• Before You Support Causes, Even Good Ones…

  
  Zoe Weil — Authority: 417
  Last weekend I participated in a breast cancer walk-a-thon. What I appreciated so much about this particular walk-a-thon was the choice of charities to which we could contribute. For years I’ve been asked to support breast cancer walks, and I always ask what organization the money is going to. Often it’s an ...

  feminist blogs — Authority: 162
  Well, dog my cats. For those of you who haven’t already heard, let me repeat that: the Republican National Committee (RNC) has a health insurance plan for their employees that covers abortion.

• The Obama (In)Difference‏ by “Lisa Fritsch”

  
  http://afrospear.wordpress.com/ — Authority: 415
  Commentary submission by Project 21 One word comes to mind for describing Barack Obama’s tenure since last year’s election: indifference . It’s a vast contrast from the  “hope” and “change” Obama peddled to voters on the campaign trail. It’s not that he doesn’t aspire to hope or change. ...

• The Power of Silence

  
  Randy's Blog — Authority: 125
  I believe power comes from the silence.  When you see a great speaker, actor, poet, or musician, they get more power from the pauses then they do the sound.   And nothing does more for your critical thinking than spending some time in the silence. I spend quiet time every morning for a few hours.  No radio, no ...

• Video Games To Add Interest To History?

  
  Platform Nation — Authority: 147
  History isn’t always a students favorite subject, and it doesn’t get any better the older we get either. I can tell you that I am not a fan of most kinds of history. I love the old stuff (Egyptian, Renaissance, Medieval, etc…) but the more recent it is, the more boring it gets (sorry history buffs). Now I will ...

  A Teacher's Education — Authority: 420
  Every once in a while (okay, more often than not), I’ll complete an assignment I give to my students. I do this for a couple of reasons.  One, I want the kids to know that what I’m giving them to do is entirely attainable.  I have two jobs (three if you count the yoga teacher gig), two kids, and half of the ...

• School kills creativity

  
  nikao — Authority: 117
  I watched this Ted talk yesterday and it resonated with me in such a big way. I barely made it through the educational system. It wasn’t geared for people like me. Creative. Mold breaking. Irreverent to the rules. Tactile. Visual. Experiential. I can’t say anything that isn’t said in this video, so watch it. ...

  I was corresponding with an analyst going through the first module of the training program I reviewed earlier this year and the issue of peer review came up.  It remains difficult to manage since most people (either in class or at work) don’t want to make waves, and perhaps more importantly, don’t want to ...
