      This shows how soccer players are involved with the world, and how they work to promote peace. Messi is not the only player involved with UNICEF as there is David Beckham, Diouf (Senegalese), etc. 
  • Mr. Messi has dedicated time to UNICEF since 2004, supporting the offices in Spain and Argentina with advocacy and fundraising. He was among a team of top soccer players who were featured in a Public Service Announcement to launch the FIFA-UNICEF joint campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany under the banner ‘Unite for Children, Unite for Peace.'
  • His personal childhood experiences have been the driving force behind his commitment and desire to help vulnerable children and to engage in charitable activities.  In 2008, he founded the Leo Messi Foundation, which collaborates with several medical and cultural institutions to give children and youth in Argentina and Spain a better chance in life.

      This is the reason we chose soccer for our project, because it is the most popular game. If a sport were to be able to promote peace, then soccer would be the best choice as evinced by this website.

      This proves that technology is not only negative as proves this article. We can see that there are a great amount of positive factors to technology.

      Personalized learning, I think, is one of the greatest factors of technology, and especially internet. We can see this happening at ISD as well, with some students self-educating themselves through websites online, and even take an exam at the end of the year.

      Is learning how to learn really the whole point of education, or are there other important factors that include education? 
  • The obsession with digital classrooms goes back to president Bill Clinton, who called for more computers in the schools in 1997. After 15 years of failure, the Barack Obama administration's National Education Technology Plan ''calls for applying the advanced technologies used in our daily personal and professional lives to our entire education system to improve student learning.''

      The title and the first sentence give a negative aspect to the article: as if the article were biased and directed to insult the american system.
