Re: Obama's inauguration: Class rules the streets of D.C. -

At the beginning of this week, I did a school-wide multimedia broadcast.
Content was the schools "core value" of the month RESPONSIBILITY, a
retrospective look at the young participants in the Civil Rights Movement--
historic footage from UnitedStreaming video library; and consideration of
the Obama/Biden plan on their web site; Obama TV has videos with young folks
expressing themselves.

I thought I posted this earlier, but apparently I didn't! Interesting
article below about the inauguration, students and social media.
There's a nice mention of an independent school as well. Anyone else
doing anything special for the inauguration? I'd be curious to learn
how schools are planning on address this major teachable moment.
