Cover Story<br />
For LHU senior Tim Burdick,<br />
writing has given him the<br />
opportunity to express<br />
himself and his inner-most<br />
feelings After two international<br />
experiences, he began<br />
to open his heart through his<br />
pen This edition of<br />
Perspective focuses on<br />
several individuals wh o<br />
either have developed<br />
careers from self exp ressi on<br />
or who want to help others<br />
learn to put forth their true<br />
feelings Several of these<br />
individuals spend their lives working toward their passions and have chosen<br />
to step out of the realm of traditional occupations Tim hopes that graduate<br />
school will catapult him onto a career in teaching in which he can continue<br />
to grow in his own writing and help other students understand the value of<br />
self expression<br />
Education faculty sets Clinton County<br />
technology record<br />
Dr Gerald Cierpilowski, LHU chair,<br />
department of elementary and secondary<br />
education, offered a peak<br />
at the classroom of the future as<br />
he became the first teacher in<br />
Clinton County to teach a class in<br />
another state via the Internet.<br />
Cierpilowskl established a connection<br />
with Battleground Middle<br />
School in Battleground, IN, and<br />
together with his wife's aunt,<br />
Caroline Sadeak, a holocaust survivor,<br />
taught severa l middle school classes about the events surrounding her<br />
Journey from a small farming village on the border of Poland to a work camp<br />
in Siberia. The students had read the book, The Endless Steppe: Growing<br />
Up in Siberia by Esther Rudomin Hautzig, and compared and contrasted the<br />
author's experience with that of Mrs. Sadeak's life Chatting in "real time, "<br />
students asked questions through the computer keyboard which were directly<br />
sent to the screen in front of Dr. Cierpilowski and Mrs Sadeak. They in turn<br />
responded immediately to the students' questions, many of which focu sed on<br />
concern for family, possessions, safety, work and treatment. All students had<br />
a terminal from which they viewed the conversation, and questions were<br />
typed on the teacher's keyboard The class was part of Purdue <strong>University</strong>'s<br />
research project documenting survivors of the holocaust Purdue <strong>University</strong><br />
also provided the technological support to the Indiana Middle School.
