Literacy, Beauty, and Gratitude for What We Have!

Today is a short class period, and I've been wanting us to look at how digital literacies impact our lives, particularly our impressions of beauty. Look at the video which appears on this link, and reflect on what this says to you.

How are children influenced by what they see on screen? How does film impact gender stereotypes and racial and ethnic stereotypes? How can you as a generation of technology experts address these concerns?

On a personal note, it is the day before Thanksgiving, and I'd also like to reflect on my own gratitude list. Here I am able to walk, and I can also write with my right hand now! I guess even though I'm not particularly happy about the accident I had this fall, I now have a different perspective about my own health, and I am more aware of those with disabilities. I am also grateful for your patience and help as I mended, and I'm pleased with our progress on each classroom blog.
