Art Charm Swap Blog Hop and Charity Auction to Benefit Beads of Courage
The day is finally here!
Every year I host an art charm exchange. However, while that's really fun, I add a little twist and turn it into a charity auction for Beads of Courage. Each participant is required to send 10+1. The +1 is a donation to the auction.
Sign-ups were way back in September. The theme for 2014 "Soar." Charms had to arrive at sorting headquarters (my house) by mid October. That's when the hard work started...sorting, packing, shipping. Then getting the charms ready to list for auctions...photographing and listing. And finally. Today is the day you get to see everyone's hard work and have the change to be a part of it by bidding on the charms in the auction.
Unfortunately, due to taking college classes this semester, I didn't have time to make charms to swap. I was very sad. But I managed to make a charm for the auction. I decided on a hot air balloon to go with the theme of "Soar."
About half the auctions are live when this blog post goes live. The remainder will go live later this morning/afternoon (depending on when I finish my Econ paper that's also due today...EEK!)
I considered giving you sneak peeks of some of the charms, but I want you to visit the blogs to learn more about these special miniature pieces of art. Please leave comments. These women did some phenomenal work and everyone loves to hear it.
The most important thing is to go to the auction page, bid high, and bid often.
Here are the 2014 participants:

Jen, thank you for the wonderful (and herculean) job you're doing organizing the event. I can only imagine how much work is it, and you're doing it perfectly!
I can't wait to see what everyone made (I only had a glimpse at the ebay auctions and I know my own 9 charms) - every year it seems to get better and better.
Best of luck with the paper (and exams, if you have them - mine are in less than 2 weeks... eek! :) )
Wow Jen that is an amazing charm, I love the colours you have got in the balloon! Thank you so much for all your hard work making such a great swap and good luck with your paper I hope all goes smoothly!

What is your problem with abortion? You mention that the decline of teen mothers is a good thing, yet you don't mention that abortion may be a
reason for this. All of you people who march around clinics with your catchy signs and slogans on how "Jesus" feels about abortion are ridiculous; to understand the solution (abortion) you must understand the problem, and why people are using this as a way out. People make bad decisions. That I do not deny. But you can sometimes right a wrong by correcting it, and preventing the problem from spreading. If you're a teenage mother and you have a child, you will probably drop out of school. You talk about how society is these days, and that this world has problems; don't you think having uneducated, immature mothers is a problem? They will only raise their kids wrong, who will only raise their kids wrong, and the circle of poverty and despair continues.
Abortion, however, will give the unwise a second chance, and allow them to finish school and become older before they decide to have a child. I disagree with our opinion, but what really makes me mad is that you are not looking at all sides of the story. You see abortion as murder and the mothers as murderers. Yet you don't stop to consider why they have come to take as desperate measures as they have. People do not just run around, get pregnant, and BOOM have an abortion.....it takes thinking, it takes considering, and only, ONLY if people can see no way out, do they then have an abortion. It's not as though people actually ENJOY this. When somebody recieves an abortion, it is becuase it is the LAST WAY OUT, not THE FIRST. They have come to a point where they are desperate and thought about other solutions, which would not work nor solve the problem.
There is a picture of your family on the front page, and there are a lot of children. The poster-family for Pro-Life, right? Unfortunately, your situation is not like everybody elses. You are probably happy people who have enough knowledge and financial security to have that many children. But do you think that teen mothers, who have no knowledge (becuase they must stop school to look after the baby) nor financial stability, are in the same situation you are in? It's easy for you to sit back and call abortion murder.....because you'd never need to have one. You can pop out as many kids as you can, and you have the money to pay for their needs. But others don't, and so your situation does not apply to EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD, including teen parents.

Well, score another one for the one percenters! Microsoft has just patented an app for the GPS systems, that (allegedly) based on crime and weather statistics, advises the driving patrons on how to avoid unpleasant neighborhoods, better known as ghettos, shantytowns and obamavilles.
Microsoft's true genius apparently resides in patenting an app that it seems has been more or less used by the powerful since the beginning of time: it makes easier to avoid addressing the poverty and social justice issues.
It won't be long until the ACLU files a class-action lawsuit on behalf of those that will be discriminated and segregated thru technology. After that, common sense will still be AWOL.
The oldest trick on the book: pretending there is no poverty by simply not looking at it.

