Last year the event reached 15 million students in 170 countries during the five day event. The success of the event showed the openness of young people to explore computer science and coding, especially through fun and engaging tutorials that encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and spark creativity.
The week-long event encourages teachers to host an hour of code and offer their students a series of age appropriate tutorials that allows them to work at their own pace and skill-level. Some of the tutorials feature Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies, and Elsa and Anna from Disney's Frozen. For students who need a bigger challenge there are also activities teaching JavaScript or Python. There are even tutorials for those who do not have access to computers. There is no experience necessary on either the teacher or the student's part. It's an introduction that is meant to excite, encourage, and empower students to learn to code and encourage educators to embed similar activities into their curriculum, and ultimately to implement computer science (CS) classes at all grade levels.
Throughout Los Angeles over 350 schools are hosting a one-hour activity, a school-wide event, or a special community event. Students at Foshay Technology Academy in South Los Angeles will not only participate in the Hour of Code, but some 10th graders will also work with parents as part of a special Hour of Code activity. This is a similar event to what they did last year with community members. This type of activity creates a bridge between the students and their parents, raising awareness of the importance of the student's work, and the support necessary to create a community of learners. Lead teacher, Leslie Aaronson has developed a program at the Foshay Technology Academy rich in opportunities to empower students to think critically, take initiative, and use their skills to make a positive impact in their community. You can read more about Foshay Tech and their students in the Departures Open Classroom column.
The ease and proliferation of computers, tablets and smart phones hides the fact that fewer schools teach CS than 10 years ago. With only half of the fifty states counting CS as a science or math graduation requirement, there is small incentive to create more CS programs. This creates a vicious cycle for the student populations most in need of an early introduction to CS -- girls and students of color. By not having this learning opportunity at such a critical time in their education, marginalized communities continue to lag behind in the CS fields. This at a time when computer science is the top earning college degree, and there is a growing need for computer programmers. Leaders in government, technology, business and education have voiced the need for 21st-century students to have an opportunity to learn computer science to be competitive in the global economy. Even basic CS knowledge helps nurture creativity and problem-solving skills, and prepares students for any future career.
There's still time to get involved in the Hour of Code. To learn more and find the locations of events this week click here. If your children's school is not participating in the Hour of Code, parents can still have their kids do the user friendly tutorials available on-line. They can even try them out themselves. For those interested, but looking for more guidance, Apple Stores are also offering Hour of Code sessions . We are all learners, and the language of the 21st century is code.

On October 11, 2014, residents, youth, and community stakeholders, including nonprofit organizations, systems leaders and policy makers from across California gathered at the Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Annual Convening to celebrate The Power of Our Stories, an art, video, and live performance festival that featured more than 40 works from across the state. This year, the gathering focused on artistic and cultural stories of community change efforts. Arts and culture are cherished because they illuminate our inner lives and enrich our emotional world. They also have impact on our social well-being and cohesion, our physical and mental health, our education system, and our economy.
How has the power of stories and storytelling impacted your life and that of your community?

Each of the five weeks of the camp offered the young participants an opportunity to explore different technology and skills to create something based on the topic. Jazmin Alvarenga stood next to a computer connected to a MaKey MaKey board that she had devised during the "creating with computers" week. The external board allowed Jazmin to develop a unique and fun set of controls for a video game she had also programmed. Next to her, Jisel Burgos and Kimberly Hernandez were demonstrating how they used the MaKey MaKey board to create a cardboard keyboard attached to a computer. When a key was touched it played a different song that the two girls had programmed. Both Jazmin and Kimberly had taken part in the DIY Girls afterschool program at Telfair Elementary. The summer camp gave them an opportunity to apply what they had learned during the school year and extend their knowledge through the exploration and creation of several projects during the camp.
This approach of retaining students and providing new and rich opportunities to create is key to how DIY Girls operates. Nurturing the girls interests in science, technology, engineering, and math through a series of activities that are fun, and offer new skills for the girls to apply. As the girls progress through the program their foundational knowledge and confidence grows. Ideally, this will foster a new crop of young women eager to study and go into the fields of science, engineering and technology.
