So, I got to say how impressed I was with my first experience with Classroom 2.0. It has motivated me to pick a topic, podcast, or video for my morning commute. I found a YouTube channel playlist entitled, "The Future of Education." I scanned the playlist and near the end I found a title that grabbed my attention. It was called, "The effects of Poverty on Health and Education." Since my elementary school experience of being educated in a racially divided town and attending the predominately African American Public school. Poverty surrounded my school. Poverty influenced this school. The materials, books, and resources reflected poverty...and yet we learned. We had a very strong school. It was difficult, but our teachers worked hard, so did we. When I would get around the students who attended the local private school, I was made to feel second class. I do know that my friends and I who did well at this school all came from strong nurturing families, so while we were in this public school with such hardships, we had a richness in our supporting families.