HTC U11 to receive 1080p 60fps video recording and Bluetooth 5.0
The smartphone has already begun receiving positive feedback from users regarding the latest update.
HTC a few weeks back introduced its high-end U11 smartphone. In a very short span of time, the HTC U11 smartphone has managed to gain the top positions in the list of the Android-powered devices of 2017. The smartphone equips itself with top-notch specifications aimed towards facilitating the requirements of the user, and an impeccable design, which is pretty hard to match. One of the primary highlights of the HTC U11 smartphone is its camera. Now, the company has reportedly confirmed that its device is scheduled to receive the latest Bluetooth 5.0 update. The company even further went on to state that the smartphone's Bluetooth 5.0 system will function way better when the device finally receives the Android O update as well.
Feedback from the fans
As pointed by Gadgets 360, the smartphone has managed to receive a Positive Feedback from both, users as well as its critics after the launch. However – at the time of the launch – the smartphone did not sport all the possible features, which were expected from the same. The company began deploying several exciting promised features to its U11 smartphone, starting June this year. The company finally seems to be ready to update its flagship U11 smartphone with the latest Bluetooth 5.0 update.
Along with this, the device will also reportedly be receiving the ability to record 1080p resolution at 60fps as well. Apart from the already given features, the smartphone is also scheduled to feature the latest (August) security patch as well.
The latest set of fixes will be taking care of all the possible bugs that existed in the software. The August security patch will also come along with stability improvements, which ensures a smooth experience for its smartphone users. After the HTC U11 receives its latest Bluetooth 5.0 update, the smartphone will also allow users to enjoy a longer range for connectivity, complimented by a higher bandwidth for transmission and a lower power usage as well.
Edge Sense features
The company had also recently stated that the smartphone will be receiving all the possible Edge Sense features as well. However, these additions still haven't been made by the company and there is no word on when these will be made.
The smartphone also recently received a major update, wherein the company added support for Amazon's Alexa digital voice assistant as well. The company hasn't made any other confirmation regarding the same. Let's see what ends up turning out to be true.

Goldey-Beacom's baseball squad was presented the Team Academic Excellence Award by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
The award is given to teams who record at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
This comes on top of the Lightning seeing five of its student-athletes named to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Academic Honor Roll during the season. This included junior Brandon Abdul, of Old Bridge, New Jersey; senior Keegan Marsden, of Stratford, Ontario, Canada; as well as sophomores Cole Collins, of Laurel/Sussex Tech; Jake Kinsell, of Carmichaels, Pennsylvania; and Brandon Hanson, of Bayonne, New Jersey.
Abdul was tabbed first team All-CACC as a utility player. In his 37 games, he ended 39th in the country with 6.97 hits allowed per nine innings, fourth in the league with 8.85 strikeouts per game, fifth with a school-record 61 strikeouts, 11th with 62 innings pitched, 45th with a .282 batting average and 35th with a .389 on base percentage.
His strikeouts are a school record and his innings pitched are second.
Single-game memories also made their way to Abdul's docket. He notched a school-record 14 strikeouts April 21 against Dominican — New York — as part of a contest in which he yielded one run and one hit over eight innings. That came in his next appearance after getting 10 strikeouts over seven innings April 13 at University of the Sciences.
Marsden was tabbed second team all-league at second base. He ended fourth in the conference with six home runs, 12th with a .503 slugging percentage, 17th with a .421 on-base percentage, 17th with 32 RBI, 27th with 50 hits, 28th with a .307 batting average and 49th with six stolen bases.
His RBI are a school record, his hits are tied for first and his doubles are second. Marsden paced the Lightning with 14 multi-hit games and nine multi-RBI contests. He also notched an 11-game hitting streak, one game shy of the school record.
Collins competed in 34 games with 32 starts as a third baseman and catcher. He is 83rd in the NCAA with five sacrifice flies and finished 54th in the CACC with 19 RBI to go with his 24 hits.
Kinsell pitched nine games with three starts. He closed 17th in the CACC with a .197 batting average against and also had 22 strikeouts over 19 1/3 innings.
Hanson gave the team contributions primarily at catcher among his 28 games played and 23 starts. He batted .313, to go with 25 hits, six doubles, 13 RBI, a .488 slugging percentage and a .429 on-base percentage.

