Tonight I have for you another multi-modal text set which is a combination of print based, music, media, art based texts, amongst other kinds of text, that focus on a particular topic or issue. What I like most about these text sets is that they provide for us opportunities to think about certain issues in multiple ways and often from multiple perspectives. When we read any text, listen to any song, view any piece of art or film, and so forth , we do so from particular ideological positions, we canrsquo;t avoid this because the experiences wersquo;ve had, the discourses or the ways of being, talking, doing that wersquo;ve lived become tools that we use, whether consciously or not when making meaning in the world. So these discourses inform the positions from which we are able to communicate in the world. They also influence the ways in which what we communicate positions others in the world. Text sets therefore better inform our thinking on particular topics or issues because they allow us to read one text against another or to rub one text against another. In tonightrsquo;s episode is Marissa Campos talking about Disrupting Gender Stereotypes.

To Disney or not to Disney, I know is a question many people have struggled over. Herersquo;s what I think. The perspective from which you enter into any event or experience makes a difference in what you come away with. Not going to Disneyland in and of itself is not critical literacy. The critical piece comes through being able to unpack the hidden ideologies that stem from the world of Disney and therefore not buying into those ideologies. The critical also comes through understanding the position from which you enter into readings of Disney and so forth. It comes from the recognition that the language you encounter is not natural or neutral and that it does particular life work. Disney background noisehellip; Andy ndash; Did you hear that? Vivian ndash; What ? Andy ndash; That woman over there with her daughter dressed as Cinderella just said ldquo;Will you hurry uphellip;yoursquo;re not being very princess-likerdquo; Now see what is problematic about what Andy overheard while we were in Disneyland, is the way the woman, caregiver, mother, positioned Disney as an authority on life or the way things should be. Specifically the way girls should be. Disney of course cuts up the world in a particular way. I doubt, however, if staying away from Disneyland would have disrupted that motherrsquo;s problematic representation of what it means to be a girl. So the issue at hand goes beyond to Disney or not to Disney. What do you think? What are some things we can do in schools and at home to disrupt dominant sexist ideologies and discursive practices? Weigh in by leaving a comment on the clip homepage at www.clippodcast.com or by leaving me voice mail at the number listed in the show notes. To wrap up tonightrsquo;s episode, here is Deirdre Flint and Epcot USA. Epcot USA songhellip; That was Deirdre Flint and Epcot USA. I hope that Deirdre and I have given you at least a couple of things to think about from a critical literacy perspective.

My name is Greg McClure and this poemCast attempts to document our classrsquo; transformation from a group of students and a teacher to a community of caring and engaged learners. 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? 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. I constantly tried to facilitate an environment that encouraged sharing individual lived experiences, 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 othersrsquo; perspectives, often questioning our own in the process. Here, it is important to highlight our initial experience of writing and sharing ldquo;I Amrdquo; poems. This simple act of exploring our ldquo;cultural selvesrdquo; 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. It was this initial experience that set the direction for the rest of our course and inspired our decision to develop our ldquo;We Arerdquo; poem and to share it as a poemCast. Realizing the "insider" nature of ldquo;We Arerdquo; 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. Wersquo;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 ...

This is show #52 of the CLIP Podcast! Bumper from Jeff Roney Some of you may have heard that I co-organized a Podcamp with Andy from the AndyCast Podcast. Podcamp EDU held at American University on Dec. 10 focused specifically on intersections between podcasting, new media, and education. It was deliberately a smallish conference of 70 or so people, podcasters and non-podcasters, educators and those interested in education and educational issues. There were some really great sessions and presenters including Andy Carvin from PBS, Joel Witt from Maryland Zoo TV, Steph Stockman. from NASA and Nick Guzman and Rebeca Logan who founded Red Bloguera, home of the first Spanish language podcast. There were so many amazing presenters and participants. Weeks after the event, Andy and I continue to find blog posts, twitter tweets and other online conversations regarding the success of PodcampEDU. Nick Guzman referred to the event as a golden opportunity, Chris Brogan and Whitney Hoffman both blogged about PodcampEDU type venues as the future of podcamp. Thank you to all of you who have kept the buzz going. We look forward to seeing you all again next year. I believe this was the first podcamp with a very specific focus on the ways in which social media technology can be used as tools in educational settings. It was a great opportunity to think about what these technologies can afford teaching and learning and in terms of critical literacy, a great opportunity to think about how social media can be used as tools in our critical literacy work. This podcast, CLIP podcast, is an example of how a social media tool can be used to do critical literacy work. In the case of CLIP, Irsquo;m using podcasting as a tool to make accessible critical literacy issues and demonstrations of critical literacy practice. So social media does not constitute critical literacy but social media has vast potential for furthering critical literacy work. I believe it would be useful for us to think about Lankshear and Knobelrsquo;s distinction between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 They begin by saying that we need not only to think about new technologies but also new ethos, a new way of thinking about and being with new technologies. A Web1.0 Mindset focuses on the question how do I technologize my existing practice? Tools to do this include more traditional websites, Ofoto, or Brittanica Online. A Web2.0 Mindset asks the question what might new technologies afford the work I do? Tools to do this include, podcasting, blogging, flickr and so forth. So, to shift mindsets we need to first consider what technology can afford the particular work we are doing rather than finding ways to technologize our existing classroom practice. At PodcampEDU we had a collection of presenters who created spaces for participants to engage in this shifting of mindsets if they hadnrsquo;t done so already. Andy and I will begin to start releasing audio of the presentations from Podcamp EDU as soon as possible so keep tabs on that.

