"Out of These Doors" 7th Graders Visit Cleveland...in Their Classroom!
The
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's IVC outreach program goes out to a broad audience every year. Their 2006 Annual fiscal report claims that their educational programs, both in house and over distance, reach over 50,000 students a year. It's not hard to see why, after facilitating University School of Nashville's experience with their "On the Road" series program, "Rock and Roll through the Ages" videoconference. Here's a slideshow of pics:
and here's a very brief video from the interaction, in which R&R Educational Coordinator John Goehrke welcomes our students as the R&R Hall of Fame's very first IVC in the state of Tennessee!

Classical Music at Vanderbilt Virtual School!
On December 10, 2007, students in Judy Yeaworth's high school Music Theory class were treated to a wonderful hour of classical music by a professional chamber orchestra called
Alias. The activity was
offered by the
Vanderbilt Virtual School, and was nothing short of marvelous.
I have a good deal of audio and video from that interaction and as soon as I can make sense of any of it I will be posting more here!

TheatreLink Kicks off for 2007!
USN's participation in the Manhattan Theatre Club's "TheatreLink" program has begun, this year with a wonderful hour of chat with MTC's Chris Ceraso--actor, writer, teacher and mentor. There will be comments here soon that will more fully describe the event, but I want to go ahead and post the video for the sake of celebrating it. The video is only one small portion of the conversation that ensued. You'll have to imagine the rest!
