Living History: Great Expectations
Cross-posted on Changing Connections
Watching history shape in the words, pauses, and inflections of President Obama’s Inaugural Address, we become a part of history as we “lead once more,” a new day forward into the future. “A moment that will define a generation,” a moment we will always remember. Reflecting on the end of the war in Korea and VietNam, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X, the first words from space (Russian and English), the fall of the Berlin Wall, and 9-11, all these events are, as Miss Brinson wrote in her blog, A New Day in America, moments I will remember forever with you. Where we were at those exact moments, what we said, the people with us (Chandra, Gabby, Megan, Shanon, andCody) how we felt, what we wore--all memories in our personal history. Unlike so many other reflective “I was there” or “I remember when...,” today is cause for celebration, with great expectations for “something better down the road.”

Citing Brinson:
This is a moment to be remembered, honored, and revered. This is history....To my students: Today - is your “moment”. You should commemorate it. You need to celebrate it. It’s your duty to pass it on….
I invite you to comment on this day by posting your reflections on your blog on Learning Curve, as well as Miss Brinson’s blog, Education, Technology, and Fun.

Would just like a person to aid
