Using gaming software in the classroom


Today I was looking at this video about using gaming software in the classroom.  I found it very interesting and felt the need to share it with you.  Take the time to check it out and give me some feedback.

Why not be "Happy"?

I was driving home yesterday and turned on the radio.  I recognized a song I had heard before.  It was from the movie Despicable Me 2.  The song is "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.  It is infectious.  The message is so simple.  Anyone feeling down should listen to this song.  Or even if you are feeling great, it will make you feel better.  The video is fantastic using people and celebrities just being themselves and enjoying the moment.

 Thank you Pharrell Williams for reminding us all to enjoy life and be who we are comfortable being, that it should not matter what is going on around you.  Make sure you check out the 24 hour video for "Happy" at http://24hoursofhappy.com/.  It is worth checking out several times of the day to just enjoy how the video is always changing.  I can say it makes me smile everytime I see it.
