The DANGERS of a single story

In Ms. Adichie's The Danger of a Single Story, she identifies how a single story is an incomplete one and when we choose to define 'a people' or 'a person' by one we are doing everyone an injustice. When we see people as we think they are and not what they really are we are demeaning that person and we are limiting our appreciation of that person due to our preconceptions.

Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. 

Be careful about what you post online

Whenever you post or comment, think about how the things you say online will make others feel - AND think about the impression you’re leaving of yourself.
Remember that the online world isn’t real life but it is PERMANENT.

I am posting this picture of my daughter and BMike from StudioBe. She is standing in front of a painting that the studio purchased. This image doesn't show her in a compromising manner and her personal information is not easily seen. This is an example of me recognizing her #BlackGirlMagic. 

Your brand new ePortfolio

You should be putting the final touches on our websites. You should have 5 pages on your website:

1. Home w/ an About Me component. Be sure not to add personal items.
2. Passions w/ at least 3 things that you are interested in. Take some of the items from your Who Am I? presentation. You'll also need to embed the slides on the bottom of your website page.
3. Learner Profile - make a copy of this document and complete it. You will embed this document on to this page.
4. Dig Med I page - you will embed the 1st document you completed
5. Your blog

The order you place them in is up to you. Your site should also be customized:

1. Theme selected and modified
2. Layout components added

You'll then need to create a blogger blog that will be added as a page (via link from your blog)
