First up was the "<b><a href="http://www.newseum.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Newseum</span></a></b>", a relatively new museum which was absolutely amazing! As a Mass Communication Instructor and just a pop-culture nut, there was a lot of items that attracted my attention. Which made the experience really exciting as it has soooo much to offer.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Even before entering, get an idea of the scope of their commitment. Lining the entrance were front pages from newspapers from each state. Star and Tribune's headlines today: "Mpls. Favors Metrodome Site for Vikings Stadium", "U.S. foreign policy to emphasize gay rights", "3M chemicals down sharply in east metro residents", "Futures soar for Rep. Walz's STOCK Act" and a common theme across most state's newspapers today, the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor; "Opening up 70 years after Pearl Harbor". The Newseum even tracks this online for you. But through<a href="http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default.asp"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><b> their site online </b></span></a>you can track 883 pages from 86 countries.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Once in side, you finally get the magnitude of this 6 story (7 floors if you count the concourse floor) museum as the entry way is an open atrium to the top floor. A large helicopter hovers above you and a large satellite also lingers in the air. Some of my favorite parts of the museum included the Pulitzer Prize Photograph Exhibit which not only included every single photograph that has won this prestigious award, but also displayed the background story of most of them (maybe even all); the 4D movie "I-Witness" that made journalism look and feel cool; G-Men and Journalist Exhibit with cool FBI and crime artifacts (Dillanger's, the Unabomber, Lindberg kidnapping, Patty Hearst, spy artifacts, Hoover's desk, Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, KKK robes and mafia artifacts) the News History Gallery with front page archives displaying such historic day documents as JFK's assassination, the Man on the Moon, and the Sinking of the Titanic; the 9-11 Gallery of archives and special artifacts, the Berlin Wall Gallery with the largest wall display outside of Germany and an actual watchtower from near Checkpoint Charley; and the Journalists Memorial honoring those that lost their lives in the pursuit of news.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">There was a large scale map that identified every country and the classification of freedom of speech found there (free, partly free, not free). There were vehicles from actual journalist attacks (ie car bombings, warfare, including Bod Woodruff's body armor from when he was attacked). Many displays were interactive requiring you to touch, listen, move, or take part in news creation. You could even tape record yourself doing a live newsreport.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">I wish we lived closer because I would bring my students here for sure. I could easily have spent the whole day here as I only took in one of the numerous films and videos that were continuously running. This museum was not free, but was well worth the money. If you are an educator, don't forget to ask for the educator discount.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">After about 4 hours I decided I better move on to the next item on my agenda--the <a href="http://www.nmai.si.edu/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><b>National Museum of the American Indian</b></span></a>. This museum was beautiful! Here too, there was just so much to see.I again wished that I had more time in order to devote solely to this museum. It is the 18th building under the Smithsonian name which means it is also free. This too was a relatively new museum having been opened just in 2004.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">I started by catching up with a tour that had started a few minutes earlier (the only one of the day according. We proceeded to the special exhibit titled "Our Universes" which was 8 "cultural philosophies" that as I understood it, were created by the selected communities. As described by the NMAI, "</span></div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" class="old_box" style="text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 780px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td><table width="575" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td><span style="line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:transparent;"><p>Our Universes focuses on indigenous cosmologies—worldviews and philosophies related to the creation and order of the universe—and the spiritual relationship between humankind and the natural world.

The large entry was circular. Embedded in the wall were crystals which would cast rainbow prisms against the white interior walls. These also corresponded with the seasonal equinoxes.

The Terezin prisoners recalled and wrote down their recipes for chocolate torte, breast of goose, plum strudel, and other traditional dishes not because they thought they might ever need them--they were surviving on scraps and potato peels at the time--but as a testament to the future, so that their grandchildren might receive a fragment of their inheritance. The manuscript found its way in 1969 to Anny Stern, the daughter of Mina Pachter, whose poems on barracks life are also included.” (Citation: http://www.amazon.com/Memorys-Kitchen-Legacy-Women-Terezin/dp/1568219024)</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;"><span>But the one event that will forever be ingrained in my memory is my visit to <a href="http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005189"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><b>Auschwitz.</b></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Words cannot describe that experience.

