Kindness Boomerang

A short time ago, my wife shared a video clip with me from an organization called Life Vest Inside.  This group was started as a way to spread and share kindness through simple acts, with the idea being that the benefits from such acts can be passed along, person to person, and maybe even come back to you. 
I have always believed in the power of kindess that builds empathy and caring citizens.

Technology in the Classroom

Students today are increasingly exposed to technology as a way of learning and communicating.  Schools make use of technology such as computers for researching and writing, Smartboards for teachers to display and interact with information, along with others. However, could we be making more use of digital technology to engage our students (and even our parents)?
Should blogging, instant messaging, and shared document files be a part of daily learning?

Let me know what you think!
