#Epic selfie around the world

What a fantastic video to use in class when talking about 'The Multicultural World'! Why not ask your students to try to identify the 36 countries where the guy in the video has taken such fantastic selfies? I'm sure enthusiasm, and a little bit of jealousy, will spread along the class and you'll have fantastic moments of interaction with your students, especially if they are privileged enough to have already traveled around some countries!...

To contextualize the adventure, you might like to take a look at this interview with Alex Chacon, the lucky globe trekker, for CBS, or look into Chacon's blog The Modern Motorcycle Diaries, which has fantastic pictures of this beautiful planet!

How well are we connecting?

Depending on the proficiency level of your students, you might like to use this in class when the topic to be studied is 'Young People and the social media'. 

'We, as human beings, think that through social networks, we’ve somehow become more social creatures. The problem with this theory is, the more we 'connect' online, the less actual human interactions we have, making us actually fairly unsocial. A new video breaks down exactly how the social aspects of human beings have evolved and transformed, showing how we’ve regressed from a social standpoint.

Shimi Cohen shows exactly what’s wrong with our social structure now, and how we manipulate how we want to be presented to peers, family members, and potential mates on social media, rather than having vulnerable and genuine conversations in real time. Check out this video below, and take a moment to truly assess how you conduct yourself, both online and in person.'

Happy birthday, FB!

Today is Facebook's tenth anniversary!... Amazingly, Mark Zuckerberg and his team are offering us a present: this beautiful one-minute video which highlights the best moments since we have made friends with Facebook! Thank you, it was a lovely idea! I really appreaciated it! This is probably the coolest thing Facebook has ever done is an article written by Shellie Nelson which I recommend reading.
