Preventing Racist Halloween Costumes

Mr. Grover posted about the Students Teaching About Racism in Society (STARS) program at Ohio University making a campaign about culturally stereotyped Halloween costumes. At the end he asked what your school does to go about getting into a mess with Halloween costumes. My comment for this post told him first that I thought the post was great and then about how students here will stereotype cultures too when the girls are not dressed in revealing "animal" costumes.

Pearson's Free OpenClass LMS For Google Apps

Mr. Grover made a post about a new Google Apps for Education tool called the Pearson OpenClass LMS. He mentioned a few other the features it has and compared it to other programs such as Moodle, Blackboard, and HaikuLMS. I responded by telling him that it was a great and helpful post and that I look forward to future posts that have helpful tools in them.
