Last Friday was kind of cool, wasn't it?
Please bring your laptops this Friday! We'll be hunting for information in class, and this works better if most of you have your own laptops!
We're also going to visit a problem-solving and project-based learning workshop at the college at 12:00, and you're going to model your awesome creative thinking and teamwork skills for professors at the college. You'll be asked to work with the professors to conceptualize some element of your Be The Change project: for example, a bumper sticker, a social media campaign (like Facebook or Twitter), a public outreach act (such as a flash mob, protest, public demonstration), or a YouTube video. So, come in with an idea of what your social or political problem is!
Also, you've probably heard on the news or elsewhere already, but Occupy Boston continues to make waves. Over 2000 people attended the students' march on Monday (did you???) And over 100 Occupy Boston participants were arrested very late Monday night.
(Your professor was there during the arrests. And yes, it was scary. And yes, it felt momentous, too. That's sort of how this stuff works--scary and momentous all at once.)
Here's video from the moment when the arrests began: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu63e7QD_5k

Occupy Boston's media team continues to do good work. See the press releases and other coverage at: http://occupyboston.com
