neighboring|towns By Heather Clark

Former ITP Grant Partner Heather Theresa Clark along with collaborator Pauline Jennings, have a new exhibit on display at Hamilton Gallery in Washington DC: n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s. It is an immersive four-channel video and sound installation about borders, restriction of movement, and family/community life.  Its subject is Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, two rural towns that are divided by the US/Canadian border.   This small community has recently become better known, because immigrants affected by the US travel ban are reuniting with family members at its library.   The library, uniquely situated in both the US and Canada, is one of the few places on the continent where those living in the US with visas that do not allow return-entry, can reunite with family members who are not allowed to enter the US, because they are citizens of countries on the US travel ban list.  Learn more here.

FETC 2019: The Right Stuff for the Future of Education
UNPACKING EDTECH | by Mark Gura
Planet Protector Academy
I have to confess, I’m a sucker for this type of thing. Having been a kid myself once and having been a middle school teacher for two decades, I know that some approaches simply grab kids by their heartstrings and stir them up in the best possible way. Planet Protector Academy, a social activism oriented animated series, engages students to become part of a team of super heroes who take responsible, down to Earth action to improve the environment. Yes, there’s Environmental Science, English Language skills, and Social Studies themes to learn, too. » Read More