There were so many extra seats on this first leg that I had the enter row to myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I can’t remember the last time I’ve had the option of laying across three seats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I’m sure it was decades ago…you know, in the “good ol’ days” when flights didn’t fly at capacity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Of course that was also the time when there was no such thing as a non-smoking flight, just a non-smoking section, that any nonsmoker who ever flew would tell you was still smoke-filled.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The pilot announced that our plane had reached its cruising altitude, which meant I was free to take advantage of the spare seats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So there I was, stretched out across the row preparing to take a snooze to help make up for the lack of sleep I’d been running on the past two nights (well I don’t know if you can count it a full night when you have to get up at 3:45 am) when another announcement fills the air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Flight attendants would be coming around with their regular beverage fare and complimentary breakfast sandwiches would be available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">What???? Complimentary sandwiches?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Talk about the old days, food hasn’t been complimentary since I was in high school!

During the last week of class, we received some exciting news, "The White House has extended a unique opportunity to us through their White House leadership series to brief our leaders (YOU) on subjects relating to foreign assistance. The day would also include a tour of the East Wing and an opportunity to ask Administration officials questions on eradicating poverty for the world’s poorest people."<br /><br />The <b><a href="http://www.va.gov/CFBNPARTNERSHIPS/docs/Community_Leaders_Briefing_Series.pdf"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">White House Community Leadership</span></a> </b>series was started in the summer of 2011. Our class and the One organizers responded with enthusiasm. As part of this coming together of grassroots leaders interested in global hunger initiatives, our organizers also arranged for a Lobbying Day on Capitol Hill. In a recent email I received regarding this week, it was noted that over 115 people from 30 different states were going to be coming together (most of us for the first time seeing each other in person) to participate in our democracy at the highest level.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Over the course of this week, I am going to try and share some of my experiences in Washington through this blog. As I am still teaching completely online I will do my best to blog each day, and if I can't, I'll be sure to post some information after the fact. As there are security restrictions on what we can bring into the White House, I will not be allowed to have my computer and cell phone use is restricted (<b><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/tours-and-events"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">White House Information</span></a>)</b>.

In six weeks, you completed a minimum of 48 hours of coursework related to hunger issues, international development policy, and advocacy skill-building.<br /><br />Over the course of this intensive six week course, you have been committed to learning new skills and absorbing new knowledge. You have learned about hunger, agriculture and the global food system, sustainable solutions to hunger, and the international institutions designed to address hunger. You have reached out to policy makers, honed your persuasive writing and speaking skills, and mobilized your community; but more importantly, you have taken up the torch of hunger and agriculture issues as a personal cause. We at ONE, WFP, and WFP-USA are impressed with the passion, creativity and dedication you showed throughout the course.<br /><br />Thanks to your contribution, letters have been sent and calls have been made to Members of the United States Congress, urging them to continue funding international aid programs in the FY 2012 budget. You should be proud of your accomplishments.<br />As a griot, you now have the privilege and responsibility to mobilize others and continue working for change through advocacy.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />ONE.ORG | 1400 EYE STREET NW SUITE 600 WASHINGTON DC 20005 <br />J.

Create a username and password for your individual account (but play for our Eleventh hour group—keep reading below to learn how).</p> <p class="MsoNormal">C. Once you have your username and password, go to “GROUPS” at the top of the free rice page. (PS if you already have a Freerice username/password you may use that but make sure to do the rest of the steps below to get counted as part of our group)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">D. Under the group tab, search for “Team11” (no space between team and 11) </p> <p class="MsoNormal">E. Click on Team11 when you find it.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">F. From <u>within that group</u> hit “Play.” (<b>MAKE SURE </b>"<b>Team11" displays above the wooden rice bowl</b>. If not, you might not actually be in the Team11 group setting--so try the search again. There are a few glitches and it might kick you out every once in awhile depending on how many people are playing around the world, so keep your eye on that "Team11" label which is again viewable if you look just above the box with the wooden rice bowl.)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">G.

