Then we would interview a couple of celebrity guests, bring on a musical act, a stand-up comic and maybe do some improv comedy.

As a military tank approached, one lone figure stood defiantly against the force, sending a message to the world the freedom and liberty were worth fighting for.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.freedomcollection.org/news/2013/06/the-freedom-collection-remembers-tianamen-square/">George W. Bush Institute's Freedom Collection</a> program coordinator, Christopher Walsh, commemorated the historical date:<br /><blockquote>The Tiananmen Square protests began as a student-led, pro-democracy uprising.  Lasting for several weeks, the demonstrations attracted people from different segments of society hoping to pressure the government on democratic reform.  The protest culminated on June 4, 1989 when the Chinese military dispersed demonstrators with tanks and lethal force.<br /><br />One of those demonstrators was <a href="http://www.freedomcollection.org/regions/asia/china/fang_zheng/">Fang Zheng</a>, who lost both of his legs in the crackdown.  For resisting government coercion to sign a written statement suggesting the incident at Tiananmen was an “accident,” Fang was denied his college degree.    This tragedy, however, did not dampen Fang’s spirit.  He became involved in wheelchair athletics and used his profile to advocate for human rights in China.  In his Freedom Collection interview, Fang remembers the moment when a Liberation Army tank ran him over, severing his legs</blockquote>Tiananmen Square. Those of us who sat in front of TV screens and watched it unfold in 1989 will never forget.

It can be simple. Students should know how to cause the computer to do things starting at a very young age. In 10 short minutes, you can learn all about this topic and how you can put some concepts in your classroom. Are you teaching students about advanced searching? Start there.</p> <p>Alfred serves on the Computer Science Teachers of America board. He's my go-to guy for questions about how to teach Computer Science. I've been a faithful reader of his blog since the first month I started blogging in December 2005. Alfred, though, isn't just a PLN resource, he's my friend. He's a good man and a great servant leader to the cause of Computer science and STEM education and is a wealth of knowledge. Take a listen, follow Alfred on Twitter, and understand how Computer Science Matters in your school.</p> <p>Blog: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://blog.acthompson.net/">http://blog.acthompson.net</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Twitter: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://twitter.com/alfredtwo">http://twitter.com/alfredtwo</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Home Page: <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="http://www.acthompson.net/">http://www.acthompson.net</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.bamradionetwork.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1077:teaching-teachers-with-technology&catid=91:every-classroom-matters&Itemid=259" target="_self" title="">Listen to the show </a></p> <h1>Essential questions:</h1> <ul> <li>What should elementary age students to be able to do? <em>(curriculum directors listen up)</em></li> <li>What are your favorite simple introduction to programming tools for kids in elementary?

Every school should have one member of CSTA on staff - it is that important. (I also think every school should have at least one ISTE (<a href="http://www.iste.org" target="_self" title="">www.iste.org</a>) member on staff - it is another vital STEM organization that shares best practices.

They have incredible potential for the teacher in the classroom, for professional development purposes and for older students to use for collaboration. Google, of course, is always improving its projects and you never know when something is about to improve before your eyes, and this has proved true of Hangouts! Here are three new features that I have noticed.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. 'Hangouts chat' now get an extension on the Chrome toolbar</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chrome is such a versatile browser to use. My browser bar is populated with extensions which enable a quick and seamless browser experience which puts everything at your fingertips. You just click on the required extension on your browser bar and “it happens”.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIor24SwrdPd1fHb1YkN97Yl3QT3KzpTousXdnoDz2lUHU7k38KEcW77BHmlNllSh0VHHZ105PSL7FQ6QGJgn3KzdwqKhxBnujJStL16XJNUz9AJrJPqFDRbbPyfLzEgyO2AkTCIILXE/s1600-h/image%25255B11%25255D.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9QOn3zmw_5FYFcQLw3aMmn_3TnYOdm16kHOrDlrv-jchcqiQKg-G8zCZKyOikqYHnyfm1TBQz30ruLdgXLOe0urivHpCH3SQuNpgEeV0SUxi_Kct_PX_tdga2BkjVFwXDUnvw_VEWlyg/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="108" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Google has recently created an </span><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">extension for Hangouts</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> called ‘Hangout chats’ and I have just added it to my toolbar. With this app, you just click on it and it opens a screen in the bottom right hand corner of your browser page for chatting to whoever is a member of your Google+ community.

(This regular reunion is a fun time of catching up with news and views, and various teachers slip in and out of the Hangout as their time permits.) On the side bar below you can see the word ‘Capture’.

Creative Writing #12: An African Storybook Project report back from Princess Primary School in Roodepoort

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you so much to those who are sending in their stories about how their writing is going for the African Storybook Project. This is a fantastic project for Grades 1-3 children in Africa where the plan is to create an awesome website of stories that teachers and their classes around Africa can use. The blog post that gives more information about this project is: </span><a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2013/05/theres-still-time-to-submit-story.html" style="color: blue; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">There’s still time to submit a story suitable for a Grade 3 reader for the African Storybook project. Join us!</span></a><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The story in this post comes from Princess Primary School in Roodepoort where Eden Daniels teachers Grade 7. Listen to what she has to say:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I am Eden Daniels,the Grade 7 English teacher at Princess Primary School in Roodepoort.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH7JNPzmiFqTgBoIVoUeOO3_oGyhEGhGCKv50vN_63V5r5h5memi_GbBtSdKgebnmUd0mp30saEEXq5LgeWlr9oc6MbhQJl2xoP96vtLNEWkwM9S_rg-ZMbpMiMAjl3f6X1Wp4i5oXBZ0j/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="291" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Eden Daniels from Princess Primary School in Roodepoort</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I first read of this amazing project I thought of incorporating  it into my Creative Writing Assignment for Term 3.The learners first wrote their stories in their Classwork books then transferred it to the computers in the computer centre.I had never seen kids so excited about a project before.They actually begged to remain in the computer centre  during breaks and after school.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6T9I0LqMQe0JO8j2xJFhbT1sxYNAbaLs6Qae8Yya8Hwmgnz4iQNibAvGZG3IJXWMNpBMCXNK8BznoeWrFoft4BaSW9_Xx4ufB4z6D43935tUcmSsDo80ls6f8iqNXJCgv6Dm2QZKq589u/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></span></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We don't have an ICT  teacher at our school any more so I don't have help at school. The 4 week course really helped.The free image websites really assisted the kids. I downloaded many pictures according to the children's requests as most of them are underprivileged and do not have computers at home.These pictures were then copied onto the computers for them to pick and choose from.Some of them brought their own pictures and others submitted drawings.”</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1VwupU3PszJ1K_G8vBJZZfujwGcAuUPYBdfrk3En5dddJL8ra_Ui6GhVeBt2SiccMk59mn8qFk2xv6RFT324e3D7zEWvNpKvUddfhOvRmo70GFZ2-qNsPQIgw_DWvUinCGiCEBGj77E3b/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you so much for this wonderful report back Eden.
