Dennis Swender's insight:
Jensen's 2006 article helps substantiate many of the same concerns raised by Paul Gorski's "Good Intentions Are Not Enough" article (http://www.edchange.org/publications/decolonizing-final.pdf) and "Social Justice: Not Just Another Name for 'Diversity''' blog. Jensen posits, "In practice, this means that one is supposed to present material that takes no explicit position on which policies should be implemented in the existing system, but one is not supposed to step back and ask whether that existing system itself is coherent or moral." Sort of reminiscent of Milgram's "obedience" revelations.

This interactive map, produced by University of Georgia historian Claudio Saunt to accompany his new book West of the Revolution: An Uncommon History of 1776, offers a time-lapse vision of the transfer of Indian land between 1776 and 1887. As blue “Indian homelands” disappear, small red areas appear, indicating the establishment of reservations (above is a static image of the map; visit the map's page to play with its features).

Dennis Swender's insight:
This blog was one of the sites referenced in Mod 2's Classroom Connect segment, "FYI: Incorporating Social Justice Issues into the Unum."
This from Paul Gorski: "I have watched diversity and equality and inclusion be appropriated by people and institutions wishing to sprinkle them with glitter and feign the appearance of institutional change, the same way so many people use Safe Space stickers."

We’re excited to tell you about some relatively small changes that we think will have a really big impact on how easily you use the Prezi Editor. You’ll notice these changes in your online and desktop editor over the next few weeks. All the tools you know and love are still there, but we’ve moved them around a bit to better fit with how you work. Via Baiba Svenca

Ibrar Bhatt writes: "Digital curation therefore is not just about finding relevant material, although that is a significant part of it, but is also about creating a specific and unique experience by utilising the resulting materials which then become contextualised within a new space. A curator, therefore, whether she is a journalist-by-proxy such as Popova or a student completing an assignment in a classroom, not only collects and interprets, but also creates a new experience with it. In this respect, curation is a process of problem solving, re-assembling,re-creating, and stewardship of other people’s writing." Via Mary Reilley Clark

Yes. I know this event occurs on the last day of class, July 19 at 5 pm! However...if you need extra points and bring your own tech device, you'll still have 2.5 hours to submit before the close of class at 7:30 pm.
On the other hand, points may be over-rated. Just come and enjoy -or- select one of the later dates and times.
