GingerSnapz!

I just came back from the local town meeting where we got to hear from Emporia citizens who are truly fired up about a possible city-wide smoking ban.  We’ve been studying and learning about how the democratic process works, so when the kids expressed a deep interest in this, I my mind nearly exploded! 

In this season of political campaigns, as well as great economic upheaval, I really do want my students to be looking at what *they* can do right now, in 4 years, in 8 years, and in 20 years!  Voila, I tuned into LinkTV and found the link to the webpage.  There are many, many terrific videos on here, but I’m sharing this one with you, called What Does Change Look Like? highlighting people who truly is or has made a difference in this world.

Take a look here and I hope you’re able to leave a comment about activism = democracy = change.
