Transcript for Acts Of Kindness And Social Action_CLIP 23

Intro

Hello Everyone. You are listening to show 23 of the CLIP podcast which I would like to dedicate to my friends and colleagues in Hawaii especially those who are connected with Kamehameha Schools. Congratulations again on a favorable court decision regarding the John Doe lawsuit, synthroid Prescription.

Tonight’s show focuses on a powerful text set on acts of kindness and social action submitted by Andrea Ross of Just One More Book, a wonderful podcast and resource on children’s books. The idea for the show resulted from a comment by Andrea on a previous clip episode after which time I encouraged her to send me audio expanding on her thoughts. I’m so pleased she agreed to do the show and I know you will truly enjoy what she has to say as much as I have. I thought it was especially appropriate as we enter the holiday season.

Audio from Andrea Ross Synthroid Prescription, This is Andrea Ross, devoted CLIP listener and one of the children's book fanatics behind the Just One More Book!. Podcast.

More often than not, Vivian's CLIP episodes leave me buzzing with ideas, Buy celexa, inspiration and feeling a bit like I've fallen out in the middle of a lively, engaging conversation. And... more often than not... the result is a long and rambling email to Vivian from me, filling her in on all the thoughts and ideas her show has brought up for me.

A few weeks ago, Vivian decided to cure me of this post-CLIP rambling email habit by suggesting that I put some of those thoughts into a segment for her show, synthroid Prescription. This is my attempt to do that. I think I'm cured.

In CLIP Episode 16, entitled "Acts of Courage and Acts of Kindness", Vivian presented A multi-media text set of children's books and audio exploring the idea that children can make improvements in the world.

This inspiring show brought to mind two fabulous books and two organizations that can help children see the power and possibility of relatively small, tangible gestures.

Beatrice's Goat Synthroid Prescription, , written by Page McBrier and Illustrated by Lori Lohstoeter, tells the true story of a 9 year old Ugandan girl whose life is changed for the better by the gift of a goat. This gorgeous book, with its warm, Order combivir Without A Prescription, earthy illustrations and simple narration effectively illustrates how the education, income and nourishment provided by the goat slowly and steadily improves the health and wellbeing of the entire family -- and eventually ripples outward to neighbouring families. The story is accompanied by a description of the Heifer Organization:

Instead of providing hungry families with a temporary source of food, Heifer International provides a "living loan" of an animal and training in animal care. Each family in turn passes these gifts to another family in need, creating a chain of hope that lifts entire communities.

The second book on this goat-giving theme is "The Goat Lady", by Jane Bregoli. What an amazing book, synthroid Prescription. What an amazing story. Filled with gorgeous grey/blue paintings and a striking example of the power of understanding, this book is too great a masterpiece to do justice here. The relevant point is that the main character of this true story is an elderly Quebecois widow in Massachusetts who raises goats which she eventually gives to the Heifer organization. (As a complete aside: the real Beatrice, Generic tylenol, who is now 20 years old, eventually became a student in northern Massachusetts. Synthroid Prescription, )

To make this whole life enhancing animal gift giving idea even more accessible, a charitable organization called Project Tembo (Tanzania Education and Micro-Business Opportunity) sells donation greeting cards at one of our local independent book stores. Not long after first reading these two books, our girls were each able to buy a chicken for a Tanzanian family. Talk about mixed media.

Showing both sides of the goat-giving story, and in this order, and exploring the Heifer and Project Tembo websites, I believe, really brings the whole gift giving idea to life.

Links to Beatrices Goat, The Goat Lady, Heifer International and Project Tembo can be found on VIvian's show notes at www.clippodcast.com

For the CLIP podcast, I'm Andrea Ross -- in a closet in Canada.

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

A Celebration of Life _ CLIP 18 Transcript

Intro

Hi, this is show #18 of the Critical Literacy in Practice, CLIP, Podcast.

More and more I’ve been receiving responses from parents and non-school educators regarding various issues and critical literacy practices shared in the show, Discount propecia Without Prescription. I’ve also heard from some of you regarding your own children’s experiences in connection with issues raised in the show. For CLIP 18, I want to sincerely thank Andrea and Mark from Just One More Book and their 7-year old daughter Lucy for being this week’s participants.

A couple of weeks I received an e-mail from Andrea who shared her daughter’s excitement regarding planning a charitable event which she named "The Shakes Festival -- A Celebration of Life". Apparently, she imagined the idea with her friend at school where she created a long and detailed list of scheduled activities making clear her big hopes of raising money for multiple charities. Discount propecia Without Prescription, Andrea wondered what her role ought to be a as a parent commenting that Lucy, often has big ideas like this and although she does ask her about her plans now and then, she doesn’t push her to act on these ideas. She continued “But then they fall away eventually. I think we have the makings of a real force here, I'm just not sure the best way to proceed, Buy cardura C.O.D, lead or follow”.

In response I wrote, I think our roles as parents/caregivers/teachers is to make available to our children/students more powerful discursive practices and ways of being including the kinds of books you read to your girls and the conversations you have about those books. The discussion, the conversation is key...the books alone only go so far. I continued, since, she is actually initiating the planning of the event, and if this is something she is truly passionate about then I would suggest continuing to talk about it and maybe offering her some ways to broach the subject with her teacher who hopefully can support her to do some sort of survey in her class or school to see if there are other kids who are interested in planning such an event, Discount propecia Without Prescription. From there it would be powerful to offer her some tools for taking this social action by sharing with her multi-modal texts such as some of the ones I’ve shared in past shows. I think what she's learning with this kind of activity goes far beyond what any curriculum could offer this is about participating differently in the world which is transformative learning.

A couple of days later, I heard from Mark, who, in the midst of what he referred to as the mad rush to get ready for the school and work day, managed to record Lucy talking about her Shakes Festival idea for all of you to hear. Mark is well known especially in the Canadian Podcasting circle for producing several podcasts, which I will link to in the show-notes. Discount propecia Without Prescription, He said the whole festival is still in its conceptual stages and that according to Lucy, she took the idea to her grade 2 teacher and apparently the entire class is interested in participating. Buy allopurinol C.O.D, Lucy's is hoping to arrange speakers from some charities to come in for the festival.

Audio of Lucy, Mark ,and The Shakes Festival

For now she leaves us with lots to think about in terms of children’s motivations for participation in potentially transformative events like the Shakes Festival. If you listen closely to how she describes this event her motivation for the work becomes clearer. What also becomes clearer is a realization that in order to come up with such a plan that she must be drawing from particular models of previous events or festivals she has come to know. She uses what she knows as tools for shaping her ideas, Discount propecia Without Prescription. Her knowledge of the time and effort it would take to carry out such a plan of events also comes to surface when she talks about assigning roles and responsibilities to others as well as when she lays out a rough timeline for how long this work could take. She further recognizes the need to acknowledged participants for their work and support as she recognizes the need to draw from others if the Shakes Festival is to happen. So I love that this idea is taking shape and moving forward. Hopefully, we’ll hear more from Lucy sometime in the near future.

Thank You To:
Andrea and Mark, of Just One More Book and their daughter Lucy for providing material for this show. Thanks also to Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands, Carol Felderman, Suzanne Whaley, zelnorm Dosage, Jen Wolfe, and Andy Bilodeau for commenting on the show, contacting me regarding the show, pinning my frappr map or participating in the show.
