Family Diversity Projects :: Technical Specifications for Our Exhibits - 0 views

  • Physical description Each exhibit comes with approximately 20 photographs. They are all museum quality framed with plexiglas covering, wires on back to hang. Size of each photograph framed is 16 inches by 20 inches and they weigh approximately 2 pounds. They can be hung on walls or portable room dividers, or placed on tables with bookstands (or table easels) or on floor easels. You can use all of them in one place, divide them into separate showings, or whatever works for your space needs. We can talk to you specifically about your individual situation. Each exhibit has different configurations of text, but generally each photograph has one or two pieces of long interview text 11 inches by l7 inches (vertical). They are thickly laminated and have string on the back to hang them on walls under or alongside their matching photograph. They can also be placed flat on a table if you use tabletop easels for the photographs, or hung off of floor easels. Many exhibits have additional "quotes" that are 11 inches (wide) by 8 inches (hung horizontally) and are written in larger fonts. These can be used in addition to the longer text, for people who might not read the full text, or in place of the longer text depending on the venue and situation (i.e. a conference). For schools, you might not need to use the quotes. It is up to each venue to decide how to use the text. In Our Family exhibit also has a K-2 text, which is also 11 x 8 inches and has a simple description of the family structure in age-appropriate language. Nothing To Hide just has 2-3 quotes per family, rather than a long text. For complete texts, the accompanying books have the longer interviews available. How to display the exhibits It's actually quite simple and doesn't take long to do. With all our photo-text rental exhibits, the photos and text are ready to hang with wires on the back. If you have wallspace, you just hang the photos and text as you would any art show, using nails or pushpins. Ideally, if you have a gallery space, you would have at least 60 linear feet, but this isn't a requirement at all. You could double hang the photographs. Some groups divide up the 20 photographs and put them in different areas of a building as well. If you use tables, you will need small table easels to hold the photographs and you can put the text right on the tables. Floor easels can also work, and we've even seen music stands used. Some folks rent or borrow room dividers/portable bulletin boards and hang the exhibit on both the back and front of them. (They must have wood backs, not corkboard, as the photos weigh about 2 pounds and you need the nail to go in solidly). We are happy to talk to you about your individual situation and make suggestions, as we've seen it all!

      They've done our work for us! They describe all the material we need!
  • we often encourage groups to sponsor panel discussions, or a speaker, when the photo-text rental exhibit is at a particular location, or to use a diversity education trainer to prepare a group or school staff for an upcoming exhibition period.

Social Bookmarking in Education with Diigo - 1 views

  • if you install the Diigo toolbar, or toolbar button, you have the ability to highlight text and pictures in a variety of colors, or add sticky notes to a bookmarked page. With this feature you can annotate web pages with thoughts, ideas or additional information. All these notes are saved for the next time you access the saved bookmark, and anyone else you share the bookmark with, (students or teachers), will also see your annotations. It is a great way to focus attention on a large article.

      I've used the highlighting tool with 3rd graders. I highlighted the area that contained the information I wanted them to find.
  • Your Diigo bookmarks can be public, or private, and there are numerous options for sharing with individuals, groups
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • With Diigo Educator accounts, the privacy settings, by default, limit communication to that of classmates and teachers only. Lastly, students in the same class are automatically set up as a group, so all saved bookmarks can instantly be shared with peers
  • The real bonus of using social bookmarking with your class is the ease that you can work on project based learning tasks.
  • Bookmarks can be organized within group to cover several different projects, and the chance to archive for next year's class is a great time saver for teachers.
