Mr. Shardlow's Opus (and Mr. Corey's too)

Kudos to the teachers at Frank H. Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth, Maine, who have set up a Wiki for their eighth-grade students to produce webpages about civil rights--including disability rights. The idea is nifty--a wiki is a great tool for collaboration, and (after registering) parents and community members are invited to join in gathering and organizing information about the history, law, and cultural aspects of various civil rights movements. In conjunction with the online aspect of their study, students are also creating exhibits for a "Civil Rights Museum," which will be open to the public on the evening of June 5. If you can't make it to the exhibit (kind of a long commute for me, from Southern California to Maine), at least tour the disability rights movement pages that the Harrison students are creating:
  • Pat, Elizabeth, and Smythe from Rod Corey's class have a page called Rights of the Disabled, which currently features short profiles of Ed Roberts, John Tyler, Jeff Moyer, Gabriela Brimmer, Dorothea Dix, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah; as well as sections about laws and historical eras.
  • Catie, Read, and Alicia from Bill Shardlow's class have a page called Laws Affecting Disabled Americans--section titles include "Disability Discrimination," "Disabled and Sports," "Quotes," and "Quick Facts."
Pat, Elizabeth, Smythe, Catie, Read, and Alicia, great work! You're learning stuff about disability that most adults don't understand yet, and you're learning it in the context of civil rights--that's terrific. Mr. Corey, Mr. Shardlow, and the other Harrison Middle School eighth-grade teachers are doing fine work. I've taught middle school, and I'm really impressed with this project. Maybe you can drop them a note if you agree.

The word "shanzhai" is very popular in China. It is industry phenomenon of imitation, high quality and low price. Moreover, cell phones are the representative of them.The global financial crisis led to a significant shrinkage of assets for people. "china wholesale" demonstrate the might. most of them would like buy the cheap cell phones now .

Through google search engine, when you put in "discount cell phones", you will find more than 15,000 pieces of related information. Cell phone china has been concerned in the world. Many international sellers can get a considerable profit by ways of wholesale cell phones from China and switch selling. So it is a very good job on cell phones wholesale in the current financial crisis.