This was certainly evident at the table that featured work from the "inventing with recycled electronics" week. Vanessa and Doris Acuna, Liliana Ramos, and Eileen Alfonso all talked about wanting to continue with DIY Girls to make more things and learn about technology. During this week the girls took apart various electronics to see what was inside, learn about the individual components, and investigate how they worked. Afterwards they were able to make completely new things from all the individual parts, in the end creating an entire town.
Reyna Marquez was at the next table putting on gloves and pressing them together. Her daughter Eileen had sewed a Hello Kitty face on a pair of gloves, and fixed an LED light under the kitty's face that lights up when the gloves touched. The harsh morning sun didn't allow Reyna to see the light but that didn't minimize her excitement and pride in seeing her daughter's project. Eileen's dad, David Lara, recounted that ever since Eileen has been participating in DIY Girls, "she is the go to person when any electronic device is not working at home. She's the one who will try to figure it out and fix it." DIY Girls is a family affair for them, with their eldest daughter Diana Bocanegra an Afterschool Program Fellow at Telfair Elementary.
Nearby David Avitia spoke to his daughter Christiana about the paper circuits created by the girls during the fourth week of the camp. David works at an aerospace engineering firm and is happy with his daughter's growing interest in engineering. "This has given us new things to talk about. We can communicate about what she's done at the camp, and I can show her different tools she can use. It's great." Luz Rivas has seen this with some of the other participants. "It can be tough for some fathers to relate to their preteen daughters, but now the dads have something they can talk to their daughters about and help them with." The girls and their dads are able to communicate in a shared language of making, repairing, and curiosity on how things work.
In addition to highlighting the work of the participants, the event served as a place where the community and sponsors could recognize the work of DIY Girls. Representatives from Congressman Tony Cárdenas office, Councilman Felipe Fuentes, and LAUSD Boardmember Mónica Ratliff attended the event and took part in an awards ceremony that saw both the organization and young participants come out winners. Event sponsor Time Warner Cable donated $7,500 dollars to DIY Girls and three Apple Mini iPads as part of their Connect A Million Minds campaign. The iPads were awarded to Vanessa Acuna, Kimberly Hernandez, and Jisel Burgos for their projects.
DIY Girls is continuing its programs in school and after school programs at Telfair Elementary School and Vaughn Next Century Learning Center, as well as its programs for women throughout the year.

Over the past academic year the Los Angeles River School students took on a variety of community causes as part of their participation with Departures Youth Voices and the Northeast Los Angeles Riverfront Collaborative. Their causes included transforming San Fernando Road, saving a historic bridge, revitalizing the L.A. River, and re-imagining vacant lots in their neighborhoods.
The students formed teams and worked together to identify issues of importance to them and their community, and plan their investigations. In five months they wrote articles, interviewed community residents and experts, conducted community outreach and compiled their evidence to present and advocate for their cause to the public. It was wonderful to see the students take a direct role in shaping civic policies that impact them and their families lives.
The students brought a unique perspective to the NELA RC's project. As young residents of the five Northeast neighborhoods surrounding the Los Angeles River, they interacted with the community on a daily basis: walking or biking to school, work and home, and utilizing public transportation, parks and local businesses. They contributed these particular experiences and skills to the project's objective of re-imaging the L.A. River and the adjacent neighborhoods. Through this process of integrating their personal experiences, research, and action, many of the participants gained confidence and new tools for working on civic issues, including meaningful ways to interact with the community as well as develop their personal and professional leadership skills.
Recently the NELA RC held its final open house at the RAC Design Build Studio in Elysian Valley. It was a community event where the public could learn about the findings collected in the final report or Vision Plan being presented by members of the collaborative. Part of the presentation included the announcement of the winners of the NELA Placemaking Design competition. Two teams from the Los Angeles River School were on hand; Sizzle Sizzle Uh Uh was present to receive their award for winning the Glassell Park design and The Lot Busters for receiving honorable mention for their Cypress Park design. Both teams focused on re-interpreting vacant lots in their neighborhoods into vital community assets.
The Los Angeles River School and all the students who participated have been indispensable partners in this ongoing endeavor to re-imagine the Los Angeles River. Their knowledge, hard work, and commitment to their communities imbued the project with a sincere authenticity.
