June 24, 2016 • Milwaukee County Post • 17 MKE Plays offering summer jobs and meals to youths MILWAUKEE — MKE Plays will employ six young Milwaukeeans this summer to help offer free, drop-in programming at two newly reconstructed playgrounds. Running Mondays through Thursdays through Aug. 11, the MKE Plays summer programming will engage young people at the city's Arlington Heights playground, 3429 W. Pierce St., and the play space at North 17th and West Vine streets. Milwaukee Public School Recreation will help staff the program and provide employ- ee training, and the city's Earn and Learn program will employ three high school-aged "play leaders" at each site to lead the activi- ties and supervise participants. The Hunger Task Force will offer partic- ipants a free meal at the conclusion of each day's activities.

Marquette studies show disconnect regarding technology use in college classrooms MILWAUKEE — Two separate studies by Robert Shuter, professor emeritus of com- munication studies at Marquette University, and collaborator Pauline Cheong of Arizona State University, show that most American university faculty believe that smartphones, laptops and other digital devices are distractions to attention, learning and participation, and — if per- mitted in the classroom — must be closely monitored. By contrast, most university students indicate that this view is the opposite of what they believe. The studies, published recently in the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication and the journal Communication Education, found that fac- ulty and students are at odds with respect to how they view the value and potential dis- tractions of digital devices in the class- room, how they should be regulated, and the penalties for violating usage rules. Shuter, who is also director of the Center for Intercultural New Media Research, pointed out that this could pose classroom management problems and that students feel staying connected digitally at all times is important not just for their learning, but also for their safety on campus. "While mobile devices are an integral part of every aspect of our lives, they are not getting any closer in being integrated in to university classrooms," Shuter said. Summer Solstice Social to raise funds for Wehr Nature Center accessibility improvements FRANKLIN — Celebrating the longest day of the year, belatedly, visitors to the Summer Solstice Social will enjoy an evening of small-plate dining and desserts, a silent auction, and the traditional lighting of the bonfire from 7 p.m. Saturday at Wehr Nature Center in Whitnall Park, 9701 W. College Ave. New to the fundraising event are a mead tasting and sharing in the north woods tra- dition of making booyah, a bouillon or broth with added meats, vegetables and herbs.

Garden art and picnic items are among the dona- tions. Bid winners will be announced at the end of the evening. At sunset, visitors will cast herbs into the bonfire to ensure a future of good for- tune or a prosperous harvest. Eventgoers also will be invited to add their choice of chopped summer vegetables to the commu- nity kettle of booyah cooking over the fire."We have a real neighborly feel to this event," Nature Center Director Debra McRae said. "It's only fitting. Our goal is to make Wehr more inclusive through accessi- bility improvements so that people of all abilities can reap the benefits of being immersed in nature."
