Tying real-life to the classroom will be a staple of the modern age. We cannot pretend that the classroom is a separate place, protected from the wiles of the world.
To do this effectively, we need to reach out to our communities to get more ideas than our own. Community leaders may have projects where students can participate in informing their community about local issues. In creating information, students are, in turn, learning to appreciate that information. They are also learning to convey messages effectively.
The conversation begins with us. We can contact others and begin a dialog that will change us, our students, and our community.
The cartoon below relates to how different people perceive media differently.
