    This is very exciting to see the Transcultural Dialogue begin. In the Penn State art education class last night we discussed the perceptions and questions posted by MTSIFA art students. The Penn State students responded after class to the MTSIFA student posts in DIIGO, and will continue to do so.

    We only saw a couple of responses by the MTSIFA students on the Penn State student blogs (linked at http://explorations.sva.psu.edu/322/blogs.html), and the Uganda blogs did not have entries as of last night to respond. We will keep looking at MTSIFA blogs now also linked at at http://explorations.sva.psu.edu/322/blogs.html)

    PSU students also bookmarked sites about Uganda and stated why. These bookmarked sites and comments are visible in DIIGO. We hope Ugandan students will comment on these posts in DIIGO regarding how well it reflects or does not their lived experience. We also hope that the MTSIFA students DIIGO bookmark sites that reflect their views of the USA and comment in DIIGO why.

    Beginning Nov. 30th, all participants in this project should share an artwork each created inspired from something significant in the dialogues, and use the creation of the artwork as a means of inquiry--of reflective thinking and further broadening or challenging your ideas that you held prior to the dialogue. In sharing (by posting a photo of the artwork in your blog) you should decide how to bring the 3 artworks together from your group (i.e., a remix aesthetics) to create a single collaborative creative artwork of multiple perspectives. This will be posted in VoiceThread for further discussion.

    By Nov. 30th, Dr. Kabiito and I will form groups of 2 from USA and 1 from Uganda since there are 16 students from Penn State and 7 from MTSIFA.
