THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE LICSS WORKSHOP ON INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM.

 If you leave an e-mail address in the comments section I will happily foward my materials to you if you didn't get a handout at the conference.

FEDERALISM AND HURRICANE KATRINA

Federal, State and Local government all failed to communicate with each other in dealing with Hurrican Katrina. Hundreds lost their lives in the aftermath.  Politicians spent a great deal of time blaming each other.  The babies of Katrina are now attending high school.  We will be talking to the kids in this video via Skype in class.

a) Please watch the above video and please offer a comment based on your reaction and your familiarity with government agancies dealing with crisis management.  Was Sandy easier for New Yorkers because of the lessons earned from Katrina?

b) What should have been done that was not done, in your opinion?  Please answer in the context of vocabulary from chapter 3.
