The story of three friends from Galveston, Tex., seems less a tribute to upward mobility than a study of obstacles in an age of economic inequality.

Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
Racing to the Top and Testing in order to hold behind those that are behind (NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND) leaves many students with other personal struggles extremely challenged to move forward into that upward mobility. Class and poverty does not figure into these top down challenges being placed on these students.

What we have for you today is a great series of videos on critical thinking. As a teacher, you can use these videos with your students to start a discussion on what it means to think critically and introduce them to the concept of logical fallacies. The videos are animated in such a way that your students will find it easy to grasp hard concepts .Enjoy Via Susan Bainbridge, Jaime Salcedo Luna, Ramon Aragon, Official AndreasCY, Education 4 Conservation

"So, how do you tell a story in the digital age that stands out, captures people’s attention and gets them to act, engage with your institution? My favourite story for quite some time now and one I’ve been showing in workshops around the world is the story of the Troy public library." Ok -- the author here isn't writing anything revolutionary. So you can skim the text. But watch the 2.5 minute video! It's the reason I selected this piece.
The video is brilliant -- and a perfect example of how story triggers can make a difference in social causes and social cause marketing.
The video is about a library. It is controversial. Now I am a big fan of libraries so I was rooting for it (my personal bias). And the video itself is a really good example of a digital story.
I say 'story triggers' because the library used story elements and metaphors that sparked stories within the viewer's/reader's brains. The library did not actually tell a full-blown story yet the public reaction was immediate and powerful.
Go watch the video! Then share what you think.

In the run up to TEDxEaling 2012, we will be sharing the very best TED talks on story, creativity and imagination. Updated three times a week.
I've curated earlier that this TED-X event devoted to storytelling was happening and wishing I could go. In marketing the event, the organizers have put together this list of the best of TED videos related to storytelling.
Some I've curated here, some are new to me (oh goody! new stuff to explore!). What's missing are the videos by Brene Brown, Bobette Buster, Jane McGonigal, and Amy O'Leary that are part of the Just Story It collection. So add these to the list!
Enjoy exploring this list and if I find ones here that I like, I'll curate them too. And let me know which ones you like!

This story explains a disturbing trend I've witnessed. Upward mobility is not yet impossible, but the climb from poverty is far more difficult than is generally acknowledge.
