Learning at the Border Timnah Card Gretencord, Sunny Jeong, Karyn Mendoza, Ching-Chiu Lin, Claudia Serbanuta, Michelle Cruz-Santiago, Laura Lowe, Ann Bishop, & Bertram (Chip) Bruce University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Background John Dewey, “The School as Social Centre” (1902) Jane Addams et al., Hull House Community inquiry: of, by, and for communities

Three senses of border learning Occurs between the highly-structured realm of schools and life in neighborhoods, e.g., after-school programs, boys & girls clubs, libraries, museums, and community centers The lived experiences of program participants on the borders of society; marginalized because of their language, cultural background, race, or social class The learning done by all participants

This paper Two programs in which universities and communities collaborate to create border- bridging spaces Young people have fun, learn about new technologies, and develop academic potential through self-expression and self understanding. They learn how to use ICTs to promote community building => become junior community informatics researchers Challenges for enabling community participation; insights across multiple sites

Urbana Middle School Collaboration with UI Extension, GSLIS Grades 6-8 students developed audiovisual podcasts on topics of their choice over a semester. Mexican-American families, low-income, low academic achievement, low computer experiences After school and Saturdays Post-program surveys and interviews; parent interviews

page 2 This page is about my ■ interests □ friends □ family □ cultural background Please explain: I like outdoor activities, such as biking and hiking. 1. Bring in some pictures. 2. Learn how to scan my pictures. I like hiking and biking. I went mountain biking in Oregon last summer, and it was a amazing trip that I have ever had. Biking in Oregon I want people to SEE… In order to see the above pictures, I need to prepare and learn…. I want people to HEAR… Page5 The most □ important or ■ greatest □ funniest thing that has happened to me was: I came to the United States to study! 1. A digital camera 2. Ask the teacher to take a photo of myself 3. Learn how to make my photo shows up on the computer. The greatest thing that has happened to me was I came to the United States to study. I am glad my dream came true and I really enjoy my life here. Me in Urbana Storyboard of making podcast

UMS student podcasts

Graduate student learning Working with students... was an inspiring journey for me to appreciate Hispanic culture and revisit my own cultural identity... I tried to put myself in these students’ shoes, imagining how difficult may be for these immigrant young people to live and study in a new country. I brought my own “away-from-home” experience into designing the sample storyboard... I came to understand that I was telling my own story to these students as a self exploration journey... the students and I were interchangeably engaging multiple forms of communication, including visual, gesture, and verbal modes.

B.T. Washington Afterschool Program ile?user=LIS490CIC07 UIUC ile?user=LIS490CIC07 UIUC Created in 2006 at urgent request of immigrant families in Shadowwood Began with support from BTW school, Latino Partnership, Shadowwood owners Funds of knowledge theory Partners: Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club; Scouts; UI La Casa Cultural Latina; UI Family Resiliency Center; Annie Abbott’s Spanish class

BTW program goals Help at-risk children in north Champaign succeed in school? Develop better connections between immigrant families and community institutions & resources? Create a new platform for action research and service-learning at UI? Extend community funds of knowledge theory with stories and technology?

BTW activities Establish & run afterschool program 4 days/week 40 children (K-7) 90 volunteer tutors each semester Data: Participant-observation, daily tutor reflections and teacher reports, tutor and teacher focus groups, parent meetings

BTW technologies What We Know Could Fill a Book Story Studio - Family Resiliency CenterStory Studio Children’s PowerPoint posters and presentations Community Treasures summer pilot program (family videos) Our own technologies: BTW iLab website; FaceBook; listserv; Observing and reflecting on technology use in BTW and Shadowwood

Youth Community Informatics 1. Unmet ICT needs relating to health, education, economic development, & community building 2. Untapped funds of knowledge (Moll, et al.) 3. Community/university collaboration can bring together knowledge across diverse experiences 4. Education & community development work best when people from diverse backgrounds learn together & from each other 5. Engagement in these collaborations can open doors to learning & career possibilities for community & university participants

Applied to LIS recruiting 1. Active learning related to LIS and facets of LIS that are truly meaningful 2. Significant interaction with professionals 3. Focus on community involvement, not just on individuals 4. Democratic engagement of participants in design, implementation, & evaluation

Modules Computer basics 2. Storage and memory 3. Operating Systems 4. Local Area Networking 5. Wide Area Networking 6. The Internet

Modules Multimedia and podcasting 8. Exploring Spaces: Going Places 9. Video game design 10. Finding Books to Read 11. Connecting Children with Books 12. Ethical Issues

Findings Each community has its own ethics, habits, community readiness, and facilities; different visions of technology Pedagogy, & contextualization strongly influence youth response Trust depends on how the program matches community values Physical facilities and legal concerns place limitations on activities (field trips; Macs v PCs) Increased motivation, usage, skills, and material access to ICTs across community borders can facilitate social reform ICTs can fit into existing social structures, but their use simultaneously transforms these structures Two-way learning is possible

Conclusion Students... connect the individual and the social by creating based on their experiences reflect on the nature of their interests, strengths, loyalties, social networks develop material, cause, and direction in the development of a critical consciousness of their social heritage and social roles The community is the theory
