GCC Presents Free "Digital Storytelling," Feb. 23
On Wed., Feb. 23, Glendale Community College Communication Professor Dr. Holly McKinzie Beene will demonstrate and discuss the art of "Digital Storytelling: The Back Porch of New Media." The free program will be presented at 7:00 p.m. in the Glendale Public Library Auditorium, 5959 W. Brown. Digital Storytelling is a blend of memory, mementos and new technologies available to anyone with access to a computer. Founded on the premise that each of us is creative, original and has something important to say, the program will show how a strong personal voice lends meaning and power to small amateur narratives. Learn how to rescue your memories from lonely lives in unorganized boxes, albums and computer folders bursting with digital images, and capture the small stories that make up our lives! For more information, call 623.930.3550.
GCC Prof. is Named Outstanding Latino Faculty of the AAHE
Dr. René Díaz-Lefebvre, psychology professor at Glendale Community College, has been named the 2005 Outstanding Latino Faculty in Service/Teaching in Higher Education. The award is given by the Hispanic Caucus of the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE), and recognizes an individual who has provided outstanding service through creation or expansion of a program, innovative programming and excellent instruction. Díaz-Lefebvre was the first to apply Dr. Howard Gardner's now-famous research into Multiple Intelligences to actual college classrooms where students are given creative Learning Options that allow them to absorb class material in innovative ways. His ten-year-old program at GCC, called Multiple Intelligences/Learning for Understanding (MI/LfU) has twice been nominated for the prestigious Bellwether Award from the Community College Futures Assembly. He has written books in both English and Spanish describing the MI/LfU program and has lectured widely in the U.S. and abroad. His books have been translated into several other languages as well. Díaz-Lefebvre will receive his award at the AAHE Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 17, 2005.
