Upcoming web seminar


Please make plans to attend the upcoming web seminar presented by Dr. Candace Kuby, on Sunday, April 1, 7:00 p.m./EST-USA: Her talk, “Tensions from Analyzing Children’s Images of Racial Bus Segration: Searching for Tools” is a part of Global Conversations in Literacy Research (GCLR) 2011-2012 series of free web seminars (http://globalconversationsinliteracy.wordpress.com). On the night of Dr. Kuby’s web seminar, paste this URL into your browser within 60 minutes of its start:

Dr. Kuby is an assistant professor of early childhood education at the University of Missouri, Columbia, USA, with scholarly interests focused on early literacy, critical inquiry and multimodal literacies. Situated in data collected from a teacher/research study with 5 and 6 year-old children in a summer enrichment program in the South, this seminar addresses the tensions of analyzing multimodal images.  The focus of the web seminar is not so much the empirical study of the images, but reflectively on the tensions of analysis. 

All web seminars are free of charge, and certainly offer opportunity to engage in interesting conversations.

A Peek Into My New Building/Office

My classroom in the new School of Education I am so lucky! This week, the fall semester started at The College of William & Mary and the first group of students entered a brand new School of Education ! The picture above is of the classroom in which I am teaching. It is so beautiful. There is so much light and space and everything is new. Including the technology. The picture to the right is the podium from which I can choose to use the computer, document camera, VCR, or television, all at the touch of a button. Let me tell you, it is a wondrous thing, especially when I have had access to none of it in the old building (and when you teach on a campus that is over 300 years old , "old" takes on a new meaning:-).

And, I did get most of my picturebooks shelved.  But, as I said, I still have a lot of work to do! O

I remember that the talk about the first book really didn't get started until the second book was out. I bought the first book in paperback at the airport and started reading it on the way home from a trip. I was hooked and couldn't wait for the second book. By the time the third book came out, the midnight release parties started at bookstores across the country. The news carried footage of the unexpected long lines of children and adults waitin g in line to buy the book. My family was getting ready to move and there were boxes all over the house. So, I was sitting in the floor as I watched the television and tears started running down my cheeks when I saw the lines. Not in my lifetime had I ever seen anything like it. Children actually waiting in line for hours, dressed up as their favorite character, to buy a book . This is a reading teacher's dream!!! My son w
