Last night I taught the Social Media session of my Internet Marketing Now: New Tools & Trends course for SFSU's Integrated Marketing Program. After class one of the students I have the privilege of working with told me he had Googled me and found Classes for Causes. He said he was really interested in the concept and that he was going to follow it. Thanks for believing in the idea, Karolo. I look forward to your participation teaching, learning and being a cause we support.
Karolo is the Development Director at International Rivers. They protect rivers and defend the rights of communities that depend on them. They're right: We all live downstream. Support this cause.
Thanks to Amy for sharing The Lorax and inspiring us to be childlike again. Dr. Seuss on a Saturday morning - What could be better? After you have watched The Lorax, you'll know the answer.
I am about to start teaching my Internet Marketing Now course and am doing research on what new things to include in the course. Another great YouTube video from Michael Wesch at Kansas State University inspires me to think about how we'll be teaching and learning in the future of 5 to 10 years from now.
Check it out in A Vision of Students Today. Even though the video was first posted a year ago, it's still relevant. It brought tears to my eyes because of how powerful it is. Thanks Michael. I hope to be able to meet you one day.
On Sundays I like to walk to my local grocery store to pick up any food items we need. I take my own bags and feel good that I am not driving my car. Today I stopped to look at the bulletin board outside the store and noticed this new organization with interesting events starting next week. I was pleasantly surprised to see Teacher With The Bus on the agenda. That guy, Jens-Peter Jungclaussen is definitely up to something and I applaud his drive and commitment to greening our planet. Check out the events coming up through econnovation. The first one is April 18th! I like that name too - econnovation - ecologic + economics + innovation. Inspirational.
