Character Education: Understanding Girls' Friendships and Conflicts
Date: Thursday, October 30, 2008
Time: 3:30 p.m.. - 5:00 p.m. ET
Target Grade Levels: Grades K-6 Educators
Brought to you by the National Liberty Museum! Educators are increasingly aware of and concerned about the impact of cliques and girls' unique ways of dealing with friendships, conflict and aggression on classroom dynamics, social interactions, and girls' social and emotional development. This presentation looks at psychological research, popular media portrayals, and teachers' experiences in examining gender differences in girls' and boys' friendships, schoolwork and play patterns. The implications for conflict resolution are explored as well as the developmental differences in expressions of anger and the roles girls assume. Character education strategies will be presented for educators to use in helping girls develop healthy relationships and prevent relational aggression.

Date: October 21, 2008
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET
Target Audience: MAGPI Member Institution Faculty, Staff, Educators, Administrators and Educational Technologists
This seminar explores the best classroom techniques for videoconferencing, virtual field trips and where to find content providers. Although we'll begin with an overview of various virtual field trips, each seminar features a particular content provider. After participating in this session, educators will understand the basic premises of virtual field trips, know how to use the CILC and MyK20 databases to find content providers, and will understand basic videoconference etiquette for educational programs. Participants are encouraged to come with stories of previous virtual field trip experiences or questions about specific content providers.
