Yesterday I participated (as tech support) in a fabulous activity that Kevin Duncan does with his US history classes every year. Kevin & I were fortunate enough to have worked with Amy Cohen in Costa Rica. She was one of the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court Title IX case Cohen, et. al. v. Brown University. She explained the case, the legal process, and her role in the law suit. Then the students were able to ask her some questions. This year Kevin brought several classes together in our Preforming Arts Center to participate. The students enjoyed this opportunity to learn from someone involved in “making history.”

North Korean Money

I was lucky enough to come across this North Korean 5o Wan bill last Saturday. A friend saw it in a tip jar, and I purchased it from the bartender. I don’t know anything about the bill, other than what is says in Wikipedia. For being 20 years old, the bill is in pretty good condition.

I created this tip for our new teachers, but figured other people might want to know how to do this.

In the ed tech office we love a good practical joke. Well, we love playing them more than having them played on us. See below how what goes around comes around, as super science teacher JP teaches us what happens when you mix dry ice and water in a sealed bottle. Of course, I had to film it.
