Pushy Friends

So I got called out this week.  Sitting and having lunch with one of my very best friends and she says, "so what's up with the blog?"  UGGGGG
She knows everything crazy that goes on in my life and she still has to push the buttons. It all evens out though, she tolerates me pushing her too.
We both decided that God loves a good comedy and we are just a modern day Laverne and Shirley for him to tune in to and get some good laughs.
I hope you read this.

Future Crime

Just finished watching TED video with Marc Goodman explaining about future crimes.  I think there could be a class where you could just watch TED videos and discuss them.  They are the most interesting people that get the spotlight. 
In Marc Goodman's he combines law enforcement, technology, and science and he includes the social aspect that engages each and every person to become involved.  What a great cross-curricular lesson this could be and kids would go nuts over it (aka: authentically engaged)
I watched another one with Jane McGonical about gaming to make yourself feel better.  She shares a method she learned that help heal herself.  Come on educators - use these in your class, not an excuse why you can't.
The lingering feeling I get after I watch a TED video is.....I wish I was that smart.
