Re: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years

While I understand the increasing desire to hear "other voices" in the 34
since I was a high school kid in NJ, and had to deal with the two-year US
History requirement, there is something to be said for spending a lot of
time learning about "your own family" before you learn about the people down
the street or across town (more on that later). And as for the person who
wondered what on earth you needed two years to do this in when college
students could do it in one semester, my answer is very simple: You need two
years to do this in a leisurely high school manner with lots of high school
type projects, trips, and diversions. If the goal is to pack as much
American History into as little time as possible, then just give them an
iPod packed with a month's worth of stuff. It'll be crammed in one ear and
pushed out the other in no time. Two years seems just right to me for
planting the broad foundation needed to successfully tackle those
one-semester college courses. It also seems just the right thing for
beginning a possible lifelong love of history - US or otherwise.

Come on folks, we're talking from 1620 to the present day. That's almost 500
years of history that you say we can condense down to one semester. I doubt
it. I suspect that those one-semester college wonders are looking at a
specific issue or a specific era. Not the entire 500 year ball of wax.

Now, let me talk about "the family." I've come to conclude that where the
history of your country is concerned, or at least where American history is
concerned, it's like genealogy. It's all about *us*. It's all about how we
got to be us. It's all about how the different threads got woven together,
sometimes artfully and sometimes not, to create the tapestry that is this
country. In the end it's about how people in the past got together, for
better or worse, to create the people we are now. And that might just take
two years.

Yeah, other voices are nice too. I represent one of those other voices; but
I don't think that the desire to acknowledge the "other voices" should mean
that less time is spent on the whole choir. Indeed, I believe that if we're
really looking at this genealogically, we have to talk about each of those
other voices as they enter the picture, and see how they influenced the
mainstream, and how mainstream decisions toward those voices led to certain
events and situations later on that everyone would regret. But don't draw
them out as separate items. Not in high school. That's not the place for
such specialization as "African-Americans in US History," "Irish in US
History," "Native Americans in US History," or "Germans in US History." And
yet, how much though has anyone really given to the Germans in US history.
I'm betting that most of you are thinking, "Germans, Scots, Brits, just
another subset of the dominant white people." But perhaps a closer look will
show that it ain't necessarily so.

My wife, who is of German ancestry said that when she wanted to find out
more about Germans in US history, she had to go to the library herself.
There was no German History Month, there was no bulletin board devoted to
famous Germans, there was no "Other Voices" class devoted to the Germans.
And certainly, no one talked about the anti-German propaganda during both
world wars, or the fact that Germans had been sent to "relocation camps"
just like the Japanese. I'm sure that my Italian brother-in-law will say the
same thing about having to find out about famous Italians as a group on his
own time.

I say let the "other voices" be part of a two-year course on US history that
looks at the entire choir.

I wondered that too. It seems that a two year lock in to one course with t=
he same students loses some opportunity for other perspectives and other fo=

This is the first that I had heard of this so I thought I would

Re: QUERY: database integration consultant?

Hi, Peter

Denise Musselwhite did several presentations at last year's NAIS
annual conference about her work in this area. She also said she was
available for consulting. I don't have her contact details, but she
works at Trinity Preparatory School.

I've been working on similar questions for about 18 months. Email me
if you want to do a Skype conversation about some common threads we've
found.

A Long-Range Document

For the fourth time in my career, I worked on the launch of a new
school website this week:

http://www.asl.org

I looked back at some of my previous sites, and I had a thought. It's
not uncommon for these sites to have 1500 visitors and 10,000 page
views a day, day after day, for five to seven years before the next
renewal. This new site is already pumping out alerts and
subscriptions and calendar feeds to users.

It crossed my mind that we can put a lot of effort into a play or
speakers series event, but it is over in a few nights. Same for a
monthly newsletter=96 read for a few days and then tossed. Same for a
graduation=96 big event, good memories, over in a day.

A web page is used and used and used. It's also a living document=96 we
have literally made tens of thousands of little changes in just three
days after it's launch, and we have tens of thousands to go before I
can rest about it's launch. There is no other school document that
clearly compares to it=96 a view book may be done every five years, but
it doesn't change and it isn't viewed every day by so many different
people.

Anyway, this is all about the long haul. A friend on this list once
told me that all technology decisions should be based on what is in
the long-term interests of the school. That is what a web page is
about. It's not about a big one night event that's over the next day.
It's a long-range investment, needing lots of care and feeding, but it
serves the school 24=D77, day in and day out.

Re: AP US History Taught Over 2 Years

What has worked here is an American History required course taught to tenth=
graders, and then the AP history for eleventh grader/ twelfth graders as a=
choice, and taught at a more in depth level. Two years of a required cour=
se in US History (at AP level or any level) would take up one half of the h=
istory options in high school, in an age when other histories and other voi=
ces in history are so much needed.

Re: lower school laptops

Hi,

We have our Lower School student use the MacBooks. They have been wonderfu=
l
because students are able to create podcast, movies, and music on the
laptops. They are able to combined all forms of media and use it as a
presentation materials to talk about their subject.

If you mix the MacBooks with JAMF Casper Suite (Mac management), you will
have a sweet time getting everything ready by the summer. We just started
to use JAMF Casper this past summer, and it helped our school deploy Macs
quicker and easier.

