One thing I have learned...
One thing I've learned from the post is that it's important to know how to correctly use search engines. This has a great effect on getting accurate information for that students get. Not only does it effect the accuracy of the information that the students get, but it also effects the amount of information received that they get. It also helps the students to create better essay and writing prompts, while giving them a better knowledge of how to get information and data.
The youtube video
The video I think was about the way society is today and the way it effects all students of all races. I feel like they had something to say and this was a way for the students to get their point across and I feel that they had done what they set out to do and that was to enlighten everyone about racial profiling.

Wow, is all i can really say about that video. I can tell by the way that those people where screaming into the mic that it came from heart. It was an inspiration, and possibly an outlook to some. The words they were speaking hit me hard because i know some of us can truly relate. As students, we are caged in classrooms, being taught what the MAN wants us to know and hiding the truth that they never want to be told. We are learning in the class-rooms, having to be silent as night and being told lies about the past. Why? Why should we be lied to if the past repeats it-self? Shouldn't we as the people, as the future know? When can we be the unique people we are told we are? Instead we have to dress alike in the same colors, we have to be silent and can't express our minds or our thoughts. I truly felt what they were saying and I'm sure many others did too.
specialized for you entertainment =)

i was really inspired by the video . i felt the strength in the voices of all kids . they were obviously hurt by the society today g they decided to speak on it . i didnt realize the facts about our community today until i saw that video . maybe if the word spread a little more then people would actually make a difference . this video made me wanna change a bit and show teachers that i can be more then what im expected to be . the main purpose of this video was to explain that no one can tell you who you are but you .
