>A New Media Classroom Summer Institute
>"Culture Wars: 1920s America"
>
>Location: Assumption College, Worcester, Massachusetts,
>Date: June 24-28
>Registration Deadline:: 2001-06-01
>
>This week-long institute is open to secondary and college teachers,
>librarians and media specialists, community and museum educators.
>
>The New Media Classroom: In conjunction with the American Social History
>Project (CUNY) and the American Studies Association's Crossroads
>Project Assumption College will host a regional summer seminar
>dedicated to bringing educators together to investigate ways to
>incorporate effectively print and electronic media in various teaching
>and learning environments. The 20001 AC-NMC summer institute, organized
>around the theme of "Culture Wars: 1920s America," will build on the
>previous New England Region-NMC summer institutes, held at Assumption
>and at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams. It
>will expand the existing network of educators from diverse sites
>(schools, colleges and universities, community centers, museums,
>historic sites, and other historical and cultural institutions).
>
>Why "Culture Wars: 1920s America"? This is the theme of the
><http://www.assumption.edu/ahc/> American History and Culture on the Web
>project at Assumption which NMC co-leader John McClymer directs and for
>which co-leader Arnold Pulda is a research associate. The project,
>supported with an Education Development Grant from the National
>Endowment for the Humanities, focuses upon defining decades -- the
>1850s, the 1920s, and the 1770s. American History and Culture on the Web
>staff create archives of primary materials, design pedagogical
>exercises, and provide narrative guides to on-line materials. We will
>use these resources along with many others unconnected to the project.
>
>We will begin with materials dealing with the Harlem Renaissance. We
>will then look at key events of the decade, from the debate over
>immigration restriction to the Smith-McAdoo contest for the Democratic
>presidential nomination (in which the Klan's endorsement of McAdoo was
>the crucial issue) to the Scopes Trial. We will look at the emergence of
>advertising as an industry and profession and at the new mass culture of
>which advertising was a key component.
>
>The Program at Assumption College includes a five-day summer institute
>(Sunday,
>June 24-Thursdeay, June 28), a year-long on-line seminar, and follow-up
>on-line meetings focusing on the successful implementation of new media
>based instruction and materials.
>
>Goals include enabling participants to:
>a) promote the ability of students and other learners to construct
>knowledge and make connections in multi-media, text, images and sound;
>b) explore a range of new humanities resources available on the World
>Wide Web;
>c) integrate technology into individual courses, school curricula, and
>public interpretive programs;
>d) work with scholars and educators who have pioneered in developing new
>media applications; and
>e) contribute to an ever-widening community of educators committed to
>exploring what it means to learn, teach, and interpret in
>technology-enhanced sites.
>
>We invite applications from educators at high schools, colleges,
>universities, community centers, historical sites and organizations.
>These should be submitted no later than Monday, May 21, 2000. Applicants
>can apply as individuals or a team. High-level technological skills and
>extensive use of new media in previous teaching are NOT requirements for
>participation. Instructional and interpretive goals will drive the use of
>technology in the institute, not vice versa.
