Approximately 25 teachers are expected to attend the workshop, which will begin with the presentations by Dr. Jackie Burnside and Dr. Stephanie Browner, from 8:30 - 11:15 a.m. in Rooms 106 and 107 of Hutchins Library.

Burnside, professor of sociology, will explain how a small group of volunteers from Berea College and the community worked together to find facts about the early history of black settlers in Berea and to share the knowledge with others. The information will be distributed through a printed map and a web site.

Browner, assistant professor of English, will present her web site on the African American writer Charles Chesnutt, along with considerations of how this and other literature web sites can be used in teaching at various levels.

Following the presentations, three senior citizens who participated in Burnside's

project will share their stories about local black neighborhoods and churches during a panel discussion over lunch from 11:30 – 1 p.m. in the Oak Room of Boone Tavern Hotel.

Teachers attending the worship will receive "Kentucky's African American Heritage: Historic Black Berea and Interracial Community, 1866-1900's," the map developed by Burnside, and the book "Literature and the Internet: A Guide for Students, Teachers and Scholars," written by Browner and Berea faculty members Stephen Pulsford, associate professor of general studies, and Richard Sears, professor of English and Theatre.

Small group sessions on developing lesson plans using these and other electronic resources in teaching, assisted by faculty in Berea's educational studies department, are scheduled from 1:15 – 3:30, concluding the workshop.
