He has some ideas about fashion

One of my students wants his ideas to go viral.  He even calls his facebook name "Contagious."

News from Chinari, a small village in Armenia... a bit of news for teenagers to think about

Here's a news item that might grab the attention of a teenager...

[8/5/14, 11:02:51 PM] Davit Vanyan: http://www.tert.am/en/news/2014/07/30/crrc/?sw
[8/5/14, 11:03:19 PM] Davit Vanyan: The delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Armenia regrets that it has had to suspend its work in support of civilians harvesting fields in Chinari village, Tavush Region, as a result of a shooting incident that occurred on 26 July.

In accordance with its mandate to assist civilians adversely affected by armed conflict, the ICRC had agreed to a request made by Chinari village to be present as harvesters worked in fields situated at the international border between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

No one was injured at the time of the shooting, but an ICRC vehicle sustained minor damage. Prior to the incident, villagers had been able to harvest four hectares in safety with the ICRC being present.

The ICRC’s policy is to maintain a confidential dialogue with the relevant authorities in order to address security concerns. The ICRC therefore does not comment publicly on the specific circumstances of incidents of this kind, or on who may have initiated the shooting. 

Through this policy, the ICRC is able to engage with the authorities in a manner that helps ensure that it can continue its work in behalf of people suffering the effects of armed conflict.

The ICRC maintains its commitment to work in behalf of civilians living close to the international border and will continue to carry out other assistance activities in the border area.

===================
This item was sent to me by Davit Vanyan, a university student who wants to return to this "dangerous" village to become an English Teacher.  Who wants to interact with Davit and help him practice English Conversation?

Two important websites for teenagers: An Alarm clock http://onlineclock.net/ and an app to practice vocabulary and mental math

Teenagers need to wake up early sometimes...  and asking some teens to get up before 7 a.m. is early for them.

Here are some screenshots.   I awoke early today because I needed to speak with someone in Europe...

... and I had lent my phone to a student who needed to use the applications to improve his studies.   I especially recommend Spread the Words App and the math practice with Math Workshop

No more "Grand Theft Auto" -- a list of videos for a 10-year-old boy

Where is Katharine?

Parents, I now it is difficult to watch your kids.  I was recently put in charge of a 109-year-old boy and I looked down to check my email... and when I looked up, the fellow was playing Grand Theft Auto.  "Does your mother allow that?"

"no."

"Then turn it off. Let's learn about monsters and Noah's Flood."

"Can you show me something about mummies?"

There!  Finally, an educational site

You can look at Ocean Research, or Ocearch.org and look for the shark...  Katharine has bdeen sighted near Florida in the past 7 months.
