[Menvi-discuss] Fwd: Bounce Metronome: Improved Accessibility

[Chela Robles]

Speaking of movile devices, I got an IPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB from 
Bestbuy from my grandma as a birthday gift, today I'm 28.
I think I'll check out that IRealB Chris posted about while back, 
actually I think it was Richard Taesch.


Teachers have a sacred task:
It is to give children the skills to understand the world and an expectation that the world is a trustworthy place; that it is full of light, and love, and music and that each student deserves--and will have--their own place in it and the chance to play their own song.
And, as much of these expectations are transmitted non-verbally—and in Chela’s case--out of sight…it is the voice and touch of a Teacher that sheds light on what the world can be.
Academics—and no one will ever change my mind on this—take a distant second place. —Dr. Bil Hawkins
