The Oakridge School Video Production Class Presents the 2013 Dubliners Colloquium Trailer!!

Thank you to Melissa Triebwasser and her Oakridge Video Production class for putting together some highlights from the 2013 Dubliners Colloquium which took place Wednesday, February 6th, at The Oakridge School campus.  The Video Production students worked very hard to capture some of the many magical moments from the day's academic festivities.

Once again, thanks to everyone from all the schools for making last Wednesday such a wonderful success. We look forward to next year's plans to do something similar - yet more expansive - with William Shakespeare's Richard III. For now, please enjoy the video!

To Mr Colley and The Oakridge School: Thank you!!

Speaking for the presenters and participants from The Hockaday School, thank you very much for the many hours of hard work, expansive imagination, and dedication that made yesterday's colloquium such a fine success. As a teacher, I was proud of all of the students who attended: those who presented papers, those who asked provocative questions leading to engaged conversation, and those who respectfully  absorbed the intellectual activity--and friendship--that surrounded us all. And as a teacher I learned a great deal from the scholarship of so many, an energy that makes such conferences exciting intellectual and social occasions The event was, from beginning to end, colloborative (just as you so eloquently described it), providing a model for learning and teaching in the 21st century, a way of sharing ideas inclusively, so that the contribution of each person grew in meaning by its connection to the whole.

We're all looking forward the next event!
