Random Blog Post Causes Stir in Israeli Media

Israeli Version of “Survivor” Premieres with Animal Cruelty
As I am writing this, the first episode of the Israeli version of the hit TV series “Survivor” is being aired on Israeli television (channel 10).
Having bought the rights to the show, it is so far a fair imitation of the original series, this one shot on the Caribbean Islands.
So far, survivors were split into […]

You Know You’re in Israel When Every Day is a High School Reunion
I cannot get over the fact how often Israelis run into people they knew from their childhood in the middle of the street.

December 8, 2007
I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me […]
A Vision of Students Today
Michael Wesch’s thought-provoking video produced with 200 student collaborators explores student’s today, their classrooms, their experiences and the gap between the technology in the classroom and the technology in their lives. Marshall McLuhan pointed out this same gap 40 years ago. These words could have easily been written about many of today’s classrooms.
