ED. Journal - Book Rethinking Classroom: video

The article is not very inspired, simplely because the the videos list there are not really attrative if I am a high school student.
I appreciate the video in class about homosexuality in classroom: The producer cut all different injustice moments at film, advertisement, or pubilc speech to show that we are not born with the homophobia but taught so by the media. And we need to rectify the mistake we already made. Video is powerful AND that's why I choose this article to read. And those videos with injustice message are way more interesting than the movies with the justice title, if the target audience is youth. I feel we need to educate the public speaker, the movie stars and the producers about social justice instead of students in the classroom...
En... I got the list of movies I have to watch now. =P

I like the strategies by Bill Bigelow and Linda Christensen.
More importantly...I found the organization Teaching for Change( the organization to transform schools into centers of justice where students learn to read, write and change the world...).
It's so amazing to find out that other people are doing the same thing...
great hope...=)
