RE: That’s Edutainment: Using The Simpsons as a Teaching Tool in the Classroom
Dang, I wish I had you as a teacher, but from your references, I have a feeling we're the same age. btw - I love My Cousin Vinny. Forget the yoots. What's a grit? LOL
And here's where I love to completely confuse my kids. I'm more active on social media than they are. I've been using #CoolerThanMyKids for about 2+ years. And I love hearing them complain how adults are "ruining" their online lives. We did it to MySpace, Facebook and SnapChat. What's next? LOL And here's my perspective: The GenXers are kind of the last generation to actually touch a product before we buy it. We need to show these young whippersnappers that we're still cool and getting down and dirty is a good thing. You've found a 'down and dirty' way of reaching your kids and they never knew learning could be so fun. I really admire that. Bravo.
Way to get the Vinny reference! that was a little Easter egg for people born in the 70s. Good point about hands on before buying. Never really thought of that.