The Youth Voices "cause"-based curriculum was designed to offer students an opportunity to engage with their communities and become advocates for positive and inclusive change. The students use digital media to bring their experiences and desires for their community to a broader audience. As youth help define the key issues in a community and develop their expertise on these community needs, they are more open to taking action and ultimately influence other youth to become civicly engaged. The students of the Los Angeles River School have helped develop a model for others to follow.

Students from the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts (LFCSA) and the Living Museum Sycamore Grove are collaborating with Departures Youth Voices to document their exploration of the area and develop interactive tools that will become part of the Living Museum's community resources. Follow the students here as they work with community residents and learn about the history of the neighborhood, urban planning, and placemaking.
Recently the students at the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts visited the Sycamore Grove area of Highland Park and carefully documented their experiences as part of their collaboration with the Living Museum. Back at their school they had an opportunity to further reflect on their visit by drawing maps of their route and their experiences. This was an exercise that didn't require the students to draw traditional style maps, but rather asked them to ponder, and then illustrate, their experiences with the location: What stood out to them, what questions came up, and what did they learn? This allowed them to take a step back and begin to think critically about their visit and their project.
The mapping served the dual purpose of reflection and as a creative jumping off point for the development of an artwork the students will propose and ultimately create for Lummis Day 2014. Their art pieces will be part of the Living Museum, and will inform and guide visitors through the area during the day of the event.
The following maps show two of the routes taken. The first group walked around Sycamore Park, visited art galleries and historic homes along Figueroa Boulevard, and stopped at the entrance of the Southwest Museum tunnel.
The second group visited the Arroyo Seco, Heritage Square, the Lummis House, and walked up the stairs leading to a remnant of the once proposed California Cycleway.
A student created a visual word map detailing the people, places, and things she saw and experienced.
Below, two students used their maps to visualize and place their artwork within the environment. The first map shows how visitors can experience the history of the neighborhoods stairs and the California Cycleway by using historical photographs and an interactive sculpture. The second shows the placement of a tent along the path between the Audubon Center and the Arroyo Seco, where participants will be able to enter and learn about the area as well as leave their comments.
In addition to their field trip notes and maps, the students are conducting research and meeting with community residents and experts, such as Tonantzin Carmelo and Suzanne Lummis to learn more about the people and area. They are being guided by their initial observations and questions from their trip, which began as an individual journey, but has become a team effort as they continue to embark on developing their artwork.
The maps allowed the students to dive deeper into the history and geography of Sycamore Grove, as well as informed them of the materials, locations and themes to investigate. To see more of the student's maps click here.]]>
When is a field trip more than just a field trip? When the students are documenting what they are seeing, feeling, and learning with the intention of gaining an understanding to then develop an artwork that will guide and facilitate the future visits of others. That is what the students from the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts (LFCSA) did on their recent visit to the Sycamore Grove area of Highland Park.
The project stems from the school's collaboration with artist Louisa Van Leer and the Living Museum, a project designed to expose the public to the rich history of Sycamore Grove and help develop it as a community asset. The area includes Sycamore Park, the Arroyo Seco, Heritage Square, the Lummis House, and the Audubon Center at Debs Park, as well as other local treasures. Cumulatively they all help to tell the story of the area. Departures Youth Voices is a partner in this exciting endeavor, providing resources from the Youth Voices curriculum and the Departures Highland Park installment, as well as a platform for the students to share their work.
As fifth and sixth graders from LFCSA visited different locations, they wrote their observations in their Youth Voices Notebook, took photographs, and asked questions to gain an understanding of everything they were seeing. Their notes and photos can be seen here.
The next step for the students is to map the location they visited and identify the people, places, and things that stood out for them. They will also have an opportunity to meet and listen to several community residents and experts that will add to their understanding of Sycamore Grove. From this site specific research and investigation, they will begin to formulate their artwork that will be featured at Lummis Day 2014.
Below are some of the comments and questions the students wrote, and photographs taken during their field trip. To read more of their observations click here.

An important component of Youth Voices is providing an opportunity for students to present their community cause to the public and receive input, advice and perhaps new directions for their projects. This is one way the students insert themselves into the public conversation on the crucial issues facing their communities. Students at Mountain View High School began this process late last year by exploring and researching various ideas, writing articles and conducting interviews on their cause and then using social media to disseminate their work and ideas.
