Podcast53: Censored for Relevance

posted in globalvoices, podcasts, politics |

This podcast features reflections on educative experiences which inspire conversations and ideas relating to being “censored for relevance.” Educators should be reading and having conversations about social networking websites like MySpace, yet some school districts ban all access to MySpace as well as any website (including this blog) which even mentions the word. When authoritarian organizations and regimes censor relevant voices speaking out about issues that matter, whether in school districts or nations like China, we should be concerned as educators and citizens.
