Summer Programs 2009

Two heritage programs (St. Albert, and Spruce Grove) employed 5 students as follows:
  1. One from Ambrose University College
  2. One from UofA Faculty of Arts
  3. One from UofA Campus St. Jean
  4. Two High School students from Edmonton Catholic Schools. 
For more information see blog links below and
In Spruce Grove we also employed 5 K&E students from Spruce Grove Composite High School in our Make Fix and Recycle Program.

Below are links to the blogs heritage student employees worked on.

Blogs Roger worked this summer:


For the first week I was working on the St. Albert job. At that time there were around seventy blogs, now there are ninety-six. Some of these new blogs I had set up (such as Blog Implementations and FACTS Summer 09), though most of them were set up by Luc as French blogs. On the St. Albert job, I was researching and getting into contact with Churches in the area. Before being moved to the Spruce Grove job I had made a list of all the St. Albert Churches and their online histories (the post has since been modified with information on the churches foundings).
On the Spruce Grove job I spent a lot of time doing general administrative work. I set up and modified some of the aspects of the Inspiring Education Conversations (such as inspedpic) as well as taking part in an online conversation myself.
It started to become apparent that if we were going to continue using the blogger module it needed to be organized a bit better. Mr. Ibsen, the summer team, and I had discussions as to what this organization would look like. The fruits of this labor can be found in FACTSnet Index along with the other two Index blogs. This organization should lay the groundwork for those who come after us and make their jobs easier.
Apart from that I still spent time doing research from online history books and over the phone. This work can be found on Tri-Heritage Network and Stony Plain Christmas blogs.

Blogs Jennifer worked on:


For the bulk of the summer I had been familiarising myself with the St. Albert history books, The Black Robe's Vision. The priority of my job was to gather any sort of information on the St Albert Jubilees, from the founding in 1861, 1911, and 1961 to the upcoming 150th anniversary in 2011. Everything I managed to glean was put into the St Albert Jubilee blog. I also spent time creating charts for the various organisations in St. Albert and looking for their histories online to post.

The Alberta Social Studies (Local History) blog was set up to create a standard for FACTS and for Alberta Education. The information in this blog was intended so that in the near future, students in St. Albert would have the opportunity to learn about their own local history. With a Grade 12-to-be in our team, we were able to expand and detail the goals of using St. Albert history as a part of the Grade 12 Social Studies curriculum, and thus, the St. Albert Issues: A historical Perspective was implemented.

Towards the end, I had the opportunity to start writing a few stories on St. Albert history, such as the establishment of the Mission and early Christmasses celebrated in the young St. Albert community. An index of The Black Robe's Vision was also made.