Hah! Quote of the day from the music industries on New Zealand's crazy new Section 92a copyright law, and the telco providers' draft code of practice on how to handle disconnecting their customers after accusations of copyright breach:
One issue that RIANZ and APRA are currently discussing with the TCF is the establishment of an independent third party to consider objections and adjudication if necessary.
[Via : Computerworld > Leaked letter reveals recording industry's copyright stance.]
Hey guys! That independent third party — that's called the legal system!
If a copyright holder believes someone has stolen their stuff they should assemble the hard evidence and take the alleged offender to court!

Seven nights a week there's something special for everyone – whether you take yours straight up, on the rocks, or with a kick of serrano chili. Grab your drink of choice and cozy up inside on any one of the leather chairs or plush sofas next to book-lined shelves, an oak pool table and a photo booth for entertainment. Outside is just as nice with fire pits, great views of the city, and if you time it right, live music during Live at The Library, or DJs.
Not only that, but social hour is every day at 5 – 7 pm. That means you'll get your favorite drinks nearly half off, plus bar bites from Cleo like kebabs and Chef Danny's coveted dips. Now about those cocktails we mentioned…check out the gallery above to preview seven of The Library's best cocktails. These can all be tried seven different nights of the week, or even in one go if that's the kind of night you're going for! And for a night cap at home, below is our mixologist's famous Vinebury recipe.
Muddled cucumbers basil serrano chili
1 1/2 oz. Absolut Vodka
3/4 oz. Lemon
3/4 oz. St. Germain
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup

What is EB?
Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB, is a rare genetic connective tissue disorder that 200 children per year are born with in the United States. There is no treatment or cure. There are many genetic and symptomatic variations of EB, but all share the prominent symptom of extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. EB is always painful, often pervasive and debilitating, and is in some cases lethal before the age of 30. Daily wound care, pain management, and protective bandaging are the only options available for people with EB.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A handful of Florida State track & field athletes produced quality performances as they hit the road this weekend to chase NCAA Indoor Championship qualifying marks in final tune-ups before next week's ACC Championships.
On Saturday at the UCS Invitational, hosted by Wake Forest at the JDL Fast Track, Seminoles Jake Burton and Harry Mulenga turned in impressive performances, finishing first and second in the 800 and mile, respectively.
Burton, whose chase for an NCAA qualifying mark was marred by a lap two spill last week at Boston University, won in 1:50.086. Senior teammate Otniel Teixeira was third in 1:52.32.
With the generous conversion allowed for the performance on the 200-meter flat track, Burton's time of 1:48.54 leaves him ranked 24th nationally on the descending order list in the event.
The top 16 in each event after next weekend will advance to the NCAA Indoor Championships, which means Burton – the defending ACC champion in the 800 – will have an opportunity to move up a couple notches when the conference meet is contested at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Mass.
Mulenga turned in a season-best time of 4:04.79 – No. 6 all-time among Seminoles – for his runner-up finish in the mile, with that mark converting to 4:01.71; good for 50th nationally.
"I was really pleased with Jake and Harry's races today," FSU coach Bob Braman said. "Both convert to lifetime bests. They fought really hard to try and post a national qualifying mark and came up just short.
"Otniel got boxed in at the start and never really had a chance. All three will make a run at national qualifying at ACC's next week."
On Friday, FSU graduate student Sasha-Ann Lebert continued her gradual climb toward a NCAA qualifying mark, posting a lifetime-best performance for the fourth time this season in the weight throw at the Virginia Tech Challenge. Lebert's top throw of 19.83 meters (65-0.75) – on her second throw of the competition – was good for a fourth-place finish in a loaded field.
Lebert, who ranks third in FSU history, has the No. 5 mark in the ACC this season and currently sits 33rd on the national descending order list, less than one meter off a national qualifying mark.
The Seminoles will depart of the ACC Indoor Championships on Tuesday, with the three-day competition set to begin Thursday.

