Rabia Siddique is the author of "Equal Justice," a memoir of her stint in the British Army where she fought for and against the system. As a British Army lawyer, an attractive one at that, Rabia's life has been a paradox. While she's been commissioned to become the system's face for equal opportunities in the army, she's been a victim of politicking. But Rabia wouldn't have any of that.

Reflection shared by Edudemic - It allows students to create amazing 'book' adventures by adding background music to written pieces - turning reading into a completely new and fun experience. What makes it so innovative is that it allows students to add movie-style soundtracks to their reading selections. All you need to do is go to the BookTrack website and signup for a free classroom edition. You can start reading from a list of books on the bookshelf that have background tracks already embedded. The bookshelf includes popular classroom selections like Romeo and Juliet and Rikki Tikki Tavi. Better yet, students can create their own masterpieces by uploading their written work and adding soundtracks to their projects. Students can then record themselves reading, and in the process, hear where they might need to edit their paper or add details. Adding music will allow them to bring their ideas to life!
