just found this and thought it was interesting.
getting students to learn math by incorporating fantasy sports!
think-pair-share-jigsaw!!! --Shor
So after reading the article and doing the activity in class, I found that the activity really helped to understand it. My section for the activity was "education is not and cannot be neutral". This is very true, from what we have learned from this semester. Education teaches us to be naturally curious, and to ask questions, and like what Johnson says, we must talk about stuff. In our group we had a comparison of if someone from Brown university and RIC were taught the same thing, the person from Brown would be looked at as higher than the person who came from RIC. And this is because education is NOT neutral. Here in our FNED class our class is not neutral, we are asked to think, and talk about stuff that shows us how education isn’t neutral. In our group we were able to find three authors that we could make connections to, 1.) Delpit.- if education was neutral we would be enforcing the cultural of power. 2.) Finn and Oakes.- critical thinking (outcomes-Brown student vs. RIC student) 3.) Johnson.- must talk about things and get them out in the open.
--if education was neutral, you would just float their and then the cultural of power would eventually sweep you away down the river.

Greek life at RIC!!!
Hello all!!!
I’m not sure how many of you know that RIC actually has Greek life on its campus. There are 3 sororities and 1 active fraternity and 1 almost active fraternity. Greek life here is very low key, to those who don’t look for it, but to me it’s about all I think about half the time. I am a part of a sorority called lambda chi and we are an animal rights sorority. We have many events that involve helping the community around us and also the RIC community. We are involved with some local animal shelters and we also are involved in helping out the campus clean up days.
Recently the Greeks have gotten together and we are now planning an event for the school. It probably won’t happen till next semester sometime. But the reason to why I’m writing about this is because my sorority just initiated out new Gamma class last night and I’m just so happy!!! :-D. Our sorority is still small (only 22 members) but we are growing every semester! So if you are interested check us out next semester! :)
