This proposed blog post will propose homework not only for the students, but also for Dr. Strange (current current events, well, won't be current by next year!)
Blog Post 12:
Events and movements are happening in the world that affect the teaching world, but the connection is rarely made between the event and the teachers. Everyone knows what the OccupyWallStreet movement is, but how is it related to you as a teacher?
Read this article about how teachers are getting involved and the movement's influence on education.
Explore this resource from the New York Times learning network.
Write a post about: how current events (in general, but using OccupyWallStreet as an example) are beneficial in the classroom; how you think the OccupyWallStreet movement is actually affecting the education system, if at all; and create a lesson (different than the New York Times example) to teach your students about the movement.
The website where the first link came from is completely and overly fascinating in itself. I would advise everyone, not only for the class, to explore it and add it to your PLN!
For example, this article relates directly to what we have been learning in EDM310!
Going to keep me on my toes, I see. I haven't read your linked materials, but I will.
