with this text set.

Another text that would be a wonderful fit with this already powerful text set is a song performed by a group of Kindergarten to Grade Six children at Selsted Primary School which is located in a small rural community in South-East Kent in the UK. Clarinex Dosage, Selsted was one of 12 schools earmarked for closure because of falling pupil numbers in the county. In protest the children and adults of the school formed The Save Selsted Action Group who then wrote a song to protest its proposed closure. The children were invited to perform their song on a local television broadcast, Discount advair. That’s the image you are seeing. From here the song was picked up by on line audio broadcasters, called podcasters, who spread the word of the children’s plight. An online music store in the UK 7 Digital and The Podsafe Music Network in the US both picked up the song, selling downloads for 99p in the UK and 99cents in the US. These music networks exist specifically for independent artists. Discount advair, Podcasting as a Critical Move
As I introduce the children of Selsted School I will simultaneously share with you a third critical move, namely my attempts at using various forms of technology in connection with my work. Specifically I will introduce the children of selsted to you through sharing an episode from an online radio show or Podcast that I host.

What is a Podcast.
This is how Todd Maffin, the Canadian Podfather describes Podcasting.

He says, "Podcasting" as a web-based broadcast medium. Audio files are made available online in a way that allows software to automatically detect the availability of new files and download the files for listening at the user's convenience, Discount advair.

It is like a free audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and can listen to them at their leisure. To listen to my show you simply have to go to the web address provided on the handout available through the IRA website.

Podcasts differ from traditional internet audio because they can be listened to at any time since a copy is on the listener's computer or portable music player, and they are automatically delivered to subscribers, so no active downloading is required.

My hope as the show takes hold is to have folks from around the globe participate in some way, Order zoloft. Discount advair, So that the show truly becomes a site for continuously generating spaces for critical literacies in varied settings and for varied purposes.

Why Podcast. And Why we need to capitalize on this technology.
Let me share some statistics in response to these questions.

Researchers at the Diffusion Group recently predicted that the U.S. podcast audience will climb from 840,000 last year to 56 million by 2010, Discount advair.

And what started out as a system for distributing homespun radio programming over the Web has now caught on with big media companies. ABC News, NBC News, ESPN Disney and National Public Radio have all introduced podcast programming in recent months.

Libsyn is a popular podcast host site. According to their data more than 45 million people listened to and watched podcasts off the libsyn network alone in the first quarter of the year. Discount advair, What you will hear is a segment from my online show that is focused on the children of Selsted. I’m playing it here because it provides a good context for your listening of the children’s song.

Play CLIP 15: Save our School

So there are many more books and multi-media texts to draw from and work with in different ways. Imagine then, the possibilities for working across the curriculum with such rich resources for teaching and learning.

Negotiating Social Action Projects_CLIP21
Partial Transcript

Hello Everyone. You are listening to show 21 of the CLIP podcast, Cheap clarinex Online. Tonight’s show is part two of a three part series, which was recorded on the beautiful island of Hawaii, at the International Reading Association’s Regional Conference which was held there two weeks ago.

I focused my talk on particular critical moves in my life as a literacy educator. In today’s segment you will hear me talking about the second move, Buy kamagra Online, which I refer to as Negotiating Spaces for Critical Literacy. Some of you may have heard me share this story in show number 1. Cheap clarinex Online, My experience in presenting this work has sometimes been met with skepticism regarding whether or not my students really were able to participate in projects dealing with such deep and often difficult social issues. So today, what I will do is take you on brief journey to familiarize you with some of the sights and sounds of the classroom.

The School Site
The school was located in a very diverse, multi ethnic, middle class community just outside Metropolitan Toronto in Ontario, Canada. Although the socio economic context has been designated ‘middle class’, this was not straightforward. Within this area, there were homes occupied by more than one family. The class was a half -day pre school group that met from 8.45am – 11.15am, M-F, Cheap clarinex Online.

Physical Environment and Resources
-The physical space of the classroom was flexible enough to incorporate changes and provide room for innovation and improvisation.

-A wide range of rich resources such as videos, news articles, music, books, everyday texts, art posters and web sites were available. Along with materials needed to support the study of the different issues that interested the class, accupril No Rr.

-Observation was an important feature of practice, as it enabled me to build on children’s interests in important and reflective ways. Cheap clarinex Online, -The carefully constructed environment offered children physical, social, emotional and cognitive spaces in which to engage in their critical projects and, to become co-researchers and participants in collaborative activities.

The Curriculum
The curriculum emerged in an organic way from the cultural and social practices in which my students and I engaged.

Classroom practice was the result of a complex dynamic of theorized practice, each one informing the other. Critical literacy theories impacted approaches to teaching, but the effects of these approaches and the issues raised in practice also affected the theories and understanding of them. The curriculum was not free from curricular mandates and the threat of standardized testing. The School Board dictated specific programs to follow, Cheap clarinex Online. As the classroom teacher, I made sure that I understood what was expected of me through the mandated curriculum in order to demonstrate to parents, colleagues and administrators that our negotiated curriculum surpassed the required curriculum. I did this as a way of creating as much space as I could to engage in the literacy work that I felt would offer my students more opportunities for contributing to social change and that would give them access to more powerful literacies.

As a context for negotiating critical literacies with young children, a critical perspective provided my students with opportunities, as noted by Comber (2005) to;
-Engage with local realities,
-Research and analyze language / power relationships, practices and effects.
-Mobilize students’ knowledge and practices, Discount xenical Without Prescription, -(Re) design texts with political and social intent and real world use,
-Subvert taken for granted ‘school’ texts,
-Focus on students’ use of local cultural texts, and
-Examine how power is exercised and by whom