The students recently took the next step of presenting their causes to a group of community members and experts, including, educators, writers, architects and school administrators. The students created visual presentations that highlighted their causes and the process each team went through. They shared how their ideas evolved as they conducted research, outreach, interviews and what they view as the next steps for their community cause.
One of the objectives of the presentations was to assist the students as they prepare to do their presentation to the El Monte City Council in March. Identifying where they may need to do more research, tighten their ideas or highlight what they have already done. Guests were asked to fill out comment cards as well as ask questions after each presentation. The three groups received critical input and encouragement to move their cause forward as well as advice on recruiting more people to their cause.
Examples of comments:
For Tenacious 3 "Very feasible project. Great idea to do a competition for new designs...Reach out to hardware supply retailers for sponsorship opportunities"
For EMERALD "Great presentation...Show a map...that shows the past use vs. current use. That would be very impactfull. Use 'destination city' term."
For Lady & Gents "I like that you want to make it family friendly, 'multi-purpose' is good! I wonder if there are programs that could support your project, like an anti-obesity/healthy lifestyle that encourages people to walk and be fit. Make a design of the dog park and show it in your presentation."
Click on the pictures below to see the students presentations and to leave comments.
Tenacious 3 - Building school pride and community - Revitalizing the Mountain View High School Viking Mural
Lady and Gents - A dog park for El Monte, good for dogs, good for people

As part of Youth Voices, students are encouraged to engage with their peers, adults, and community leaders as part of their outreach and investigation of their "community causes." Students are asked to participate in events in their community, where they can conduct outreach for their project (surveys, maps, interviews), identify resources, and find potential community residents and experts that they can interview for their project.
Many of the students have tremendous social skills, but when put in an unknown environment these skills can become overshadowed by an intense unease to a new situation and activity. Students have found it beneficial to take a step back, review their "community cause," and practice speaking about the "what, why, and who" of their project. The more they practice, the more comfortable they are with sharing their objectives and goals.
Students at Mountain View are contacting and requesting interviews with City of El Monte officials. They are crafting emails and practicing what they will say on the telephone. They are carefully checking their spelling and grammar, and asking for suggestions on their emails before sending them out. It's a slow process, but one that's aimed at getting them an interview or at least support for their project.
Before the holiday break the students at the L.A. River School presented their "causes" to community leaders, with the intention of collecting input to refine their ideas and before embarking on their community presentations. Next week they will conduct interviews and revise their digital presentations before their upcoming presentation a the NELA RC Community Open House.

Architects from SPF:a introduced the project by reviewing the guidelines and restrictions they had been given by the City's Bureau of Engineering, including environmental and structural factors. They then briefly discussed their design process, emphasizing their desire to create a relatively simple structure that offered an efficient way for pedestrians and bicyclists to move from one side of the river to the other. The Box Bridge, as it is referred to in the event literature, offers a geometric design, approximately 20 feet wide, with designated lanes for those on foot and bikes. The bridge's bright orange and purple coloring allows the structure to glow and pop against the backdrop of the River water and concrete embankment.
When asked about the cost of the bridge the Bureau of Engineering representative mentioned that the initial budget was set for $5 million, but his office may request an additional $3 million from the city for the complete project. The overall project, including design and construction, will take approximately two years, placing the proposed completion date in 2015.
The presentation left some community members in the audience feeling dissatisfied. Some expressed a feeling of being completely left out of the process, and their opinions dismissed. This cast a troubling shadow over the presentation and the project. Whether intentional or unintentional, this oversight by the Bureau of Engineering and the architects to consult the neighborhood residents may take a concerted effort to remedy.
How will the proposed bridge affect your community? How can the community become part of the planning process? Let us know here]]>
The last of the community placemaking workshops sponsored by the Northeast Los Angeles Riverfront Collaborative (NELA RC) occurred just before the holidays at Irving Magnet in Glassell Park. Community members were invited to identify and explore community improvement projects and discuss design opportunities for a future NELA Riverfront District. Youth Voices students from the Los Angeles River School took this opportunity to present their initial project ideas to the group that had gathered.