Thank you for hanging in there and continuing to listen. This show is so long overdue. Lots of family stuff and work related matters to take care of but finallyhellip;here I am. People used to ask me, when I was a classroom teacher of young children, lsquo;how do you do it?rsquo; I never thought much of the question, mostly because I never found teaching to be that hardhellip;that is until I stopped teaching young children full time. Now I ask myself the same question. How did I do it? My answer is the same each time. And no, I didnrsquo;t do it for the love of the children. Donrsquo;t get me wrong, I love working with kids itrsquo;s just that use of the phrase lsquo;for the love of the childrenrsquo; has been a great way of positioning teachers to work long hours without getting paid overtime and spending their own money on classroom materials and professional development that really ought to be provided by school districts. But I digresshellip;enough of that. Back to my answerhellip; I was saying that whenever I ask myself how I did what I did as a teacher of young children my answer is always the same. I surrounded myself with a group of colleagues, not from my own school but other schools in the area, with whom I did my thinking. We worked to support, and encourage one another. Not too long ago I met an incredible group of teachers in Winnipeg Manitoba who also have supported one another through the ups and downs and the ins and outs of teaching. I was fortunate to be able to spend some time with them talking about critical literacy while we enjoyed a lovely dinner and shared some wine at an incredible restaurant in Winnipeg. Conversationhellip; Thanks to Wayne Serebrin, Tracey Douglas, Chris Wigglesworth, Cora Campbell, Denise Murphy, and Tannis Nishibata-Chan whose voices you heard in todayrsquo;s show and whose voices you will be hearing in upcoming shows, one that focuses on creating spaces for families to engage with critical literacies, and another that focuses on popular culture and everyday text . It was absolutely energizing to be in your company. I canrsquo;t wait for us to get together again.

Todayrsquo;s show will feature another quotable quote but before sharing that with you I want to invite you to celebrate my 50th show, which seems to have snuck up on me, by sending in e-mail or audio comments regarding what clip has meant to you. You can reach me at clippodcast@gmail.com or leave a voice mail at 206-984-1778. There is a catch here though because my 50th comes up next week! So if you could send your thoughts by Monday, July 2, Irsquo;ll be in good shape to put those together. Bumper Andy and I recently returned from attending Podcasters Across Borders in Kingston, Ontario. We had an amazing time. Irsquo;m so glad to have become part of an incredibly supportive podcasting community. Irsquo;ll be posting photos on my Flickr page so you can see for yourself what a terrific time we all had. During his presentation, Neil Gorman used the analogy of podcasters as seeking out new frontiers as in the days of Star Trek , the original episode, to boldly go where no-one has gone before. This weekrsquo;s quotable quote fits nicely with this line of thinking. ...the more a literacy practice privileges participation over publishing, distributed expertise over centralized expertise, collective intelligence over individual possessive intelligence, collaboration over individuated authorship, dispersion over scarcity, sharing over ownership, experimentation over "normalization", innovation and evolution over stability and fixity, creative-innovative rule breaking over generic purity and policing, relationship over information broadcast, and so on, the more we should regard it as a "new" literacy. The quote comes from A New Literacies Sampler by Michel Knobel and Colin Lankshear. Stunning and breathtaking are words I would use to describe some of the work Irsquo;ve seen produced by fellow podcasters, and thatrsquo;s no exageration. Thanks to Mark, Bob, Andrea, and Cat and all the other attendees for an amazing weekend. I look forward to seeing you all next year! Keep an eye out for my next show where Irsquo;ll take you to the Canadian Prairies for a conversation with a group of friends who are exploring critical literacies in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Irsquo;ll be releasing a couple of shows back to back this week so keep listening. The other day Kathleen King co-host of Podcast for Teachers with whom I did a session at Podcamp New York sent me an e-mail to touch base, which I very much appreciate, and also to congratulate me on the upcoming 50th episode of CLIP. Irsquo;ll have more for you regarding how you might participate in the 50th show in an upcoming episode. For now, herersquo;s your quotable quote to jump start your day. "Critical literacy, on the other hand, foregrounds the role of language in establishing and maintaining taken-for-granted, business-as-usual. It closely examines the ways in which language practices carve up the world according to certain socially-valued criteria (and not other sets of criteria); draws attention to inequities; and calls for a rethinking of theories considered "natural" or unassailable." This quote is from Critical Cyberliteracies:What Young People can Teach us About Reading and Writing the World by Michele Knobel and Colin Lankshear This was a keynote paper presented at the National Council of English Teachers' Assembly for Research Mid-Winter Conference. New York, February 22-24, 2002. If you have a quote that connects with critical literacy in some way Irsquo;d love to hear from you. You can e-mail your text to clippodcast@gmail.com Or if you are able to call in your quotes that would be even better. Leave a voice mail by calling 206-350-6204 .

