Students from Mdm. Thareau’s Class

This Google Map locates the country of origin for the children St. Edward’s students have been working with this summer at College Jean Villar.

School of Education student Cecily Gutierrez and BSS student Iram Gonzalez work with students from Kosovo, Chechnya, and Guadeloupe.

The map indicates that of the 8 of the 12 students in Mdm. Thareau’s class have immigrated to France from 5 different countries.  This parallels the diversity at a school as a whole which has students from over 30 different nations.  This context has enriched the students’ explorations of course content related to societies in transition in general and immigration and education in particular.

The College Jean Villar students created this map during a mapping lesson.  It was fascinating watching the students trying to locate their home countries, then “pinning” the google map.