Social media mediums such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Snapchat are very well known amongst young teens and young adults. Since these apps have become so well known, it is evident that the number one users are the younger generation. This is because; you will find a higher number of younger people on their cellular devices. But as time progresses, things change. I have witnessed more and older generations making accounts for the social mediums mentioned above, especially Instagram. Everyone wants to be in the scoop with technology. Even a lot of business people I find are on Facebook and Twitter, to promote their businesses. You are able to create business pages on Facebook, and can post pictures and articles and keep people informed.
For those who don't know what Snapchat is, which is most likely a small percentage, Snapchat is an instantaneous photo app that permits individuals to distribute brief moments with their friends and followers through images and videos that disappear immediately. It has blown up in social media and popularity, since it's release in 2011. In my opinion, it is definitely one of the most popular apps on Smartphone's.
In terms of Snapchat I haven't noticed this really catch the eye of the baby boomers yet. It has become a very popular form of communication and entertainment for the younger adults. It is very addictive and I find people like to keep people updated of what they are doing all day. But according to Shimon Peres he likes to break stereotypes and the norm.
Shimon Peres, former Israeli President decides to do something most 93 year olds wouldn't do. He joins the Snapchat revolution. He states from a Facebook post. "I turned 93 this week, and it seemed like just the right age to join Snapchat. Young people inspire me, and the most important thing for me is to hear what they have to say." I think it is great that someone from an older generation is being inspired to do something by a younger generation. It is great that Shimon Peres doesn't follow the crowd. He is doing something that is catching everyone's attention. I think the younger crowd would find it amazing, because Snapchat is something they enjoy and to see someone of his age joining Snapchat, it is quiet a surprise, but a nice one. I think it is great that the younger generation has left such a lasting impact on him. I know it is certain that some adults find social media a waste of time. For most its functions are useful and for many it is a relaxing past time.
The message that Shimon is trying to send is that he thinks it's important that the older generation keep up with the times. He wants to create an innovative generation, where technology is the main concern, and I think that is compelling according to The Algemeiner. We may all speak different languages but I think with social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram, this creates unity and brings everyone together. By more of the older generation joining Snapchat this doesn't leave anyone behind.
Shimon Peres stated to The Algemeiner, "it's no use having an old mind in a new world." He may be inspired by the younger generation, but I think he is definitely spreading wisdom onto the younger generation, and giving something for the older generation to think about. I know for sure that some people of his age would never join, because they are living in a completely different generation where they never grew up with social media, so it is understandable.
The fact that Shimon Peres got young leaders to set up the Snapchat account for him and teach him how to use it is amazing. It is clear that Shimon is interested in what the minds of young people are engaging in. He wants to broaden his reach without a doubt, to a much younger generation. Shimon Peres is creating and maintaining history. Snapchat and social media are far from a waste of time. It is leisure, entertainment and best of all it is fun. Why should there be restrictions in terms of what people are doing, because of age. Many might argue with this and I'm sure many might have disagreed with his actions, but for the most part I'm sure many found is amazing. Many 93 year olds have no interest in what is going on with technology or what young generations are interested in these days. They are set on their ways, so it is great that Shimon is showing an interest and isn't self-absorbed.
With over 100 million daily active users – most of which are aged 18-35 according to The Jerusalem Post, that accounts for the younger generation. Snapchat has caught the eye not only of Shimon Peres, but also of advertisers, media outlets, and politicians who have turned to the app for specific and ingenious reasons that many of the baby boomer generation, probably wouldn't think of. Mainly, the reason is to expand their access to a young, scientific, smart and technological age group. Snapchat can be of use and advantage, to politicians in terms of gaining the attention of certain crowds for votes. It is of use of advertisers, because Snapchat can definitely be used for advertising products or brands. It would keep people informed.

