Pass It On Education Content: Do We Even Understand What Our Leaders Are Talking About? When It Comes To Money...We Should!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Do you have an accurate picture of what our federal government spends money on?  Countless studies show that most Americans don't.  The piece below from whitehouse.gov gives a visual representation of what makes up our federal budget.

If you click the image, you will get a copy of the image that you can mouse over to see exactly what percentage each item is in the federal budget.

Foreign aid???  Merely .6 percent of our budget.  NPR, less than .1 of 1%.

When our politicians are talking about cuts that don't involve health care, national security, social security, and other income supports...they are not fundamentally discussing the budget issue. 



This would be an excellent visual for young people to study in a Social Studies or Math course.  If you know an educator who can use it...

Pass It On Education Tools: Exposing the CIA...As If You (And Your Students) Were There!

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Recently I posted a "virtual tour" of the White House in response to Dr. Tennant's post on his blog, EdClicking, suggesting one money saving idea for schools that meshes with exposing students to the wider world---and those institutions that will shape it---is through "virtual learning" as an alternative to the traditional "field trip."

There are so many places that your students can get a flavor of that are world-shaping---but hundreds of miles from where they'll ever be---that you can expose them to in this 21st century, inter-connected world we live in without ever leaving the schoolhouse!


Click the image above to enter the "top secret" world of the CIA!

If you can't use this, I bet you know an educator who can!  If so...please...

This link will start you out with a birds-eye view of the White House, but you can zoom in-around-over-and-all about such that all of D.C. can be viewed from many angles.

It is fantastic!  Click below to begin exploration!

Pass It On Education Tools: Virtual Tour Of Our Nation's White House

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
In a recent post on his blog---EdClicking---Dr. Tennant proposed a number of ways schools can address budget shortfalls by earning income and enacting cost efficiencies

One of the missions of my blog---EdConnections---is to spotlight content and tools educators can use to enrich instruction and otherwise promote quality education.  Heavy emphasis is placed on free resources.  There is so much out there...and more so all the time.

Most schools have their technology infrastructure in place...or are getting it up to speed.  Educators must implement this technology in meaningful ways that engage students and capture their imaginations.  Schools must implement it in ways that maximize efficiencies and improve communication with and between all stakeholders.

I will continue to spotlight free resources educators can use to enrich instruction.  If you can't benefit from them, perhaps you know others who can...so you will...

Check It Out!  Pass It On!


The White House Virtual Tour
Dr. Tennant mentioned is quite a rich resource.

One of the many videos that caught my attention was the "Situation Room."

Pass It On Education Content: Electing a US President In Plain English

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
This is a really neat video from Teacher Tube, a place where there is plenty of junk but some hidden jewels.  I'll find many of them for you.  Check back often!

You've probably seen other videos in this series.  Blogs in Plain English, is one.  Wikis in Plain English, is another.

I bet you know some educators (and parents) who would like for you to forward this video on to them!



Download the video here: Electing a U.S. President in Plain English