Natasha, a student in a course on critical literacy that I taught this past spring had a post on her blog titled "quotes to inspire critical literacy..." She said that she tries to pick quotes that have some reference to education or math, the subject she teaches, or some life lesson. She also invited students to bring in quotes and offer them up for class discussion. Inspired by Natasha's post, I decided to try a new segment on CLIP using Quotable Quotes. Thank you so much to Sonia Nieto for sending the following quote to get this segment started... "To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them."

This show is dedicated to Carol Felderman and the 100%Kids group. On tonightrsquo;s show I focus on critical literacy in a second grade classroom in Virginia. For years, the second grade classes in the school had gone on a trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was an excursion children looked forward to as they left first grade and moved into second grade. In fall 2006 this changed as the second graders were told it was too expensive to go on the trip and that they wouldnrsquo;t be going. Carol Felderman, a very inspiring and passionate teacher, who yoursquo;ve heard from previously on CLIP, had at the time been framing her teaching from a critical literacy perspective so her students were not foreign to problematizing the way things are. As a group they decided to find a way to get the second grade kids to the Baltimore Aquarium. One of the things they first did was to ask for a meeting with the school principal. Encouraged by his openness to their proposals regarding ways to raise funds for the trip, the children moved forward hosting popcorn sales, bingo and pizza nights and so forth. On May 8, 2007, after months of fundraising all the childrenrsquo;s hard work paid off as they boarded a bus to the Baltimore Aquarium. Following is audio from the children talking about their trip. This audio is part of a podcast that Carol, her second graders and I have been releasing since the beginning of the year. The podcast is 100% Kids a show that focuses on kids affecting change in different ways. Have a listen. Irsquo;ll link to the show in the shownotes. Enjoy! Bumper Kids Audio Bumper Congratulations second graders and Carol! Your story is a wonderful example of what it means to engage in literacies that have real world effects. I know how hard you worked , week after week, never giving up , always moving forward thinking of new, exciting and fun ways to be able to accomplish what you wanted. 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, will hale, Stephanie wahome, tamara Johnson, Andrew opie, jen clark, marilyn walker, Vicki otten, kris tilley, vida, don burkins, marian, and of course the 100% Kids Group who provided audio for this show.

Can you imagine! Welcome to show 40. In this show a special thank you to Nathan Havner for his thoughtful and thought-provoking segment on The Sexualization Of Young Girls In The Media. My name is Nathan Havner and I teach first grade in a Washington, DC Public School. In Sundayrsquo;s Doonesbury a man and a woman sit at the breakfast table and read the newspaper. Woman: ldquo;I give up, why do women have such horrible body image issues? When wersquo;re not tarting up ourselves to look younger, we tart up our daughters to look older. Why is there only one feminine ideal? Irsquo;m tired of trying to look like a skinny teenage girl! Itrsquo;s embarrassing! I want to look my age!rdquo; Man: ldquo;Um, Okay, what brought this on?rdquo; Woman: ldquo;Irsquo;m about to eat your doughnut.rdquo; Garry Trudeaursquo;s funny look at self-empowerment points out something that has troubled me for some time. I am scared to death that my daughter is a girl. Not scared as in, ldquo;it will be hard when she starts dating at 16 or wants to drive at 18rdquo; but scared as in right now, two days shy of 20 months. Irsquo;m here with my mom and my friend Chris to talk about an issue in my life and my first grade classroommdash;the sexualization of young girls in the media. When did this fear begin to take hold of me? In the days leading up to my daughterrsquo;s birth I started paying attention to the messages young girls receive every day. At the same time my class read two versions of ldquo;Snow White,rdquo; one, with no author credited except Disney, mirrors the Disney film and tells us how the animals of the forest protected Snow White because of her beauty. Even the traditional version, by the Brothers Grimm, originally called Snow Drop, speaks of the supernatural power Snow Whitersquo;s beauty held on the hunter charged with killing her and the ferocious forest animals. Instead of bringing the wicked queen Snow Whitersquo;s lung and liver to prove he has killed her he brings her those of a boar, which she eats with a touch of salt. Yuck. The other day a teaching assistant was giving a hand to one of my students as she straightened up her locker. She said, ldquo;girls keep neat lockersmdash;make sure your locker is neat,rdquo; in a helpful voice. This got under my skinmdash;why put unfair pressure on half your class to keep tidy lockers? Are you less of a girl if your locker is messy? Would Snow White have been killed if she wasnrsquo;t so pretty? Stacy Weiner of the Washington Post wrote a great article about media portrayals of young girls on February 20th of this year. My mom will share some of the most troubling parts: Mom: Throughout U.S. culture, and particularly in mainstream media, women and girls are depicted in a sexualizing manner," declares the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls. Nathan: Wait, they have a task force? Mom: Looks like they do. Nathan: Well, at least Irsquo;m not the only one thinking about this. Mom: As I was saying, American girls are increasingly being fed a cultural catnip of products and images that promote looking and acting sexy. Sexualization has been linked to "three of the most common mental health problems of girls ...

