From Maayan: 

 

Here's the link to the video I had in mind that is a fun example of using 'art' as a powerful tool for creating positive change; incase teachers might want to share this in their classes. It's called 'Plastic State of Mind', music video parody created by my ACE friend from CA, AshEl, as his DOT (Do One Thing, to help the environment and cool the climate): http://vimeo.com/16342464

FW: Smart, and Savvy Digital Interactions-Advisory Lessons

Subject: Smart, and Savvy Digital Interactions-Advisory Lessons

 

Hello Everyone,

 

Today I will be distributing internet safety lessons during our Friday meeting (if you are not there I'll place in your mailbox).  John and the city would like us to do these.  There are four lessons that are EXTREMELY user friendly and I think will really engage our students...and yes...even YOU! 

 

 Each grade will receive one of the four lessons, however, you are welcome to visit the website and (download) use all four lessons with your advisory. They work very well for each grade level.  

 

The lessons are as follows:

9th grade =  Private Today, Public Tomorrow (all about digital footprint)

10th = Risky Online Relationships 

11th =College Bound

12th = Taking Perspectives on Cyberbullying

 

The site to goto to get better copies of these lesson plans (I think I used last bit of toner to copy these)

or to access the accompanying links to videos for the 11th and 12th grade lesson is:

You can also contact the organization if you have questions or want additional free educational resources

at schools@commonsense.org

 

Best wishes,

Maria

Subject: the Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito bullying case from the NFL

Hello All,
If you have been/did/are going to discuss the Jonathan Martin/Richie
Incognito bullying case from the NFL in your advisories, you might have had
some of the kids (as I did) asking at what point someone is complaining vs.
airing grievances, when ribbing becomes harassment, and what is team bonding
vs. bullying, and questions of "manliness". I heard about this article on
ESPN radio today, gave it a read, and Mark Schlereth (former OL--same
position as Incognito and Martin--for the Redskins and Broncos and current
ESPN analyst) did a pretty accessible, cogent, and thoughtful job of summing
up how this is different from normal locker room hazing and what he found
particularly repugnant and distinctly un-"manly" about this case, if you
were interested in the wake of the Ted Wells report being published.

Enjoy y'all's breaks.

FW: Good TED talk on the teen brain

 

This is a good TED talk on the teen brain. Studies show adolescents aren't easily able to consider another's point of view or perhaps and I may be stretching here --recognizing  their impact on groups/ in community etc.

I think its worth watching and discussing methods to work with their little developing prefrontal cortexes