Creating Real Time Shift in leaders and their teams frequently starts with considering the question
Through our work we empower teams, and the people in them, to create new levels of effectiveness – in Real Time
Our agile and adaptive process allows us to operate in parallel with the needs and functions of your business. It allows us to move quickly and effectively towards identifying problem issues and empowering individuals to agree on ways to solve them.
On-site collaborations create less disruption for your people and provide our coaches with a better insight into how to interact in an effective and meaningful way – we discover the best way to work with you.
We spend 80% of our time actively listening and observing so that 20% of our time produces an informed and targeted action. By tracking and recording observed behaviours we can raise awareness of an issue and discuss the appropriate action with the individual or group.
Our progress reports create an opportunity for feedback and reflection, and sets an agreement for self-intiated solutions.
Our approach may, at times, include being present with people during genuine work activity, following the normal pattern of their schedules and behaviours.
In being present with an individual or team 'where they are' in this way we can gain important insights and deeper understanding of the system in which they are located, which in turn can illuminate the rest of our work together.
To remove participants from their workplace can abstract the real environment in which problems and their solutions exist, and so we seek to balance off and on site activity appropriately.
There is an energy and enthusiasm that comes from being 'in the moment'. Our coaches are experienced in recognising when to apply rigour and when to listen to intuition. Many issues that organisations are facing revolve around people communicating with each other we get to talk about the things that are important to their specific work.
We know there is not a one size fits all solution so experiencing the reality of your working environment is key to finding the right way forward.

Reasons behind the Arab-Israeli Conflict -The beginning
This website explains the Arab-Israeli conflict from the beginnings and the reason of every war , with awesome photos and explain , and very rare parts from the generals memories , at the top of the page click on the war's year to open it's page .
We will talk about the Arab-Israeli conflict from the beginnings to the 1973 war , But before we talk about it we have to see the events happened before it .
The Holy Lands called now Palestine and Israel , remained throughout it's modern history under the Turkish rule for about 4 centuries. Along this period the people there stayed in peace and calmness until the Zionism movement came into existence , trying hard to unite all Jews all over the world with the aim of establishing their state in Palestine , Moses Hess was the first man to think about the modern Zionism, But didn't perform any act to put it into effect , until Theoder Herrzel showed up (But He didn't think about Palestine at the beginning , He wanted to Gather the Jews Together in a Part in Africa , But He found ths Hard so he Thought About Palestine ) He founded The Zionism movement and held the first Zionism conference in August 1897 Demanding financial Aids , Therefore the world Zionism organization was established .
The Jews began to move into Palestine .
Then The WW1 Broke out , at the end of 1917 The Allies Fell into a critical situation because the rebellion of the french army , the collapse of the Italian army and the beginning of the Russian army withdrawal from the war , All these Factors let the British desire of attracting the American Public opinion with the aim of drawing The USA to participate side by side with Britain in the war .
At that time the Jews gained political and economical importance , therefore when Mr. Balfour -The British minister of foreign affairs- Left for the USA he directed his attention to addressing the Jews so that they may affect the public opinion and decision makers concerning the participation of America in the War , so he issued a declaration with his own name entitled "Balfour Declaration" , in this Declaration he promised the Jews to establish their national home in Palestine
With that decleration , Great Britain contradicated other promises it made to the Arabs , in 1915 promsing them liberty and independence in turn their alliance with the allies against the Turks in The war , more over Lord Balfour Himself sent Al-sheriff Hussien a telegram on the 8th of february 1918 mentioning that Britain inagreement with thwe Allies will support each movement aiming liberation of all the Arab countries including Palestine .
The war ended and nothing of this happened , and more and more Jews began to arrive in Illegal immigration , The Jews Began to make many Terrorist attacks to the English forces in Palestine ,and there were many attacks between the Arabs and the Jews, so on the 17th of may 1939 Britain issued what is called "the white book" in which it announced that establishing a Jewish state in Palestine was not among it's aim , and it's aim is establishing an independent government in Palestine comprising both the Arabs and the Jews , The Arabs welcomed this book with lots of caution , while the Jews rejected it because it didn't establish a state for them in Palestine .
The Arabs and the Jews lived quiet peacefully for a long time , until more than 400,000 illegal Jewish immigration Happened , and the Jews began to terrorize the Palestinians to leave their homes , also the Jews made many terrorist attacks to the English army , so finally the British government decided to submit the case to the UN after failing to find a solution .
Till that moment the Jews were Just 29% of the people living in Palestine , But the UN gave those 29% complete 58% of the Land of Palestine , wich is unfaire for the Arab majority in Palestine .
The English army withdrawed on the 14th of May 1948 ,then in the middle of May , Ben Gurion announced the creation of the state of Israel on The land of Palestne .
Here are some photos of Palestine Before 1948