This a podcast designed for American Universityrsquo;s EDU 623 Critical Literacy course with Dr. Vivian Vasquez. My personal blog, additional resources, information, and links about the class can be found at http://edoomacator.blogspot.com Welcome. In this broadcast, Irsquo;m going to define critical literacy in my own words as it relates to my beliefs, life, and classroom teaching. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the word critical can be defined as ldquo;relating to, or being a turning point or especially important juncturerdquo; or it can be defined as ldquo;indispensable, essential for success, proper functioningrdquo;. Literacy is defined as ldquo;the state of being literaterdquo; where literate is defined as ldquo;versed in literature or creative writingrdquo; or it means ldquo;having knowledge or competencerdquo;. To combine some elements of the dictionary definitions of the two words, I could say that critical literacy means ldquo;having and relating knowledge that is indispensable or essential for success.rdquo; I find this definition very true in meeting my goals of teaching my students to think from a more critical perspective. (MUSIC BREAK) So, what does critical literacy mean to me? Critical literacy means: bull; Reading between the lines of the written word bull; Looking into the colors and images of the painted picture bull; Listening beyond the spoken word bull; Perceiving through the pixels of the TV or computer screen bull; Looking at the world in a different perspective bull; Analyzing yours and others contextualized views bull; Changing your perspective bull; Developing an understanding of perceptions bull; Creating relationships with your world In short, I believe that the goal of critical literacy should be the dictionary definition of ldquo;having and relating knowledge that is indispensable or essential for success.rdquo; My goal as an educator is to provide my students the opportunities and exposure to think about the world around them more critically. I want to create relationships with what is learned and with what they presently face and could face in the future. I want to help develop a critical mind and view that is capable of thinking and relating theyrsquo;re own lives to the world to become successful individuals. I hope I am on the right trackhellip; Thanks for listening. MF EDOOMCATOR signing off.

Can you believe it! Welcome back. Tonight I have a treat for you. When I first started podcasting I did so with the particular intent of sharing what I know about critical literacy and engaging you in sharing with me and other listeners your thoughts, comments, questions, connections, issues and teaching practices with regards to critical literacies in and outside of school. As time went on and more and more of you started commenting and offering suggestions from which I have created shows and as I started to develop some wonderful friendships with others in the podcasting community, I began imagining different ways that podcasting could find a place in the world of parenting, teaching, learning and researching. So, for the next while Irsquo;ll be sharing work Irsquo;ve done with classroom teachers, in the courses I teach as well as in my work with Carol Felderman and her second graders. This is actually where I want to start by sharing with you a podcast created by a group of second graders who call themselves 100% Kids. In this show Irsquo;ll play one of their earlier podcasts and then in a subsequent show Irsquo;ll take you behind the scenes to meet Carol and some of her students so that you can hear first hand about how the show was born. Thanks To: 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; Erin , John Sparrow, Caroline Petrow, Andrea of Just One More Book, Will, Collette, Lara, Charles of Mostly News, Whittney of LD Podcast, Andrew, Bayonle, Chris Brogan, Sue, Sharon Greene, Rachel, Jenn, Kristina, my good friend Brec Cooke.

Here we are with show #34 of the CLIP Podcast. Tonight I have for you a long-awaited interview with Mini Grey author of Traction Man and The Adventures of the Dish and Spoon amongst other books. We did the interview using e-mail so this evening Andrea Ross of Just One More Book very graciously agreed to read Minirsquo;s responses. So thank you very much to Mini for the interview and to Andrea for helping me with tonightrsquo;s show! What I like most about Traction Man and Adventures with Dish and Spoon is the way both texts offer different perspectives on familiar characters such as superheroes and nursery rhyme characters. Traction man is also packed with a number of social issues that create space for taking up notions of gender, war, identity construction, positioning, and so forth. Midtro What are three things you think we should know about you? I have a nearly four month old son called Herbie, a partner called Tony and a cat called Bonzetta who is sitting next to the computer keyboard right now. I live in Oxford and love walking up hills and along rivers. What motivates or inspires you to write books like Traction Man or The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon? I love picture books ndash; with picture books you can use words and pictures as a double act, even tell two different versions of a story at the same time. Because even very young people are expert readers of pictures, you can convey very complex and subtle messages through pictures that yoursquo;d need loads of words to explain. Making a picture book is also a bit like making your own film ndash; and you can make ANYTHING YOU WANT happen, however impossible! In Traction Man the environment is actually very ordinary ndash; so the fun is in inventing all the objects that will be there ndash; or trying to imagine ordinary objects seen from a slightly different angle. For example, when I was trying to work out the underwater world of the Sink, I was trying to imagine a sink that Jacques Cousteau might explore, and what sort of undersea creatures could soggy cornflakes and tomato peel and bacon rind turn into, and how in that environment a dishcloth could become like a lethal giant squid ndash; so itrsquo;s perhaps trying to give ordinary objects a secret life. I think sometimes it is more inspiring to take a quite ordinary situation and introduce one extraordinary thing into it ndash; than it is to imagine a whole amazing world where absolutely anything can happen. I think it can encourage creativity to begin with a few limitations. And itrsquo;s about seeing the analogies between things, using your imagination ndash; how a trainer could be a bit like a spaceship, and kitchen unit could be a bit like a cliff, a bit of lateral thinkinghellip; If you imagine being about 30cm high, just about everything in a house turns into an adventurous environment ndash; a bath becomes an ocean, a shrubbery becomes a jungle ndash; and just imagine if you met the household pet cathellip; The Dish and the Spoon began as a brainstorm of lsquo;all the things that a dish and spoon could do togetherrsquo; and grew quite filmically (...

