In the last week, I’ve connected to teachers over v/c in Kansas, Texas and Michigan to talk about the Racial Dialog videoconference series produced by CSD and A World of Difference.I’ve shared with teachers our 5 part series on racism, stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice. Bringing together high school students from different demographic areas (urban, suburban, rural) for a facilitated conversation really brings out interesting thoughts and ideas. Last year, we had a school from New Jersey join 3 St. Louis area schools in the dialogs, adding a new layer of discussion.We’re still hammering out the dates for the 2007-2008 school year, but if you are interested in having your students participate, contact the VLC.

New videoconference programs are coming from these two content providers- we’re excited to add different material to New Links to New Learning.
You can check out Dan and Bill’s respective websites by clicking on their names. I’m also talking with an author/speaker from South Carolina about doing programs over videoconference on writing. Check back to our website often to see the new videoconferences!
