QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"A fool thinks of himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool." William Shakespeare


TODAY IN HISTORY:
Nelson Mandela
Walt Disney

  • 1959 Walt Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" released.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Demian Bilchir
Everybody's talking about Facebook's Timeline, but what is it exactly? Check out this NPR report that will answer all your questions.
Talking Facebook, time and again we've said that this year's motto is "Fewer faces and more books." Thus it's only fitting that we dedicate this awesome video to Peña Nieto.
Yet if you don't like books, you should check out this cool school. Yep, neither books nor pencils are required! Sign up ASAP...
Would you like to have an airplane in your garage? Take a look at this CNN report that talks about private aviation. Exciting!
Computers are great and all, but can they replace teachers? That's exactly what Time questions on this article. Do you agree?
Now Demian Bilchir is nominated for an Academy Award this year. USA Today features an interview with Bilchir... in crisp English! Actually, Reuters also has this movie review that will help you decide wether or not you want to see "A Better Life."

Hello teacher, I find it very intereante saberque already have long since Walt Disney started drawing pictures and is very surprising to see how your drawings are passed from generation to generation and are now out and the children continue to see.

Hi teacher!!I realli like the video of books... ¡What a beautiful library! And although books don´t dance, don´t move but if it takes you to new worlds and diferent whit its beautiful stories or you full of information whit their knowledge hopefully implemented of "fewer expensive and more book" because social networks, especially facebook is a great adiction to both adolescents and adults.
