Featuring Dr. David Walsh

Cretin-Derham Hall High School
550 South Albert Street
St. Paul, Minnesota

“This class is pointless.”      “When are we ever gonna need this?”      
“Why can’t I play video games on my T1-86 during your class?”      “I gotta go. Can you text me the assignment?”

If you’re a teacher, you’ve heard these or similar comments from your students. Today’s students are demanding relevancy in their learning. They want to know “what’s in it for me?” With their wealth of technical distractions (cell phones, texting, Ipods, etc.), we are facing an uphill battle as we try to get them to “click in” with our curriculum.

8:00-12:00   Relevancy in the Classroom – Dr. David Walsh  
Dr. Walsh, founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family, is a leading authority on family life and the impact of media on children and teens. He has written eight books including Why Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen. His presentations focus on brain development, the impact of media on children and the factors that influence school performance, literacy, and violence prevention.                                                                                                                          
12:00-1:00   Lunch (on your own)
1:00-3:00     Why They’re Not Clickin’ In and What We Can Do about It – Paul Bernabei and Willow Sweeney
Paul Bernabei and Willow Sweeney, directors of Top 20 Training, have presented to students, teachers and parents throughout the United States to help them develop their potential. They have co-authored Top 20 Teens: Discovering the Best-kept Thinking, Learning and Communicating Secrets of Successful Teenagers and Top 20 Parents: Raising Happy, Responsible and Emotionally Healthy Children. 

Note from Susan Henderson - Director of CIS

Please include in your summer workshop agendas the following items:

1. Name/select/elect a course advisory committee for the coming year, if you wish to use one.

2. Select workshop and field day dates for the academic year 2008-09. We will bring a comprehensive calendar to the workshops, on which we record the workshop and field day dates that have already been set by other CIS cohorts.

Consulting this calendar, you can avoid stacking up CIS events in a way that makes it difficult for teachers and students. Many of our students and some of our teachers are involved in more than one CIS class!

Subject: Re: Murray Jensen - - Review of our workshop and things to think about .. PsTL 1135

Susan and Julie — and the CIS 1135 Instructors

Thanks for the breakfast treats this morning.  Everything went well.

Here is what we did today:

9 to 10 General Meeting and Debriefing

Big item here was what to do for field days in the future.  It was determined that I (Murray) should do one hour each field day.  We will also be show-casing our video projects.  There is still a need to find a speaker for each time.  I’ve been having trouble identifying speakers (everybody seems to be ignoring my emails – imagine that!) - SO – we came up with a few alternative ideas.

For the April 24th session, Thomas Sharp is going to contact his father, who still had ties with the U of M med school.  We hope that results in a speaker for April 24th.  We have other ideas for next year.

10 to 11 – Respondus Demonstration.  Dennis Svendsen from OIT demonstrated the “Resondus” test bank program and showed us how questions can be exported to web WebVista and Moodle.  

11 to 12 Discussed future plans for generating large question banks for use by all PsTL 1135 CIS instructors.  We hope to use a few moodle sites to archive both test banks and curriculum materials for CIS 1135 instructors. This project will begin this summer.

12-1230 LUNCH

1230 - 130  Discussion of video projects and how we will implement them in our courses. We started developing project parameters and began planning our video competition within and between schools.  

130 – 2 Begin planning  summer workshops (July 20 – 24)
