Doodle 4 Google 2012 Open for Submissions

This year Google is asking students to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, "If I could travel in time, I'd visit…" One lucky student artist will see their artwork appear on the Google homepage and take home some cool prizes--and as a special bonus, the winning artwork will appear on a limited edition of Crayola's iconic 64 box.

The Doodle 4 Google competition is now open to all K-12 students in U.S. schools (including homeschoolers). Parents, teachers, or after school programs may submit doodles on behalf of their child or student as long as they are accompanied by a completed and signed entry form. Like last year, we do not have a cap on number of submissions from one school, family, or after school program but we still require that only one doodle is submitted per child. In the case of duplicate submissions by a single child, we will accept the submission that arrives first as determined by the "received by" date. Completed entry forms must be received by March 23rd.

Stossel in the Classroom: Streaming Video from John Stossel

Check out the latest FREE streaming video clip available only at Stossel in the Classroom, along with accompanying discussion questions. Watch videos along with your students directly from the site without having to link to a secondary media player.

New videos and discussion questions are posted each month. All past videos are archived on the site and are available for viewing. Videos are intended for Advanced Middle School, High School, and College students.

November's video is on "Wall Street Protesters' Economic Myths".

Ideas for Further Discussion:

1. What effects could free college have on education? 
2. What do you think the Wall Street protesters want? What should be done for them? 
3. What is your opinion on the protest? Try to also address some of the issues brought up in the video. Are there things the protesters don't understand about economics? Are they being "cheated"?
