Message #1 - Unfortunately, the first item focused on racist graffiti that was found on maps in the MS hallways. As a community, we need to do everything within our powers to put an end to this type of hatred. Mr. Bair's message was clear, we have an international student body and we will continue to strive for every member to to be respectful and tolerant of others. Respect and Tolerance as defined by our Core Values.
• We believe in respecting people (their integrity, sense of self-worth, individual identity).
• We believe that diversity has a positive and enriching value and should be recognized and appreciated.
• Acceptance of differences fosters solidarity, unity, and empathy.
• We respect safety and the protection of property.
• We stress respect for cultural differences and diversity.
• We respect agreed upon values as expressed by Graded as an institution and as expressed in our relations with each other in the school community.
Message #2 - Pollo Suàrez shared the story of the hummingbird (see video in presentation) and asks the group, "What's Your Drop?" He also announced that the GIN committee is looking for student volunteers for the October 12 - 14 conference.
Message #3 - Finally, I talked about digital tattoos.
“In short, it is your digital identity. Just like a tattoo, your digital reputation is an expression of yourself. It is formed and added to by you and others over time.” - http://digitaltattoo.ubc.ca/
You can review the entire presentation on Prezi and we'll be presenting the results of the digital tattoo survey that students completed in the future.
