Great Talk Today

Following the discussion we had today, I feel particularly proud to be part of your Upward Bound experience. As we discussed, you are all part of something very special. You are all someone else's hope: hope for change, hope for progress, hope for the future. Here's an article that I found interesting and related to our discussion today. Extra credit opportunity for the first ten (same as last time). http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/04/traditional-college-debate-white-privilege/360746/

The World Cup is Here!

I am not one of those crazy sports fanatics. Some years I don't care about the NBA (like this year). Most years I don't watch the superbowl. Hockey who? Okay, well this year I did watch the NHL playoffs (hey, that's tough to admit for a Mexican). Anyway, my point here is that my love of the World Cup is not some sports addiction. The World Cup simply kicks butt!

Sorry. I get a little worked up.

Well since I've been teaching this journalism / critcal media literacy class I am all over Twitter, Facebook, etc. Guess what I ran across on Mashable? Well, actually you don't have to guess. Follow this link and find out.

Hint: It has something to do with the World Cup. AND social media.