I am a design researcher, performance artist and musician. I was born and raised in Turkey and I am currently based in Porto, Portugal. I hold a B.Sc. in Industrial Product Design from Istanbul Technical University (Turkey), MFA in Interdisciplinary Studies/Experience Design from Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, (Sweden) and Ph.D. in Design from University of Porto (Portugal). In my doctoral dissertation entitled Queerying Design: Material Re-configurations of Body Politics, fully funded by FCT, I investigated the intersection between design, material practices, queer theory and gender studies, exploring possible ways of interrupting oppressive material regimes imposed on material bodies. I take my inspiration from intersectional queer-feminist epistemologies, anti-oppressive methodologies and decolonial thought. Besides my individual works, I also collaborate with other academics, artists, musicians and activists, by using artefacts, texts, moving images, body, sound and voice as my main tools. I've been member of queer feminist performance group T.I.R. and performance art collective LoL Institute; I am currently doing music and performing in NOOITO and Live Low; and I am a founding member of the research collective Decolonising Design Group.

Your classes are cancelled on various national holidays and commemoration days. Does that mean your students are free to lounge away, unless their parents or family take them to a commemorative civic event? Does teaching and learning stop if schools are closed for the day and resume with the text print or digital texts of the curricula the day after the break, as though the person or the event never existed. Not if your class is linked to a Chromebook! You and the students can tap a trove of online current and past ceremonies and commemorative actual adult programs on You Tube or by uploading past videos or audio files of such events which can make civic ceremonies real and inspiring for students to enact now within their classroom community.
For example, on January 28th, 1986 the Challenger Space capsule exploded and with it the dreams and lives of sic astronauts and one school teacher. While this event is part of mandated American history classes in grade 8 and 11, seeing a video of a ceremony where the children of these astronauts held white roses and looked up at the Astronaut Memorial at Kennedy Space Center thirty years later
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3420606/30-years-Challenger-New-voice-astronauts-memorial-html, immediately makes this sad and national turning point tragedy of 31 years past real to students today. Inspired by such an intimate and digital immersion in this tragedy, middle school students went beyond the Chromebook screened video to create the following student centered ceremony.
In place of the white roses, seventh grade students in each English classes vied for the honor of holding or lighting candles in memory of the astronauts. They had gotten this frequently used personal way of celebrating the memory of those deceased by watching and researching other public memorials using the Chromebook video and audio viewing features. Among these were: http://abcnews,go.com/US/wireStory/memorial-day-parades-ceremonies-honor-fallen-military-47711213. Watching these and talking about them with a mentoring teacher engages students as citizens now and offers them a possibility to create their own ceremonies developed by their Chromebook event based web and digital research and scored by appropriate public domain audios or music or original songs they upload. They can not only produce and present their ceremonies using these digital resources as anchors, but they can also upload videos and scripts of these school based, local community events to get teacher facilitated school network and distanced school and invited adult response. This truly enfranchises them as citizens now from their school in the circle of citizens nationwide. Talk about making a real Chromebook, yet teacher monitored connection!!
Often as we teach our students about the achievements of various leaders or groups or as we outline an event which had great impact on our society, we sense that the import of the facts and their significance are being lost on the students. How do we communicate the full emotional meaning of these events and leaders' lives? Given my students' response to the introduction of ceremonies which they can experience through Chromebook facilitated video, selected YouTube, and web research, why not introduce ceremonies into the curriculum?
As the students are studying a specific leader's life or a group of leaders within a specific field, suggest that the leader's birthday or designated national holiday/month would be an appropriate time for a Tribute/Commemorative ceremony. If the historical figure is relatively contemporary and accessible—such as Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Veterans Day ,Memorial Day, 9/11, or the Challenge Seven astronauts, students might use the oral history approach to interview parents, community members, relatives, and peers about the figure or event.
