Revelation

So I've finally found my technology necessity breakthrough. In my reading class we started talking about a book we're reading a true story about 3 boys that raise out of the ghetto they live in where everyone is addicted to crack and become doctors. Really inspiring, right? So I bring in some non-fiction texts about the truth about cocaine and how awful it is for us to read. We talk about what we already know and heard about cocaine. I had no idea what was going to happen. They have parents on it, cousins who use it, they know how to get it, what to do with it... awful stuff. They have all the wrong information and have no idea how harmful it really is.
I am empowered to empower them. It's time to bring in websites, videos, music, interviews, anything I can do to get my hands on the truth to give to them so they can correct the misconceptions they've been dished. It will be tricky with one computer in the room and no TV, but I will make it work, even if I have to bring in my laptop from home. If they aren't educated about this stuff at school, then they're going to hear all the wrong information.
I'm finally realizing that I cannot convince them by myself. I can use technology, something they're interested in, as a vehicle to help me give them the truth- that could ultimately change their life.