The students designed presentation boards that featured information on their community causes and photographs of the location they're investigating. Their projects included, making San Fernando Road more bicycle and pedestrian friendly, re-envisioning vacant lots, making the L.A. River cleaner and safer for residents and visitors, and the creation of a LandBridge in place of the current Figueroa/Riverside Bridge. Their objectives were to share their project ideas and request feedback that they could use to enhance their project plans, as well as identify community members or experts they could reach out to for support.
Social Media Campaign
Students invited participants to become part of their social media community by following them on Instagram, Twitter or at #kcetyv. The social media campaign the students have launched is an important component of their outreach. Student teams have shared photos and begun to ask questions related to their community causes. Similar to the community workshop, they hope to get feedback from their virtual community and begin an on-going conversation on how to improve their neighborhoods and revitalize the Los Angeles River in a manner that seeks and incorporates community input and ideas.

Project Submitted by Karen Mack
Project Summary Youth created murals based on hundreds of community interviews and questions about health issues.
BHC Site South L.A.
The "Windows to Health" mural project involved 79 South LA high school youth working with 8 professional artists to collect hundreds of interviews from members about community health challenges and visions for a healthy South LA and to create a series of 16 murals currently installed on public buildings. The project was produced by LA Commons and sponsored by the California Endowment and Building Healthy Communities South LA.
Youth teams collected stories directly from the community and shared the stories as well as the positive narratives that sprung directly from peoples' experiences. Youth were the core story gatherers and art makers in the projects. They also publicly presented the stories of the art and were recognized as leaders in the community. Youth who participated in the story gathering, art making and presentations were more likely to be engaged and stay engaged in activities that promote positive change in the community.
Many BHC SLA partners collaborated to identify the themes of the work, to host workshop sites, story summits and celebrations and to identify ways in which art making or the final art work can be useful to community wide efforts for positive change.
South LA holds a wealth of creativity and artists, but little support for youth and artists. LA Commons works in collaboration with BHC SLA Partners to involve youth and artists to engage communities to share stories, make art, celebrate culture and to use art as a force to help make positive change for greater health in our LA Communities.
Currently LA Commons is working to produce a video about the amazing work happening to create healthier South LA, and is working with youth artist teams to create art that will help educate voters and residents about issues related to the effects of mass incarceration in our community and opportunities for change such as Prop 47.
Artists include: June Edmonds, Noni Olabisi, Omar Ramirez, Heriberto Luna, Stephanie Argueta, Pola Lopez, Carol Zou, Jose Lozano and youth artists from Manual Arts, Foshay Learning Center, Fremont HS, Augustus Hawkins HS, Mervin Dymally High Schools and partner organizations: LA Metropolitan Churches, Community Coalition, Weingart YMCA, Expo Center, Cooking with Gabby, YOLA - Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles, Brotherhood Crusade and UMMA Clinics and Wellness Center.

Sometimes taking a moment to examine that routine, or maybe even stray from it, allows us to see something new. That's exactly what the students at Mountain View High School did this week, by drawing maps and asking questions about the resources, assets, and points of interests in their community, which includes the San Gabriel River.
Students first answered ten questions that encouraged them to examine their relationship to their neighborhood:
The students then drew a map of their neighborhood, incorporating the people and places they identified. A second clear layer was then added onto the map, on which the students added words and images that elaborate on the significance of each item on the map. A third layer will be added at their next meeting, when they share their map with the class and, as a group, further elaborate on the people, places, and things that make up their neighborhood.
Monique's first layer of her map followed by the second clear layer with more detail and descriptions:
Valeries's first layer of her map followed by the second more detailed layer:
In addition to drawing maps, the students also explored the resources, assets, and points of interests in their community, as well as what may be missing. It's not often that they are asked to examine these aspects of their community; this process of critical thinking opens the door for the larger project the students will embark on in the next week, one that asks them, "What do you want to improve in your community?"
Look for all the student's neighborhood maps coming soon. Follow Youth Voices as the students identify and investigate how to improve their neighborhood and the adjacent San Gabriel River.]]>
Last week the the students at the Los Angeles River School (LARS) had a visit from George Villanueva, project manager for the Northeast Los Angeles Riverfront Collaborative (NELA RC). He discussed the mission of the collaborative, and shared some of the work the NELA RC has been doing in the community.
