HBS Film & Discussion Event: Grandmother To Grandmother:
3:00pm - 5:00pm
No location specified
The Department of Health and Behavior Studies at Teachers College will present John Ankele’s documentary film, “Grandmother To Grandmother: New York to Tanzania,” which won a CINE Golden Eagle in July 2009. Co-director and co-producer John Ankele and two other members of the project will talk about their experiences in making the film and lead a discussion about this critical topic, which examines the lives of grandmothers on two continents who are living with the effects of AIDS in their families and communities. According to the film’s directors, in Sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS is wiping out a generation of parents, leaving 13 million orphans behind. A similar thing is happening in cities all across America —AIDS, drugs and violence are wiping out a generation of parents, leaving millions of children behind. Grandmothers, often impoverished themselves, are rescuing the children and struggling to raise them. This film introduces two projects—one in the Bronx, one in Tanzania —and tells the stories of how community partnerships are working to transform situations fraught with confusion and fear into opportunities for renewal and hope.

Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and School
7:00pm - 9:00pm
229 Thompson Hall
Allan Collins, Northwestern University , will discuss new technologies, the learning opportunities that now challenge traditional schools and colleges, and how people are learning with the aid of new technologies (playing complex video games, taking online courses for advanced degrees, commercial learning centers for test preparation, etc.) How people think about education is changing as they can decide what they want to learn, when they want to learn, how they want to learn and where they want to do it. These changes demand a new kind of educational leadership and changing roles for government. New leaders will need to understand the affordances of the new technologies, and have a vision for education that will bring the new resources to everyone. Refreshments will be served.