Among the questions students might include in such interviews would be: Where were you the day of _____'s death? What were you doing when you heard the news? What was your first reaction to _____'s death? In what ways did _____ touch your life? What do you feel was _____'s contribution to society? If applicable or desirable, the students might also collect monies for an organization involved in furthering the leader's work or helping veteran families or helping first responders or contributing to scholarships celebrating a cause supported by the leader. Of course the interviews can be filmed and uploaded for ceremonies and civics folder and then projected on a back screen for the ceremony or imported as the narration or score. With chromebooks these files to add the personal voices students collected are readily accessible and infusible.
In addition, students should research the writings, speeches, recorded interviews and photos/paintings of the leader or group. As part of their research, students should extract what they perceive as significant quotes made by or about the leader. They can collect these is a word doc or create hand drawn or graphic art inspired by these quotes or use style of Draw 4Google logo which includes graphics for a daily historical events each day in the Google search. Students may comment on the applicability of these remarks to their lives. They can record this a narration for the ceremony or as part of a narration for a Power Point of their research including images and words and videos of the event or the personality. Representative portraits or photos might serve as inspiration for student artists to fashion a visual backdrop or graphic image of the leader. These graphics can be saved to their picture files on the Chromebook. Finally students should reflect on and share what they perceive as the impact of the leader's ideals or efforts for those who come after him/her. From these student writings, art designs, oral histories, and reflections, a tribute ceremony can be fashioned by a committee of students or the teacher.
This ceremony might roughly follow the attached outline with modifications made for class needs. Of course this ceremony can be videotaped or audio recorded so the actual ceremony will be well rehearsed. Chromebooks can be used for student team practice as they listen to successive recordings.
1. Begin with a brief introduction to the subject or event which inspires the tribute—SPEAKER ONE.
2. Background of the project which students worked on in connection with the figure—SPEAKER TWO.
3. Feature two or three speakers reading from students' oral histories—SPEAKERS THREE… (as many as desired).
4. Conclude with a speaker reading from a student's reflection on the significance of the subject's life or the event and how it affects the students today!!
The class and teacher may also wish to conclude the ceremony with a pledge to continue the work or to realize the goals of the leader or group!
A symbolic candle or candles are lit to complete the ceremony followed by a moment of silent contemplation.
Ceremonies can be easily infused into any social studies/language arts curriculum with interdisciplinary extensions in art/music. They can be written, researched, and organized by students from the upper elementary through the secondary grade level. As students work on these ceremonies, skills are enhanced in the following content areas: writing, communicating, oral expression, research, note taking, digital review of a range of texts and interviewing, thinking and reading. More importantly, through these ceremonies students are inducted into the stream of history's continuum. They have a sense of being a link in a chain of social development. They celebrate not only the figures and events studied, but their own citizenship and positive involvement in society!!! Chromebooks capture their final ceremony products and allow the audience for these ceremonies to expand beyond the onsite attendees. Let candles light your students' way to the core meaning of events and activists' contributions!!

Hi again fellow bloggers forgot to post this post!! I received a fab suprise today from Eileen Hull a designer of dies for Sizzix http://eileenhull.blogspot.co.uk. Why not check out her blog - loads of inspiration on there. She informed me that I had won one of her fringed flower dies - how great is that? especially as the weather is cold and miserable after our heatwave last week.
I love my bigshot and all the dies I use with it. Sizzix ones though are the only ones I can depend on to cut through thick materials and fabric so love adding to them. Can't wait to play with the new die though as I love the flower dies with fabric and have others including the tattered floral from Tim Holtz collection.
