PUBLIC MEDIA & EDUCATION: A WINNING PARTNERSHIP

UpFront with Greg Petrowich

TECHNOLOGY AND TEACHING

W

SIU is committed to partnering with other community organizations to promote positive change. Among the many individuals with whom we routinely work are educators throughout our coverage area. Recently, I had the honor of presenting “Public Media Trends and Directions” to more than 300 administrators and teachers at the Southern Illinois P-20 Education Alliance annual conference. The conference focuses on providing educators with practical strategies for closing achievement gaps in our schools.

My presentation focused on Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century, a program recently broadcast on WSIU. It explores projects in five different states that use digital media to enhance student learning. Not surprisingly, some of the approaches featured in the TV program are already being demonstrated right here in southern Illinois. While at the conference, I saw many examples of educators in our region making use of public media resources to teach. From preschool applications on hand-held devices to online graduate professional development courses, I was encouraged by the innovative spirit and enthusiasm of our teachers. After all, teachers are one of our most important resources for developing a stronger, more vibrant society.

“Deepening Connections,” a new report from Grunwald Associates, features results of the eighth annual PBS Teacher survey on media and technology. The survey data reflects a deepening commitment to digital media. Teachers depend on media to help them connect to students, promote creativity, and differentiate instruction. Educators also want to use the Internet for instructional strategies and professional development.

To make digital educational content available anytime, anywhere, PBS and NPR are engaged in projects that range in scope from the Library of Congress to the local school library. Closer to home, we have a project in the Cairo Elementary School library, for example, that helps the staff integrate educational media directly into classroom activities. As your local station, WSIU serves as a resource for developing the full range of skills necessary to live a fulfilling life.

In this climate of economic and legislative uncertainty, the need for independent public service media has never been greater. Anything we can do at WSIU to provide resources for teachers and help create a learning environment that makes the best use of technology for today’s youth is a step closer to realizing our shared vision.

D

id you know that PBS is the #1 source of media content for preschool teachers? Or that students using classroom curriculum from public media’s research-based programs outscored students using a comparison curriculum in five out of five measures of early literacy?

At a time when federal funding for public media is being hotly debated, we thought we’d share some good news that we recently learned from “A Story of Success,” a new nationwide PBS publication about the value of the PBS KIDS Raising Readers initiative. The report includes photos and research data from WSIU’s local Raising Readers activities! Here are a few more examples of how PBS is improving learning outcomes in young children: Children who played the PBS KIDS Martha Speaks “app” on a mobile phone increased their vocabulary by as much as 31% in just two weeks (Joan Ganz Cooney Center, Sesame Workshop).

Children who watched as few as two episodes of Super WHY! scored 46% higher on standardized tests than those who did not watch the show (Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania).

Students who participated in week-long reading camps based on PBS KIDS programming showed gains in all of the literacy skills presented in the program and developed proficiency in letters, sounds, and words.

Preschoolers showed an 84% gain in phonics skills and a 139% gain in word recognition skills (Florida State University’s Center for Reading Research).

L E A R N I N G AT T H E LO C A L L E V E L From PBS KIDS Raising Readers activities such as installing Library Corners at area schools and libraries and hosting Summer Reading Camps to incorporating new media into classroom instruction, WSIU continues to provide teachers and students with media resources that pack an educational punch.

To help improve literacy skills among at-risk children, WSIU traveled to Cairo Elementary School (left) to give young students a chance to try new media from PBS KIDS in their computer lab. Kindergartners enjoyed Word World e-Books while second graders tried The Electric Company electric racer games. To learn more about this project and other WSIU media-based activities that are helping to close the achievement gap, contact Beth Spezia at beth.spezia@wsiu.org.

ow in its 25th anniversary season, Illinois Lawmakers offers public television viewers “...a front-row seat to watching history in the making,” says Jak Tichenor, host of the landmark Illinois Public Television series covering the Illinois General Assembly. The program is distributed simultaneously on the state’s nine PBS member stations via satellite.

From live coverage of midnight-hour budget debates to furious floor battles, cantankerous committee hearings, and literally hundreds of in-depth on-set interviews, Illinois Lawmakers has earned a well-deserved reputation as the television program of record for legislative coverage since its debut in the spring session of 1986. “There’s really nothing else quite like it in scope and substance,” says Tichenor, who has served as Statehouse correspondent for the program since 1991. “This is the one place where both parties know that they’ll get a chance to tell their side of the story and defend their viewpoints to the voters of Illinois.”