Thank you so much to Vickie from A Beaded Embrace for customizing the site for me! In This Show: CLIP 31 is short, sweet and fun. Welcome to this special edition of the CLIP Podcast. I had no plans on putting together this show until I received a comment from Julie a second grader from Virginia. So a big hello to Julie and her classmates as well as her teacher Carol! In any case Irsquo;ve been working with Juliersquo;s teacher, Carol on creating spaces for critical literacy in her classroom and one of the tools that wersquo;ve talked about for doing this, is podcasting. Julie and her classmates have had a chance to listen to some podcasts created by children as well as CLIP to help them figure out if podcasting may be of interest to them and today in her e-mail she excitedly shared that in class earlier this week, they chose a name for their show. It will be called 100% Kids. Awesome. I canrsquo;t wait to get started on this project with them. So this show is for you 100%Kids Group! I thought Irsquo;d put out a special show to share with you some possible tools for your podcast site. Video Spell with Flickr Art Room Thank You to Mark, Andrea, Lucy and Bayla for the station id.

You can find the video on the CLIP Podcast site. This one is a video that my husband and I did with our three year old just for fun. I hope it gives you an idea of how you can easily create short videos as one way to show your audience what you are thinking. The second is spell with Flickr which I really like. You can go on the site and create all sorts of words using letters taken from different places. So you can decide on what letters work together and talk about how your audience might react to different combinations of letters. The third is Artroom. Itrsquo;s on the website for a famous gallery in England, the Saatchi Gallery, where kids can make display art online. You could create some artwork for your audit trail or for your podcast site using the Artroom. So there are some ideas for you! Enjoy and Irsquo;ll see you soon.

Today my conversation with Heather focuses on getting these books into the classroom and creating a dialogue regarding the issues raised in the books. Bumper Midtro One of the topics Heather and I talked about had to do with childrenrsquo;s books and educational settings, specifically, the classroom. In this first segment Heather shares insights on why books like The Not So Only Child belong in the classroom. Heather audio In this final segment Heather talks specifically about The Not So Only Child. What I like most about her comments is the perspective on diversity from which she speaks.

This week, Irsquo;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 childrenrsquo;s books done by Andrea and Mark in their favorite coffee shop in Ottawa. As most of you know Just One More book is one of the podcasts on my must listen list. Over the past six months wersquo;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. For today's show what Andrea, Mark, and I have done is deliberately choose the same text, Tudley Didnrsquo;t Know , a picture book by John Himmelman, from which to build an episode on a show we have both released today! 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, 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 ldquo;take agencyrdquo; 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. 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 doesnrsquo;t realize there are things that he probably shouldnrsquo;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. Here is an example of an intertextual perspective. In this stance readers make sense of the text in terms of other texts. 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 t...

Today I have for you part one of a two part conversation with Heather Jopling author of wonderful books on same sex parents and alternative lifestyles, specifically Ryanrsquo;s Mom is Tall, Monickarsquo;s Papa is Tall, and The Not-So-Only Child. Today my conversation with Heather focuses on the story behind the childrenrsquo;s books she has written and issues of access. In the following show wersquo;ll talk about getting these books into the classroom and creating a dialog regarding the issues raised in the books. If you'd like to hear more about Heather's books have a listen at JOMB where Andrea and Mark have a great discussion about The Not-So-Only Child.

As promised here I am with show 27 of the CLIP Podcast. Thank you for coming back to listen to the show. 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 Irsquo;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 Ryanrsquo;s Mom is Tall. Before I get on with this weekrsquo;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. 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! Bumper Audio from Carol Felderman Thank you very much to Carol Felderman for sending that audio. 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, 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. 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 theyrsquo;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 ldquo;Mom, therersquo;s a bad word on this spoonrdquo; (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 ldquo;McDonaldsrdquo;. She says it cracked her u...

This is a quick hello to let you know I was hoping to get a show out tonight but unfortunately teaching an evening class on Monday nights makes it rather challenging to release a show Irsquo;m happy with,so Irsquo;m going to have to change my show nights to Tuesdays at least until the end of April. You can count on a show being released tomorrow night. Thank you to those of you who have stayed subscribed and who have continued to visit the show-notes page. The CLIP audience has continued to grow a very diverse and global audience, which is very exciting.

