Who is watching them and reading their posts, what are they portraying of themselves, what kind of person do they seem like to others based on what they are posting. If we can get them to think about the others then they will get outside of their little old me bubble. ]]> 2018-05-09 13:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_highsmith/2h00uutfc4yv/wish/259273311 How to expose my first-world kids and students to the realities of other-world issues. https://padlet.com/andrew_highsmith/2h00uutfc4yv/wish/259273319 2018-05-09 13:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_highsmith/2h00uutfc4yv/wish/259273319 I use Channel One News to show my students what is going on in our country and world.
