Invisibility

If I was chosen to wear an invisible cloak for a day to perform a good deed, I would help the poor, help the people who were in trouble, and kids that are getting bullied. The poor need a lot of things in their lives. I would help them get some food for their family. I would help them look for simple jobs.

I would also help the people who are in trouble. If someone is getting robbed, I would help catch the bad guy and give the stuff that he robbed back. I would then hand him over to the police. I would especially help the kids who are getting bullied. If I see someone getting bullied, I would be there to warn the bullies to leave him alone. If someone needed help for a day, I would help them. I would get them out of trouble, help the poor provide for their family, and help the kids that are getting bullied.

Web 2.0 Do now

If I was a teacher I would have a History of Basketball class. Every student would learn about basketball and its history. They would learn who discovered the game, when it got discovered, and where. They would have time to play in the class. They would play maybe two times a week.

There would be a maybe two classes per day. We would meet at a section of the basketball court when its empty and no one is using it. It would be very quiet and the basketball feeling would be there. I could teach them how Michael Jordan or Vince Carter got started. I would make them pick an NBA legend and I would tell them his story.