You are listening to show 25 of the CLIP podcast dedicated to Carol Felderman and her 2nd graders at Baileyrsquo;s Elementary School in Falls Church Virginia. Before I go any further I want to share with you that CLIP has been nominated for the Podcast Peer Awards in the Education category and I want to sincerely thank all of you who voted for me originally but who as a result of some unfortunate circumstances which Irsquo;ll talk about in a subsequent show, actually had to go in and re-cast your votes. Irsquo;m not a big awards person but Irsquo;m very honored to have been nominated and I feel so validated to see you all voting for me. So thank you so much. Tonightrsquo;s show focuses on an instance of learning in a kindergarten classroom where a group of children worked on interrogating, disrupting and analyzing the discourses associated with the McDonaldrsquo;s Happy Meal. Did you know by the way that McDonaldrsquo;s is now podcasting? The series of podcasts is titled ldquo;The McDonaldrsquo;s You Donrsquo;t Knowrdquo;. Itrsquo;s claim is to , and I quote, ldquo;share the real story of McDonald'srdquo;. The one that I viewed called ldquo;Moms and McDonaldrsquo;srdquo; included 10 women from 7 countries who were called upon by McDonaldrsquo;s to form a global momrsquo;s panel which in the videocast is referred to as an international think tank representing the pulse of what momrsquo;s are asking for. Isnrsquo;t that interesting? Hmmhellip;.what do you all think of that? Therersquo;s really not that much of a change. Itrsquo;s still hamburgers and chicken nuggets that are central to the happy meal so letrsquo;s keep an eye on the effect of this international think tank.

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. Tonightrsquo;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 childrenrsquo;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. Irsquo;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. Jim Clohessy station ID Midtro Audio from Andrea Ross 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, 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. 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, 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, 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. 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.

You are listening to show 22 of the CLIP podcast. Tonightrsquo;s show is the final installation of a three part series, which was recorded on the beautiful island of Hawaii, at the International Reading Associationrsquo;s Regional Conference which was held there a few weeks ago. In Todayrsquo;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 havenrsquo;t heard the previous two installations I would urge you to at least listen to Show# 21 prior to listening to tonightrsquo;s show. 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 wersquo;re doing what wersquo;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 , in particular ways along with understanding the position from which we teach. Liana Honda Station ID/ Midtro When this incident took place there werenrsquo;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 Cafeacute; story. Irsquo;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 itrsquo;s about organizing to defend your rights. Another book is Selavi, Thatrsquo;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, Childrenrsquo;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. In March, 2004, however, the station was destroyed in the midst of the incredible unrest in Haiti. An article appeared in yesterdayrsquo;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. Selsted was one of 12 schools earmarked for closure because of falling pup...

You are listening to show 21 of the CLIP podcast. Tonightrsquo;s show is part two of a three part series, which was recorded on the beautiful island of Hawaii, at the International Reading Associationrsquo;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 todayrsquo;s segment you will hear me talking about the second move, which I refer to as Negotiating Spaces for Critical Literacy. Some of you may have heard me share this story in show number 1. 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 lsquo;middle classrsquo;, 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 ndash; 11.15am, M-F. 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. -Observation was an important feature of practice, as it enabled me to build on childrenrsquo;s interests in important and reflective ways. -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. 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 i...

Before going any further I first want to say from the bottom of my heart , mahalo to my Hawaiian colleagues and friends especially Liana Honda, JoAnn Wong-Kam, Anna Sumida, Alice Kimura, Joyce Ahuna-Ka'ai'ai, Meleanna Meyer, Kathy Wurdem, Avis Masuda, and Malia Chong. This show is dedicated to you! I left Hawaii in awe of your passion, and commitment to stand up for the rights of the children with whom you work and the communities in which you live. You are amazing, and you are inspiring and I am thrilled to have, together with you, created a space for us to carry on the much needed conversations that we started. Todayrsquo;s show is part one of a three part series of my presentation at the Regional Conference in Hawaii. I decided to do this in three parts for ease of downloading as well as to give you a bit of breather between sections. This also makes it possible for me to add some editorial bits. In a nutshell, I focused my talk on particular critical moves in my life as a literacy educator. In todayrsquo;s segment you will hear me talking about the first move, which I refer to as Kid-watching a term popularized, I believe by Yetta Goodman. Reggie Vasquez station ID and Midtro From Kid-watching To Podcasting: Negotiating Critical Literacies in School Settings My plan for today is to create an opportunity for you to think about critical literacy as it is talked about and practiced in different spaces and places. To do this Irsquo;ve organized my talk using what I consider to be critical moves in my life as a literacy educator. By critical moves, I mean those moments in time that represent particular shifts in my teaching or practice. The three moves in particular that I will use to guide my talk are kid-watching, negotiating, and Podcasting. In particular I will share two stories of life in a classroom and a podcast that represent for me the critical moves I mentioned earlier. Kid-watching as a Critical Move The first story took place, in fall 1986, when I was assigned, my first group of students, a grade one class of 29 children. That was when I met six-year-old Kevin. Little did I know how Kevin would impact my life as an educator. Why? Because of an incident ,that happened in the classroom that became for me a critical moment....