A few things to think about:
- Laptop carts does not negate the need for a computer lab. It just change=
s
the nature how we use it.
- Security policy for laptops. Who can borrow, where they can go, who is
responsible, where to store the cart, etc.
- Our Apple reps gives free workshops to our teachers on how to use the Mac=
s
in education. Free onsite tutorial on iMovie, Garageband, etc.

If you like to talk to one of our lower school teachers, I can hook you up
with one. Let me know.

Subject: lower school laptops

Good morning everyone,

Next year, we are eliminating our lower school computer lab and are moving
toward a laptop cart for each grade (1-5). We currently are in the process
of getting hardware and software quotes as well as working with our teachers
to get lessons mapped out that tie into our curriculum.

To help answer some questions that we have, we're looking for any schools
which already use laptops in their lower school who would be willing to talk
to me and our lower school computer teacher/integrator about what works and
what doesn't work in this environment. I know that all schools are different
and what works in one might not work in another, but I'm trying to get our
LS comp teacher as much information as possible to help easy any worries
and/or concerns.

Thanks for your time

Re: lower school laptops

Hi Phil---

We are K-5 on this campus and have both--- a computer lab and carts of
laptops.

Kids come to the lab for skill instruction which is taught in conjunction
with a project that connects to a classroom unit of instruction.

This requires a thorough knowledge of all the curriculum as the ideas for
the projects are generally still suggested/created by me.

Teachers (K-4) also use the lab with their classes as we have allocated
"extra" computer time in our schedule and theirs for them to come to the
lab.

Carts are available anytime for anyone and are loaded with the main
applications used in the lab.

Their frequency of use is generally predicated on the tech comfort
level/knowledge of the classroom teacher and the amount of time the laptops
can be used (ie a classroom teacher generally has a larger block of time to
do set-up etc. than a departmentalized class).

I'm happy to talk with you about what you are planning and answer any
questions.=20

Hello Everyone,

We have a small but growing high school and are considering adding an
administrative division head position. We are busy working on a
description of job requirements and responsibilities. While we are very
aware that each school's needs are different it also would make sense to
consider the experience and thoughts of those of you who have already gone
through the process. If any of you would be willing to share your HS

grateful.

Campus Manager, Aruba and Windows Pre-Login

We recently installed an Aruba managed wireless system and we're having
issues.

Ideally we'd like to have our sets of lab cart laptops be able to
connect to the wireless network and have our students log onto our
Windows domain and get all their resources - whether they've logged
onto that laptop before or not. (We have several Lenovo laptops
models)

Is anyone using CM/Aruba/Windows and having success with this? If so,
please let me know what things you've done to make things work
together, the things we should look out for. Any recommendations for
a consulting firm that has experience with CM and Aruba would be
greatly appreciated too. We're just south of Boston.

Thanks,

Kendall

Re: Question: istopmotion

I have never used iStopMotin, but am wondering how it is any different
from using iMovie. I have done stop motion animation many times with
iMovie and it is even easier now since iPhoto and the integration
across media. This is also a very goo use of iMovie 8, if you dumb
sequenced photos into the footagr. Add a title, narrate and your
done!. You can even create really great silent movies.

Re: Question: istopmotion

We have used it for about a year. The software was part of a package of
software that we purchased from MacWorld offers last year (Jan '08) and
have upgraded to the newer version since then. For claymation type videos
on a Mac we haven't found a better program. We got the upgrade through
the publisher and they do have educational pricing.

Re: ISED: Shopping for Professional Development tracking s/w

Hi Aeronia et al,

Glad this was helpful. No, I don't know of any NAIS schools using PD-Tracke=
r, but I bet if you asked the guy, he'd provide references. Here's the ning=
link again: http://tinyurl.com/5o4uvy. At $125/year (and a 60 day free tri=
al) it seems very reasonably priced for individual schools, but I'm all for=
the power of consortium purchasing and consortium collaboration. I don't t=
hink this software includes tools for collaboration, but it would be intere=
sting to see if social networking technology (both within individual school=
s and between schools) could contribute to creating enthusiasm for professi=
onal development events. Perhaps the software developer could consider this=
.

I like the way ning shows what events are upcoming, and who is going: http=
://isenet.ning.com/events/event/listUpcoming. You can also message attendee=
s and comment on event pages, but can't yet rate events. I'd love to see th=
is kind of functionality in PD Tracker.=20
Btw, the SLA EDUcon 2.0 event virtual sessions this past weekend were pheno=
menal. I think some of them may be archived. It's this type of e

Regarding consortium purchasing, I continue to think there is opportunity f=
or our schools, especially with big ticket items like computers, site licen=
sing for software, and expensive guest speakers. It seems like there would =
be benefit from putting our purchasing power together on this. In the past =
when we've discussed it, it seems like purchasing cycles and individual sch=
ools' requirements have been stumbling blocks, but perhaps in these leaner =
economic times there would be renewed energy to explore possibilities.

Thanks,
Demetri

What means do some independent schools use to enroll in and/or track
professional development courses? My former public school district used
"MyLearningPlan", but the district was huge. I need something for an
individual campus. Any suggestions? Thx.
