Saving Lives



Valuable discovery to save lives!

Nutritionists innovated food for malnourished children that doesn’t require refrigeration, water, cooking and it has minerals and vitamins. Student can discuss other solutions to eradicate World Hunger.
I can't imagine what is like to live in a place where people have no electricity, water, and food.

Human rights report released



Emerging Powers for World Peace!

This news video reports on a dark side of our society. Many people may not want to talk about it because it is sad. However, I found that the issue this video points out is something we can use to bring global awareness into the classroom. We could discuss further the causes and the impacts of this issue as well as what solutions we could implement in order to create a peaceful society.

This video emphasizes a significant aspects of social study. “Human rights and freedom” – This news report brings attention to the importance of sharing visions, collective leadership as well as the necessity of courage and commitment in realizing the human rights that the United Nations adopted 6 decades ago.

Which Technologies will shape education in 2008?

After powerful web2.0 tools and other web applications were born, individual participation in web publishing has increased. This is especially true for those who grew up with computers who use them so naturally. Imagine, how much content is published online daily, audio, video, flash animated content, and other content produced collaboratively are easily created by using web2.0 tools. Current education is adapting to use these new online technological tools in teaching and learning. I wonder about whether or not we are too focused on trying out new tools rather than the content of the subjects.