Youth Voices students are currently developing projects that connect to this larger re-envisioning of the river, with the focus distinctly on what they can do to improve their communities. Most of the students live in the five neighborhoods along the river in northeast Los Angeles: Glassell Park, Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, Elysian Valley, and Atwater Village -- areas directly affected by the changes taking place along the river. The objective of Youth Voices at the L.A. River School is to support and encourage the students to becomes leaders of their communities, and advocates for the type of change they want to see.
Later that evening some of the students attended the last of the five NELA Placemaking workshops that was taking place at the Glassell Park Senior Center. They heard from members of LA Más and Mia Lehrer+Associates, as well as other members of the Glassell Park community, and helped identify the area's resources, points of interest, and community assets. The goal of this, as well as the previous four workshops, was to help define a common vision for the community, and identify viable projects that can implement that vision.
It was great to see the students ask questions, share their ideas, and become part of this discussion and planning. We will be revisiting some of the ideas they explored at the workshop, as the LARS students continue to refine and develop their projects and their vision for a Northeast L.A. riverfront.
In order to better understand the rich complexities of the San Gabriel River corridor, Departures has formed a partnership with Amigos de los Rios, a non-profit that works to create vibrant communities by designing quality public environments in collaboration with local governments, businesses and residents. Throughout their multi-faceted projects, Amigos De Los Rios strive to bring renewed life to urban neighborhoods. They are spearheading the Emerald Necklace of sustainable open spaces along the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo River corridors. Through their deep connections and partnerships in the surrounding communities they were able to help Departures Youth Voices identify the location for our next installment, Mountain View High School.
The San Gabriel River and the Emerald Necklace are familiar territory for the students at Mountain View High School in El Monte. The River runs along the school's eastern side bordering the athletic fields and just down the street, the Thiennes Gateway marks one of the river's access points and green spaces along the Emerald Necklace.
The school opened in 1971 as part of the El Monte Union High School District and currently serves a student population of 1,769 from El Monte and South El Monte. When the school first opened both cities were in the middle of a population boom, with growing numbers of Latino working class families establishing homes and businesses in the area. This growth continued through the next three decades but has recently seen a significant decline. Young people are a large percentage of the overall population with approximately 40% of the residents under 24 years. Making their input and voices even more crucial in the future of their communities.
In early October, faculty at Mountain View High School pulled together a group of 100 students from the Vista Media Academy for a presentation from Youth Voices and Los Amigos de los Rios. Many were excited about the opportunity to use multimedia as a tool to explore their community and initiate positive change. A good portion of the students have media experience, having developed a variety of projects as part of their course work in the Academy.
This week marked the first class with the students and the beginning of their exploration of their neighborhood and the River. The group was ready with ideas but hesitant about the time commitment Youth Voices requires. Many play sports, work, or are involved in multiple school activities. As seniors they're also busy with college applications and thoughts of what comes after graduation. None-the-less they dove into the work by contemplating their relationship with their neighborhood -- writing ideas down in their Youth Voices Notebook and sharing their thoughts with each other.
The goal, as always with Youth Voices, is to offer students a valuable and memorable experience that helps build their confidence and skills so they may become engaged in their community and identify themselves as leaders. After spending a couple of hours with the students at the Vista Media Academy it was easy to see they are already ahead of the game.

Zhone Technologies Expands FTTx Footprint In Midwest With Grand River Mutual Telephone
Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced that it is working with Grand River Mutual Telephone Corporation, Missouri's second largest independent operator, to build a new fiber network that will support delivery of more affordable and reliable high-speed Internet access, VoIP and video services to residential and business subscribers.
The unmatched flexibility and scalability of the Zhone MXK™ platform and its ability to provide Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON), Active Ethernet (AE) and VDSL2 connectivity in facilitating network and service upgrades to FTTH has been repeatedly demonstrated in similar broadband projects throughout the United States. The greenfield fiber point-to-point (P2P) AE network, managed through Zhone's MXK platform, will benefit Grand River Mutual Telephone residential customers with wire-speed gigabit connectivity to enable a higher quality of media experience with multiple high-definition television (HDTV) channels, high-definition digital video recorder (HD-DVR) content and video streaming within the home.
