Bridging the Digital and Cultural Divide

The Internet has become the library of today and the communication hub for sharing email, photos and video.  Providing access, support and tools necessary to successfully navigate the information conduit of today is our goal.

As one of the seniors said in a focus group meeting . . .
"We want to show high school students our world and we want to experience their world".  Technology has become a vital part of our everyday life but not for seniors and they often feel left behind. In an effort to bridge the digital divide for seniors, the program fosters increase mental health, and aptitude through supported and effective use of technology. Many residents love to research old friends contact information, watch video of concerts, shop, email and social media.

Chartwell School

Technology Integration and Curriculum K-12

The technology lab provides the tools for creativity in a supported and user friendly environment.  EasyTech is web-based technology curriculum from www.learning.com which is the core technology base that then allows project based work to flourish. The course management system can be managed remotely, which allows me to administer the entire core curriculum for the school from the school coordinator interface via the web. Using the industry standard tools of the trade for electronic publishing, digital media, video production, sound engineering and animation provide powerful vehicles for expression of ideas and complex concepts.

In collaboration with a generous grandparent the launch of the Digital Photography Program began, with grant funding awarded to Chartwell School.  I worked with Kris Hill and Gerry Davis to develop the Digital Photography Program.  The program provides students with cameras for use during class and a special field trip/classroom set is available for checkout by teachers for use on projects in class and experiential trips.  The program continues to foster creative photographic inspiration through the annual photo contest, which is judged by top photographers in the field.

Media Wall Integration

The Media Wall greets visitors as they enter the lobby of the building.

Comprised of four 50 inch plasma screens that are controlled via server based software that drives digital media content to the individual or groups of screens. 

The software solution that we chose for this project was Omnivex, one of the determining factors for using this software interface and ease of interoperability.
