Karen Ellis, Founder of the Educational CyberPlayground, an online portal for
K-12 education with over 11,000 members, will be featured in a series of
interviews on Destination DIY starting November 27th. She will be discussing
the National Children's Folksong Repository (NCFR), an online library which is
collecting playground songs, jump rope chants, circle games and other songs
from children around the US to help preserve oral culture. NCFR was created to
collect and preserve children's culture, and it is set up to be easy to
contribute and use. Karen Ellis uses technology to make it easy for students to
contribute:
"Get Ready, Get Set, GO -- This happens so quickly. Use your cell phone, camera
or computer to record and then send your music file or video to the Educational
CyberPlayGround. We will put it up online for everyone to hear !!"
Destination DIY is a popular Oregon-based radio show and podcast which talks
about "revolutionary do-it-yourself projects" and how creative people are
making projects with impact using limited resources. The interviews by
Destination DIY's Julie Sabatier will be featured in Oregon Public Radio
(91.5FM) on the November 27th and December 4th shows at Noon PST and
rebroadcast on December 1st and 8th at 8PM PST. Listeners outside of Oregon can
listen online at http://www.opb.org/radio. Podcasts of the shows will be
available after the broadcasts at http://destinationdiy.org/ .
Teachers, students and families can visit http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/NCFR to
listen to playground songs from around the world, and can contribute their own
by calling 1 - 877 - 220 - 0262 .