"With more than 15,000 access lines spanning Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa, we needed a fiber access vendor with superior scale and effective network management capabilities," said Wendel Myers, general manager of Grand River Mutual Telephone. "The increased density, scale and performance provided by the Zhone MXK, and zNID™ ONTs address our network complexity and challenges. This new fiber network allows us to provide advanced communications and connectivity to our residential and business customers. The benefit for service providers like us is that a full range of delivery mediums can be deployed side by side in the MXK which limits the cost of network upgrades and ongoing broadband deployments."
"Similar to many of our North American customers, Grand River Mutual Telephone needed a fiber access solution with high performance attributes to meet the changing needs of its customers," explained Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer for Zhone. "Flexibility, scalability and ease of use are some core functionalities of the MXK that resonate with service providers, and have ultimately made it one of the leading solutions for FTTH deployments globally."

Linguistic Culture and Language Policy
Psychology Press, 1998 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 351 pages
By looking closely at the multilingual democracies of India, France and the USA, Harold F. Schiffman examines how language policy is primarily a social construct based on belief systems, attitudes and myths.
Linguistic Culture and Language Policy exposes language policy as culture-specific, helping us to understand why language policies evolve the way they do; why they work, or not; and how people's lives are affected by them. These issues will be of specific interest to linguists specialising in multilingual/multicultural societies, bilingual educationalists, curriculum planners and teachers.

Classroom Technologies | Feature
A Georgia school district is using a hosted solution, mentoring, and professional development to get its teachers up to speed with collaborative classroom technology.
City Schools of Decatur in Georgia began outfitting all of its classrooms with interactive whiteboards about six years ago, but it wasn't until recently that the district turned to technology to make sure teachers were actively using the equipment during class.
"Our teachers loved the boards," said Heather Borowski, the district's instructional technology coordinator, "but they found it was time-consuming to create the content necessary to utilize the technology."
Not wanting to see the investment it made in whiteboards for all of its K-5 classrooms go to waste, the district rolled out the initiative by having teachers apply for the boards. "Teachers basically let us know whether they wanted the technology or not," said Borowski. The early adopters not only got their hands on the whiteboards first, she said, but they also served as models for the rest of the school's staff.
Teacher Challenges
"Over time, more and more teachers wanted the boards because they saw their colleagues using them and wished to have access to the same resources," Borowski explained. But once the whiteboards were installed--sometimes covering entire walls and leaving no room for traditional dry erase boards--that initial momentum slowed significantly.
"We started to see that considerable time was needed to create the interactive whiteboard lessons," said Borowski, whose team first addressed the issue by holding day-long instructional sessions and after school instruction for teachers district-wide. Instructors got hands-on lessons in how to use the equipment and the associated lesson-building software.
The challenges persisted, as evidenced by the frustrated comments Borowski received on her year-end "technology integration" teacher surveys. "Over the last few years, the surveys revealed that even though teachers liked their interactive whiteboards," said Borowski, "they didn't have enough time to create lessons for them."
And while teachers didn't go back to their "old ways" of teaching (and, in many cases, couldn't because their dry erase boards were gone), Borowski said lessons weren't as robust as they could have been if the instructors had the resources necessary to adequately prepare whiteboard-based lesson plans.
With its own internal resources exhausted, the district began looking around last summer for digital resources that could help teachers actually use their interactive whiteboards to teach math to the K-5 students.
Lesson Planning and Collaboration in the Cloud
"We needed something that aligned with Georgia Department of Education standards, and that wasn't too 'arcade gamey' in nature," said Borowski. "We wanted a simple, standard way for teachers to use the technology without having to go through an entirely new learning process to get there."
After watching several vendor presentations and attending the Georgia Educational Technology Conference, Borowski worked with the district's instructional services committee, curriculum director and associate superintendent to wade through the options and find something that would meet their teachers' needs.
The team found what it was looking for in a digital, K-6 math curriculum that incorporates interactive whiteboard teaching. Known as CINCH Mathematics (from McGraw-Hill), the cloud-based solution enables curriculum planning, lesson design and assessments.