As a Speech Communication Instructor, and being an extrovert, speaking up has not usually been an issue for me. However, in all my experience, when it came to "political issues" I would shy away. Don't get me wrong, I always exercised my right to vote firmly believing that if I didn't, I didn't have the right to share my opinions on how the government was doing. But beyond that I rarely got involved in the political process. So when our first week's activity was to write our congressional representatives, I knew I was going to be pushed outside of my comfort zone. This is when I knew I was truly going to learn something beyond the statistics of the class, I was going to learn about myself. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">One of the largest lessons I've learned about myself from the class so far was that I was going to have to rely on faith versus fear. I'm not talking necessarily about faith from a higher power, although for many people that would definitely tie in here. Once I recognized this lesson and actually implemented it, I discovered stepping outside of my comfort zone wasn't as scary as I first believed. Here's how I needed to reframe my perspective to focus away from fear on more on faith:</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>I shouldn't fear sounding ignorant. I should focus on what I know and proceed with confidence and faith in myself.</b></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>I shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. Instead, I should have faith that people will step up when I make my request honestly and from the heart.</b></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>Fear of failure demonstrates itself as pessimism while faith sparks optimism.</b></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>Fear of being just one person discounts the power one can have if they put faith in the power of many.</b></span></li></ol><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">The further I go in this course the more relevant these revelations become. In fact, I based my entire class project around these themes and now, instead of allowing fears to overshadow the project, I have faithfully put it out there, in hopes that people, people like YOU, will step up and accept the challenge to make a difference along with me. </span></div></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">Please learn more, I'm faithfully counting on you: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span"

This was step 2 in a 3 step challenge. If you donated food to your area food shelf, please post a comment to this blog entry with the following information:<div><br /></div><div>* Where was the food donated?</div><div>* If you're willing to share: Give us a glimpse of what was donated? (Recommended ideas of what to donate but not required: 11 pounds, or 11 items or $11 worth of non-perishable food. You're your own best judge of what you can do.)</div><div><br /></div><div>If you are just learning about this event, please consider it YOUR call to action and even if the date has passed, please still consider making a donation and letting us know. Thanks!</div><div><br /></div><div>Please also consider playing Freerice.com for the group TEAM11. That is the first item in this 3-step challenge. </div><div><br /></div><div>Part of the impact of social networking, is seeing how powerful we can be when we inspire each other, work together, share our ideas and encourage others to do the same. So step 3 is to challenge 11 other people with the three-step challenge. So pass this on and let's make a difference in the fight against local and global hunger!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://serviceforclc.blogspot.com/2011/10/eleventh-hour-11-hours-to-combat-local.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><b>Please click here to check the original challenge </b></span></a>or to get more specific directions on any of the steps. </div>Kari Frischhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05026088641577970273noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509529746591327065.post-34607643185071485772011-10-19T15:46:00.000-07:002011-11-09T14:15:00.542-08:00Eleventh Hour Challenge<div><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:documentproperties> <o:template>Normal.dotm</o:Template> <o:revision>0</o:Revision> <o:totaltime>0</o:TotalTime> <o:pages>1</o:Pages> <o:words>541</o:Words> <o:characters>3084</o:Characters> <o:company>THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT</o:Company> <o:lines>25</o:Lines> <o:paragraphs>6</o:Paragraphs> <o:characterswithspaces>3787</o:CharactersWithSpaces> <o:version>12.0</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:officedocumentsettings> <o:allowpng/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:trackmoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:trackformatting/> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:drawinggridhorizontalspacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:drawinggridverticalspacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:displayhorizontaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:displayverticaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> <w:dontautofitconstrainedtables/> <w:dontvertalignintxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";

It is a day to talk, reflect and even act on such issues as food production, hunger, sustainability, and dare I say...privilege. There are many ways people can participate in this global day of awareness. I've listed just a few ideas. I hope you will find ways to talk, reflect, and even act on this World Food Day and the days to come.

This is a site that I have created to house some of the projects my students are doing in their Service Learning class, on off-shoot of a new course I developed a few years ago titled "Online Social Networking" taught through Central Lakes College(CLC) in Brainerd, Minnesota.<br /><br />In the Online Social Networking class, students explore the appropriate and effective communication techniques and best practices for social media in the age of digital identies. We analyze various web2.0 tools such Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Delicious, Playlist.com and Shelfari.<br /><br />In the service learning class, students who have self-selected to take on this additional course credit, apply the techniques they've studied in the Online Social Networking class to benefit others through service learning projects.<br /><br />Since both classes are completely online, a sharing portal seemed necessary for bringing this all back together in a single, meaningful, and accessible spot which could be more easily shared or networked. So that's how this blog came into being.<br /><br />If you have more questions about the content, the projects or the classes referred to in this blog, please feel free to contact me, the course instructor and blog administrator, Kari Frisch. <br /><br />Thanks!Kari Frischhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05026088641577970273noreply@blogger.com0