CLIP 19 is coming to you from the beautiful island of Hawaii. Thank you so much to Liana Honda for inviting me as a featured speaker at the International Reading Associationrsquo;s Regional Conference being held here for the next few days. Intro Today I thought I would focus on critical literacy and everyday text and Irsquo;d like to dedicate the show to my friends at Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. I had a fantastic weekend talking with them about critical literacy and podcasting. I especially want to thank Denny Taylor for inviting me to work with her and her colleagues who have constructed such a caring and passionate community of scholars. And of course many more thanks are to follow later in the show so keep listening. I also want to share some news with you. The CLIP podcast was selected by Charles Cadenhead of Mostly News and Desperate Husbands Podcast as the Pick of the Day for Tuesday, November 14 on the Podcast Pickle, a very popular podcast directory. Thank you Charles for the honor! Liana Honda Station ID Midtro When I use the term everyday texts I am referring to texts that are spoken or written, sung, drawn, painted and so forthhellip; as part of everyday life. These texts can be so common that we do not carefully take notice of them. As a result we can be less aware of the kinds of messages about our world ,which they convey. Since these texts are not natural representations of the world they can be interrogated, deconstructed, and analyzed to uncover different views of the world they could represent. In doing so we are able to make visible the lifestyles and social identities that are constructed through what is presented and how it is presented creating space for the redesign of such texts. The everyday text I will focus on is the Fruity Peel-Outs box, which are candy fruit snacks for children. Sheets of sweet, sticky, pliable candy come rolled up in individual packages ready for childrenrsquo;s consumption. The work I will describe was done with a group of pre-school children between the ages of 3 and 5 when one of the children in the group brought a box of Fruity Peel Outs to school. This of course brought immediate interest to others in the group as they began calling out things they noticed on it. Capitalizing on this interest and re-calling the work done by Comber and Simpson (1995) on analyzing cereal boxes I asked them to pass the box around and had each child name one thing on it that they noticed. While they did this I kept a list of all the items they mentioned. Andre started. ldquo;I spy with my little eye Mickey Mouse!rdquo; Rola followed, ldquo;I spy with my little eye some fruit!rdquo;. They continued in this fashion integrating on...

More and more Irsquo;ve been receiving responses from parents and non-school educators regarding various issues and critical literacy practices shared in the show. Irsquo;ve also heard from some of you regarding your own childrenrsquo;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 weekrsquo;s participants. Jen Wolfe station ID Midtro A couple of weeks I received an e-mail from Andrea who shared her daughterrsquo;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. 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 doesnrsquo;t push her to act on these ideas. She continued ldquo;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, lead or followrdquo;. 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. 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 Irsquo;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. 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 e...

This certainly is the case for todayrsquo;s show so I want to thank Karen for sending the e-mail that resulted in this episode. Charles from Mostly News and Desperate Husbands : Station ID Midtro Body Image and the Media In her e-mail Karen wrote, ldquo;I just finished listening to Clip 7 and it really hit home with merdquo;. Clip 7 focused on the media and the construction of stereotypes. She then referred to a nine year old female relative who she described as obsessed with images such as Paris Hilton, and so forth, and their body sizes, they way they dress etc. She continued, ldquo;The television shows she watches and the websites she visits, all contain skinny blond girls with big breasts, and wearing skimpy clothes and make up, making out with cute boys.... The scary thing is, these shows and sites are marketed and meant for girls her age! This disturbs me. How can I help her to foster self esteem and realize, that MOST girls/women do not look like this, nor will they ever, without crossing into territory that her parents should really be dealing with? I don't want to overstep my bounds, but I am concerned about all of this media bombardment. She is already concerned about breast size etc., Her parents don't seem to want to deal with this and when I've mentioned it to them, they just laugh and roll their eyes and think she's a typical "girlie girl". In response I wrote, I know what you mean about some young girls' obsession with celebrities like Paris Hilton etc. It's another form of hero worship. Itrsquo;s also a demonstration of lsquo;fandomrsquo; a sub-cultural social network of fans interested in the same celebrity for instance. I continud, There are some books out there. I'm thinking here of books like the following which focus on strong female characters. McCully, Emily Arnold. The Bobbin Girl. New York: Dial, 1996. McCully, Emily Arnold. Mirette and Bellini Cross Niagara Falls. New York: Putnam, 2000. Rodriguez, Luis J. America Is her Name. Ilus. By Carlos Vasquez. Willimantic, CT: Curbstone, 1996. Fitzgerald, Dawn. Getting in the Game. Roaring Brook Press, 2005. Sills, Leslie. From Rags to Riches: A History of Girls' Clothing in America . Holiday House, 2005. This last book is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of girls' clothing in America , this overview shows how clothing is closely tied to cultural expectations and gender roles. Probably the most effective way to offer your nine-year-old relative an alternate perspective is by doing what Sarah suggests in show 7 which is to capitalize on moments when she may say or do something that shows she is buying into the dominant stereotypes of girl/f...

I'm going to play around with the order of things today so rather than doing acknowledgements and thank you's up front I'll wait till later and jump right into the show. Let me know what you think of this format. Before I get going though I want to extend a big hello to member of the Toronto Reading Council and folks from OISE with whom I had a wonderful time talking about critical literacy this past weekend. Today, I pick up on last week's show and the topic of taking action to change things that are problematic in our communities and beyond. I couldn't get the voices of the children from Selsted Primary out of my head and so spent a number of days imagining what other texts might work nicely with the Save Our School song. So, what I have done is to put together a multi-media text set of children's books and audio that focus on acts of courage and acts of kindness. I really do believe that in combination, the texts I will share work very well together to enrich and inform discussions and work on the issue of taking action to change inequitable ways of being. Station ID ndash; Patrick and Catalina Midtro Already, you know one piece I would include in today's multi-modal text set is the Save Our School song which as I mentioned is a terrific demonstration of the power of music to shape political and social experiencel. So imagine, then combining this song with a book 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. Another book that would be a powerful addition would be 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 itrsquo;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 wit...

