PBS documentary of the effects of the blue eyes brown eyes exercise

This is an amazing, powerful video. Watched it just by chance as a teen, always remembered it, used it in classes and in a club activity. Really speaks to kids, though it is pretty heavy content. Should check with parents for younger grades.

Huge array of ideas!! Plus great webisodes!

"Before the advent of Twitter, most educators I know had limited opportunities to collaborate with colleagues outside their building. Some subscribed to listservs or participated in online forums, but these outlets lacked critical mass; teachers also networked at in-person conferences and training sessions, but these isolated events didn't provide ongoing support. Enter Twitter. I've heard many educators say that Twitter is the most effective way to collaborate and that they've learned more with Twitter than they have from years of formal professional development."