Illinois Lawmakers gives viewers unequaled access to the state’s policymaking process, which makes the series unique. “We have developed a great rapport with the members and the legislative

leaders over the years,” says Marty McLaughlin, executive producer for the series since 1986. “They trust us to get the story right, and we’ve earned their respect for being scrupulously balanced in our coverage.”

early 200 community members joined co-hosts WSIU, the Illinois Humanities Council, the Varsity Center for the Arts in Carbondale, and the African American Museum of Southern Illinois on Saturday, April 2 for a preview screening of the new American Experience documentary film, Freedom Riders.

Every seat in the newly renovated theater and art gallery at the Varsity Center for the Arts was filled in anticipation of this powerful portrait of the 1961 Freedom Rides into the southern states to desegregate public transportation.

Following the film, original Freedom Riders Tom Armstrong of Chicago and Genevieve Houghton of Carbondale shared their experiences and participated in a questionand-answer session with the audience, which was moderated by Rev. Rick Jackson, pastor of Bethel AME Church in Carbondale.

Corene McDaniel and Carolin Harvey of the African American Museum hosted a reception following the event.

WSIU and the African American Museum also hosted a second film screening, followed by a workshop, on Saturday, April 16 at the Museum, located in the University Mall. Carbondale Community High School history teacher Joseph Keene arranged for students in his history classes and the school’s African American History Club to attend the event.

Students in Keene’s classes also will be following the progress of the 2011 Student Freedom Rides, which will take place May 6-16. Forty college students from around the country will join original Freedom Riders in retracing the 1961 Rides from Washington, D.C. to Jackson, Mississippi.

Students who participate in the 2011 Ride will share their experiences at pbs.org/wgbh/ americanexperience/freedomriders/2011.

The website also offers a curriculum for educators to use in conjunction with the film.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: FREEDOM RIDERS Monday, May 16 • 8-10pm (repeats 5/17, 12am & 5/18, 2am) In 1961, segregation seemed to have an overwhelming grip on American society.

Many states violently enforced the policy, while the federal government remained indifferent, preoccupied with matters abroad.

That is, until an integrated band of college students decided to risk everything and buy a ticket on a Greyhound bus bound for the Deep South. They called themselves the Freedom Riders, and they managed to bring the President and the entire American public face to face with the challenge of correcting civil-rights inequities.

American Experience: Freedom Riders by filmmaker Stanley Nelson is the first feature-length film about this courageous band of civil-rights activists. From WGBH.

hey came from different backgrounds, but Genevieve Houghton and Thomas Madison Armstrong III risked their lives for the cause for civil rights by joining the Freedom Rides that tested the Jim Crow laws of the South in the spring and summer of 1961.

Houghton, who now lives in Carbondale, was field secretary for the Congress for Racial Equality when she became one of the original group of 13 whites and African Americans who boarded a pair of buses in Washington, D.C. bound for the South.

Their goal was to challenge local laws and customs that enforced racial segregation in public transportation in the South, despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling banning the practice. Houghton’s Freedom Ride ended violently in Anniston, Alabama when her bus was firebombed by a white mob and many of the riders were savagely beaten.

Armstrong, who now lives in Naperville, Illinois, was a student at Tougaloo College near Jackson, Mississippi and had been active in the Civil Rights movement prior to the Freedom Rides. When the first Freedom Ride was aborted by the violence in Alabama, Armstrong joined hundreds of college students and others who organized their own Freedom Rides to take over where the first group had been halted.

Armstrong and Houghton described their experiences to WSIU’s Jak Tichenor during local events leading up to the national broadcast of American Experience: Freedom Riders on May 16.

his new documentary from Richard Kuenneke of Oakview Road Media offers insights into the basic questions that surround historic cemeteries as explained through the work and passion of historians, archaeologists, genealogists, and many others. The program traces the development of cemeteries from the 19thcentury family burial plot to the elaborate cemeteries of the last half of the 19th- and early 20th-centuries.

Also featured is a discussion about the types of stone used to make headstones, from local sandstone to elaborate marble designs. Earth, Stone & Memories also explores the cultural backroads of southernmost Illinois and features unique cemetery stories found along the way.

ancers representing both North American and Central American tribes gave exhibition dances throughout the day and joined with the public during fun intertribal and social dances for all ages.

Audiences ranged in age from newborn babies to high school and college students and even respected elders enjoying their 90s! In addition to dancing, drumming, and singing, attendees enjoyed traditional arts and crafts from a variety of vendors, as well as cultural presentations from the Trails of Awareness Project of Vienna, Illinois.

The event was made possible through a diverse University-Community collaboration, including co-hosts the Native American Student Organization and Native American Studies Minor at SIUC, numerous University departments and offices who lent their support, and co-host Carbondale Main Street together with dozens of regional business and organizational supporters.

WSIU would like to thank everyone who supported and attended this extraordinary day.
