Welcome to Continuing Education!

Sending Us Out to Play Since 1970 “For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does just for fun and things that are educational.”

– Penelope Leach

School’s out and the summer is here. As kids we think of summertime as a well-earned break from learning and a time for fun. As a lifelong learner you know education is best when it’s playful. With over 100 Continuing Education classes to choose from, it’s time to show those kids what the summer is really all about.

(I enjoyed) the friendly environment that the teacher developed for the class allowing me not just acquire the knowledge but live it.

ENRICHMENT TOM BRAZIUNAS Tom majored in geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago before earning a Master’s Degree in the realm of paleontology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He holds a doctorate in geology from the University of Washington. Tom conducted research on the carbon cycle and climate at the UW while teaching courses in geology (including dinosaurs), oceanography and geography at South Seattle and North Seattle Colleges. He is currently the Associate Dean of e-Learning at North Seattle College and also teaches hybrid and online college courses on dinosaurs. However, his most important qualification for teaching dinosaurs is not his educational background, but the fact that he still has his toy dinosaur collection from way back some 50 plus years!

Tom loves to travel, especially to places with cool rock and fossil features. Amongst the exciting places he has visited are the feathered dinosaur locales in China, Egg Mountain in Montana, Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta and the Allosaurus-rich Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry in Utah. Tom loves to learn from others, which is why he teaches!

ENRICHMENT

Rip-offs are endemic to our culture. If someone turns out a new kind flashlight, cellphone, or an innovative movie, there will be 15 rip-offs, knock-offs or off-brand copies flooding the market within minutes. This quarter Schlock Cinema takes a close look at filmdom’s low-priced and seldom celebrated imitators.

They won’t hold a candle to the originals, but copycat films are frequently interesting, experimental and make cogent comments on American life and mores that big-budget Hollywood movies are oftentime afraid to utter. This quarter we will be showing: Yonggary (A Korean copy of Godzilla); The Land That Time Forgot (copying Journey To The Center of the Earth); Konga (aping King Kong); and Mother Riley Meets The Vampire AKA Vampire Over London; AKA My Son, The Vampire; AKA Old Mother Riley Meets The Vampire (copying Dracula and The Phantom Creeps, both of which starred Bela Lugosi, who also stars in Mother Riley).

JOYCE MAJOR A burning desire for growth, an inward calling for social change, a need to find her purpose and a curiosity about the world led Joyce to create her own dream; a yearlong trip around the world, but with a twist—she decided not to be a tourist but rather a volunteer.

Spending a month in each country, on all but one continent, she volunteered for projects with which she had no experience, booking travel plans and enlisting in projects by herself that included riding on the Trans-Siberian Express from Beijing to Moscow to Brussels. Joyce now teaches others how to find volunteer projects around the world while making their travel dreams a reality!
