Problems ‘Great Polar Bear Feast’ examines climate change
4
May 2016
O
ne of the largest land carnivores in the world, polar bears sit at the top of the food chain in the biologically rich Arctic. The Great Polar Bear Feast tells the story of Southern Beaufort Sea polar bears as they face the challenges of the Arctic summer, the time of year when the sea ice — on which they depend for hunting — melts at an increasingly rapid pace. Each summer, an increasing number of polar bears are converging at Kaktovik, a tiny Alaskan town on the shores of the Southern Beaufort Sea, to feast on the remains of whales left on a nearby beach by the Inupiat tribe. This spectacle is captured in the special, which also documents the immense struggle that polar bears face in the wild and how climate change has influenced their relationship with the local villagers. Accompany the U.S. Geological Survey lead polar bear scientist, Dr. Todd Atwood, as he and his team fit a dozen female bears with satellitetracking collars to gather data on them over several months. Using this information, the program follows two female bears and their cubs as the ice begins to melt. One mother, with two cubs, travels south to Kaktovik and is able to partake in the feast of whale blubber. The other, with a single cub, stays put and then must swim several hundred miles to the north to reach the nearest ice.

Kentucky women writers discuss black experience in the South
T
wo incidents involving race prompted a recent forum with Kentucky writers Nikky Finney, Crystal Wilkinson, and Bianca Lynne Spriggs discussing the experience of black women in the South. In July 2015, Sandra Bland, a 28-year-old black woman, was found dead in her jail cell after being arrested following an altercation with a Texas state trooper. Police called it suicide, but protesters around the country charged that it was a case of racially charged violence. Less than a year later, a 21-year-old black woman — a student at the University of Louisville — was verbally and physically assaulted by members of the crowd-turned-mob at a Donald Trump rally.

The three African-America women writers and scholars, who currently live in the South and use their work to engage these issues, spearheaded the discussion at Lexington’s Carnegie Center. The writers present their perspective on the challenges of black women in the South, a region they argue has historically marginalized or disregarded the voices and experiences of black women. Tune in for Black Women Writers Forum moderated by KET’s Renee Shaw, airing Sunday, June 26 at 2/1 pm and Monday, June 27 at 10/9 pm on KET.

SHORT TAKES Today’s KET: Recognizing classroom innovation
Kentucky teachers named 2016 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators
I recently had the pleasure of attending the Northern Kentucky Education Council’s annual Excellence in Education celebration, in order to present the first-ever KET Innovative Teacher Award. This award recognizes an educator who uses KET digital resources to foster student success. We were proud to have that honor go to Ms. Regina Egbers, a seventh grade science teacher at Gray Middle School in Union. She epitomizes what it means to lead a 21st century classroom, where robust digital content can support both student learning and teacher collaboration. Thanking our educators is something we as a community cannot do often enough. This particular award was an opportunity for KET to say thank-you to Ms. Egbers — and the many teachers like her — who make digital learning an integral part of their classrooms. Engaging students through digital learning tools is essential in today’s high-tech world. PBS LearningMedia and all of the resources that fall under KET EncycloMedia aim to assist educators in delivering an educational experience that is both compelling and curriculum appropriate. From short videos to interactive games and lessons, digital learning can be a valuable part of the overall learning environment — all with the goal of ensuring student achievement. Congratulations again to Ms. Egbers and to all of her students who are sure to find success through her commitment to innovation.
A total of 18 Kentucky teachers have been named to the 2016 PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators program, which honors tech-savvy K-12 educators from across the country. The teachers, who serve as leaders in the use of educational technology and incorporation of digital media into their classrooms, were selected based how they are creatively using digital technology. Kentucky’s 2016 PBS LearningMedia Lead Digital Innovator is James Wampler of Shelby County High School, Shelbyville. “Students need exposure to proper utilization of technology to connect them in relevant, engaging and information-rich ways to the real world that they live in,” said Wampler, who teaches eighth grade science. Wampler will attend the PBS LearningMedia Digital Summit, meeting other innovators. “I’m really looking forward to meeting representatives from other states to see how they are using technology as a tool for student engagement and growth.” Additionally, 17 Kentucky educators were named Local PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators. The teachers will receive year-long professional development opportunities, a free PBS TeacherLine course, and more. Kentucky’s PBS LearningMedia Digital Innovators will also receive ongoing support in their communities from KET.