Using the program, teachers can prepare their own lessons and also collaborate with one another. Students use it for evaluations and extra math practice. The program, which was rolled out for the 2010-2011 school year, hasn't caught on across the entire K-5 teacher population yet, but Borowski said she's hopeful.
"We're hearing that some know about the resource but don't know how to use it," she said, "while others say lesson prep is much easier, and that they no longer have to spend time creating flip charts from scratch."
To get more teachers on board with the whiteboard curriculum, Borowski said its top advocates formed "Team Cinch," a group of teachers across grade levels and district schools who helps with implementation and professional development. The team also created standardized, grade-specific materials and populated the program, giving teachers access to ready-made lessons, said Borowski.
"We have two teachers from each grade level who serve as mentors and who go back to their schools and re-deliver what they learned during our team meetings," Borowski said. When school begins this fall, the group will kick into gear by serving as "teacher leaders," who work with instructors one-on-one to get them up to speed on the program. "They'll be training this summer for that push in the fall," said Borowski.
With its whiteboard challenges nearly solved, the district is now developing a mobile computing strategy that will put handheld computing devices--likely iPads--into the hands of its 2,500 students. The new initiative could also find the district using CINCH as a digital textbook content delivery solution for those devices, although Borowski said the district "is still discussing its options and exploring the available opportunities."

Setting the Record Straight About the Sequester
By Dan Pfeiffer February 19, 2013
In less than two weeks, dangerous across the board budget cuts are slated to take effect, potentially threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs, our national security and our economic recovery. The President has laid out a specific plan with detailed cuts to avoid the sequester and reduce the deficit in a balanced way by cutting spending, reforming entitlements and closing tax loopholes for the wealthiest and big corporations – loopholes not available to the middle class — and Congressional Democrats have put forward a balanced approach as well.
The only party unwilling to compromise to avoid these devastating cuts are Congressional Republicans, who would rather see our recovery and middle class economic security be put at risk than close one tax loophole for big corporations and the wealthiest.
Tonight, in an effort to distract from this reality, the Leader of the Republican party took to the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal to engage in an amazing act of revisionist history. Instead of communicating with the American people – who support a balanced approach to reduce the deficit – about finding a compromise, the Republican Leadership once again launched a series of false attacks instead of putting forward ways to resolve this issue in a bipartisan way.
So let's set the record straight.
- Speaker Boehner asked "What spending are you willing to cut to replace it?" Here they are: The fact is, the President has a detailed, balanced plan with spending cuts. He is willing to make tough choices. Now it's time for the Speaker to do the same. The Speaker has yet to name one tax loophole he's willing to close. Not one.
- The Speaker said the sequester is "an ugly and dangerous way" to cut spending. We agree. But in the past he's led Congressional Republicans to threaten the sequester as a political tool. In the Wall Street Journal on January 6, 2013: "Mr. Boehner says he has significant Republican support, including GOP defense hawks, on his side for letting the sequester do its work. 'I got that in my back pocket,' the speaker says."
- In that same article in the Wall Street Journal Speaker Boehner boasts about using the sequester as leverage. "Republican willingness to support the sequester, Mr. Boehner says, is 'as much leverage as we're going to get.' That leverage, he reasons, is what will force Democrats to the table on entitlements."
- It's time for Speaker Boehner to explain to the American people what he actually meant. The Speaker claims the sequester was a last minute agreement to resolve the debt limit increase the President wanted. Simply not true. In fact, it was the Speaker who praised the sequester at the time. Following the deal, he said "When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the White House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I'm pretty happy." In fact, the final vote count was 269-161 – with 174 Republicans in favor. Speaker Boehner, Rep. Cantor and Rep. Ryan all voted yes.
- Speaker Boehner argues the President has "put forth no detailed plan that can pass Congress". Here's the plan. It's balanced and it includes spending cuts. The President is willing to make tough choices. It's time for Speaker Boehner and Congressional Republicans to do the same.
- Speaker Boehner claims we haven't been serious about entitlement reform. The opposite is true: Here's the plan. It's on the table. Now it's time for Congressional Republicans to come to the table and take a balanced approach to avoid these devastating cuts.
- Where is the Republican plan? The GOP bill expired. If they're confident the draconian cuts will win support in Congress and more importantly – with the American people — they should bring it up for a vote.
