Blended Learning Series - TOMORROW
Blended learning has come to mean everything from web-enhanced face-to-face learning to, but not including, courses that are fully online. Integrating online technologies can enhance and enrich learning; online tools also help differentiate instruction.

The Blended Learning Series, co-sponsored by IT, is offered from 8:30-10:00 on Third Wednesdays in Lindell 202, and includes the following spring workshops:
January 18 – Digital Video and Audio Tools (Scott Krenz and Nathan Lind)

The Humanities and Democracy
Martha Nussbaum's Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities, organized by Marty Stortz and Merilee Klemp.
In this brief, but rich book, Martha Nussbaum argues the importance of the humanities to democracy. She believes that Americans increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable and empathic citizens. She argues that this focus on profitable skills has eroded our ability to criticize authority, reduced our sympathy with the marginalized and different, and damaged our competence to deal with complex global problems. The loss of these basic capacities jeopardizes the health of democracy.
Faculty and staff are invited to participate in sessions to discuss this book and take a trip to St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN to hear Nussbaum lecture on February 23rd. By asking faculty/staff to lead each session, we hope not only to discuss her thesis, but to demonstrate it. Sessions will be held:
January 17, OGC 113, 3:40-5:00 pm – 1: The Silent Crisis (Marty Stortz & Merilee Klemp) and 2: Education for Profit, Education for Democracy (Jacqui DeVries)
January 31, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm –3: Educating Citizens and 4: Socratic Pedagogy (Phil Adamo & Matt Haines)
February 7, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm - 5: Citizens of the World and 6. Cultivating Imagination (John Schmit)
February 21, OGC 100, 3:40-5:00 pm –Implications for Augsburg (Marty Stortz & Merilee Klemp)
February 23, 7:30 pm, Mitchell Auditorium, St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN – "Why Democracy Needs the Humanities" (Martha Nussbaum)
To register for this book group, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).
Social Learning
David Brooks' The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Virtue; led by Jacqui DeVries.
Wednesday, January 25, 12:15-1:15, OGC 100 – Ch. 1-6
Thursday, February 23, 3:10-4:30, OGC 100 – Ch. 7-12
Wednesday, March 28, 12:15-1:15, OGC 103 – Ch. 13-18
Thursday, April 19, 3:10-4:30, OGC 100 – Ch. 19-22
New York Times columnist Brooks attempts in The Social Animal to explain why so many of our contemporary social problems and inequalities have proven so intractable. Weaving insights from sociology, psychology, history and brain science into an engaging narrative reminiscent of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile (a classic study of how people learn), Brooks tries to "explain how these findings about the deepest recesses of our minds should change the way we see ourselves, raise our kids, conduct business, teach, manage our relationships and practice politics." His work is certainly not without critics, but his insights and findings can be valuable to educators, who grapple on a daily basis with the implications of his observation that "we're not rational animals, or laboring animals; we're social animals. We emerge out of relationships and live to bond with each other and connect to larger ideas."
To register for this book group, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

CTL Night at the Theater – February 9
During both fall and spring semesters, CTL buys tickets to an Augsburg theater production and offers them to faculty, staff, and their significant others. Theater offers a unique way of learning or knowing – from stories that touch our hearts and mind. Experiencing it together adds a social dimension that allows us to discover what the stories mean to others and what new possibilities they see. Through theater we can be healed and transformed, as well as entertained. In addition to the performance, participants engage in an informal reception and discussion with the director and cast. All productions are in the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater. This spring, we have reserved tickets for:
February 9, 2012 - 365 Days/365 Plays, Directed by Martha Johnson
In the fall of 2002, Suzan-Lori Parks (Pulitzer-prize winning playwright) decided to take on the challenge of writing one play a day for a full year. 365 Days/365 Plays is the successful result, featuring 365 short plays whimsically exploring such divergent topics as sex, war, fairy tales, Indian mythology, American historical figures, love, politics, race, contemporary celebrities--and numerous other issues from American life. The world premiere of these plays was an extraordinary event: From 2006 to 2007 more than 700 theaters in major cities across America performed various pieces or sections from Parks' cycle. This production we will include selections from this body of work to create an entertaining, thought-provoking, and imaginative assortment of contemporary theater pieces.
Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to attend this production, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu).

TITANIC ORCHESTRA AUDITIONS!

Directed by Barbra Berlovitz
AUDITIONS: January 18th (3:30pm-6:30pm) and 19th (6:30-9:30pm)
Callbacks January 20th
IN THE GREEN ROOM
A story of four vagabonds living at an abandoned little railway station, forgotten by God and people, where no train has stopped for a long time. Everything changes when a chest is thrown out of a passing train, and a mysterious individual emerges from it.
The four inconspicuous heroes of the play philosophize, lightly and unpretentiously, about what is the truth, where are the limits between reality and fiction, what reality really is. Boytchev's funny little people are dreamers full of profound feelings, searching for themselves and trying to find their connections with the world. A perspicuous, bitter-funny and very subtle diagnosis of the condition of the contemporary man.
FOR AUDITIONS:
Please prepare 2 pieces
-A short monologue of modern text- your choice
-A silent piece with a prop
THE TOTAL TIME OF BOTH PIECES TOGETHER SHOULD BE NO LONGER THAN 2 MINUTES!
Please be ready to fill out a schedule and conflict sheet upon auditions

My name is Lauren and I am selling Girl Scout Cookies again this year. Our troop goal is 600 boxes and we will be using the money to go to spring camp and to buy supplies for our Bronze Award activities. The Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn and our community project to earn this award is to develop a relationship with the residents at a local senior living center. We spend time with them reading, talking, playing Bingo, and making crafts, and we plan to build a portable garden cart to move between the rooms.
If you would like to order cookies, please send your email address to GSTroop12899@hotmail.com and we will send out an online order email on Feb 11th - the first day cookies go on sale! We will deliver on Tuesdays/Thursdays around 4pm and anytime between 9am-8pm on Saturdays. If those times do not work, we can make other arrangements.
The price is $3.50 per box and payment is due on delivery.
We are also accepting cookie donations for the US Troops and the ICA Food Shelf.
Thanks!