Now given that so much of my focus on this show has been on issues of social justice and equity you can imagine how intrigued I was with the title of the song. So I downloaded it and to my surprise and delight, through my speakers came the voices of children singing. Wow ndash; I decided then and there to put aside the show I was currently working on and instead focus this show, #15, on the children and their song. But first I want to thank Jeff Wood, Shannon Blaney, Wayne Serebrin, Yvonne Siu Runyan and Celia Oyler, for commenting on the show, contacting me regarding the show, or pinning my frappr map. And I also want to thank Allyn Kurin for the station id. Finally, congratulations to Jeff Wood and Wayne Serebrin for being the first two to respond to the Book giveaway. Jeff and Wayne, a copy of Getting Beyond I like the Book is on its way to you! Station id ndash; Allyn Kurin The setting is a small rural community in South-East Kent, where several generations of some local families have attended Selsted Primary School. The school has a student body of approximately 70 Reception or Kindergarten to Year 6 or Sixth Grade students. Early in the summer of 2006, Selsted became one of 12 schools earmarked for closure because of falling pupil numbers in the county. In response The Save Selsted Action Group was formed. As one form of action, a song was written to protest the proposed closure. With lyrics like "Don't close our school, it's been here for many years, my mum and dad both came here too, its closure will mean tears." the children, their parents, teachers and with the help of Steve Howard who produced the song, were able to use music to take stand and send their message out into the world. Not only did Steve act as producer, he also created an indiestore account with 7 Digital to showcase the song where it was and still is available for download for a mere 99p. Hearing of the Selsted plight, Jersey Todd from the Jersey Toddshow in the US, quickly contacted other podcasters, including Adam Curry, the US Podfather and soon Save Our School was being downloaded across the nation and around the world through 7 Digital and the Podsafe Music Network in the US. A recent blog entry from the school reads "To all the podcasters around the world that have taken our small rural school around the world - thanks." They of course also thanked over and over again all of the folks around the globe who helped in some way. When you hear this song, you too will understand what made people want to reach out and help the children of Selsted School. Here now is Save Our School.

Show #9 Transcript How's it going? Itrsquo;s good to have you back on Show #9 of the clip Podcast. As always I'd like to start off by acknowledging those of you who have commented on the show or contributed to the show. Thank you to Kathleen Fay and Kevan Miller in particular for their support and for contributing station IDs which I will air in the next couple of shows and the Baileyrsquo;s Critical Literacy Study Group for contributing to a future show. I also want to say hello to Carolyn Burke in Bloomington Indiana who recently had double knee replacement surgeryhellip;I'm thinking of you Carolyn. Finally, belated birthday greetings to Andrea of the Just One More Book Podcast as well as her daughter Lucy. Happy Birthday by craymo Today I'd like to focus on a new show being released by the folks at Disney in the next couple of weekshellip;Handy Manny. Station ID Midtro Music Bumper Have you heard of Handy Manny? Gary Marsh, President, of Disney Channel Worldwide states "Handy Manny is an exciting addition to our preschool programming line-up, offering an authentic multicultural perspective, humor, and valuable messages about friendship, community and working together,". "Led by Wilmer Valderrama , Fez on that 70rsquo;s show, it is rich with creativity, heart and intelligence. Preschoolers, parents and caregivers the world over are sure to embrace this unique new series." Disney claims that "Handy Manny" is designed to infuse preschool viewers with the confidence to take on challenges and try to work them out, most notably interpersonal relationships. Playful and filled with humor and quirky, relatable characters, the episodes reinforce core early-learning concepts while also emphasizing pro-social and emotional themes including getting along with friends and family, helping others, and trying one's best. Disney further claims that, "Handy Manny" teaches preschoolers simple Spanish words and phrases by putting them into a real-world context - such as Manny saying "abuelito" when referring to his grandfather. In addition, the series introduces everyday aspects of Latino culture, including certain holidays and the importance of family. "Handy Manny" will also resonate with young Latino viewers, thanks to its authentic portrayal of culturally-relevant characters and customs. Now, of course I'm really hoping that this show is able to do all that Disney claims it is capable of doinghellip;time will tell. So let's keep tabs on the show and see how it unfolds. From what I've Googled in each episode someone contacts Manny the Handyman to do some repair work at which time Manny formulates a plan of action and gets to work. While doing this work he apparently relies heavily on his helpers, a bunch of talking tools. There is Pat a bumbling Hammer, Turner a grumpy screwdriver, Felipe an ambitious screwdriver, Dusty who plays the role of the maternal Saw, Stretch a perfectionist tape measure. Then there is Rusty a fearful Wrench, and Squeeze, a curious pair of pliers. If you or your kids or kids you know happen to watch the show, here are some things I'm wondering about that may offer you a perspective on viewing the show. Th...
