Blogging about the reader-thing #5

So I'm laying bed learning about the reader thinking to myself, how can I use this. Well I really don't know the answer. As I went through the reader and actually read through some of the blogs, it dawned on me that there are so many things that I can do. Hello current events. In my family we have this time where we discuss about how things are going in our lives. What we are not happy about, what tickles us pink and how the world effects us at that moment. There are so many areas where this can be applied. I wondered if I can get my kids to actually use this and apply it daily. That will be a feet it's self. Getting them to get in touch with the outside world open their minds and raise their own expectations for the year. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it. I'm ambitious and have high expectations for all of my students. I know that most people do not get to experience the world like we would all like, however this tool can help us experience the world from own homes. I was reading the New York Times and saw many different stories that fascinated me. I read World Cup Strikes and thought to myself, "Is Africa really that far behind?". South Africa is a hub industry and fashion and they are first chosen in Africa to host an event like the world cup on the continent. Growing up I saw the world (on TV) played in France, Mexico, and the US. I realized how powerful this tool is after thinking that to myself. I just travel half way around the world in pajamas.
