Hi Tosha!
This link should be good for anyone to watch my video. I hope it's ok! It's about 5 minutes. It's a little fuzzy...to fix that, have the kids click the gear icon (next to the full screen icon) in the bottom right corner and change the "quality" setting to 720p HD.

Have a great week!!!

What Urban Planners Can Learn From Skaters and Itinerant Marching Bands

Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   What Urban Planners Can Learn From Skaters and Itinerant Marching Bands nextcity.org - Mr. Robinson showed me the way he likes to plant his crops. "In a straight line, so we can stay organized and grow as much food for the neighborhood as possible." I had just moved to Brooklyn, and was taking a tour of the community garden down the block that neighbors had founded on an abandoned lot over 40 years ago. Mr. Robinson and the other self-appointed heads of the garden managed the members' dues and distributed keys, and often opened the garden up to BBQs, parties and art shows for neighbors. I was asked to always leave the door open when I was gardening, so that anyone could come by and enjoy this handmade, unsanctioned respite from the city. Available on the App Store.

Article: Inside the Mad, Mad World of TripAdvisor

Personalized (via computer algorithms) trips for people who then review out-of-the-ordinary places so others can visit. Those reviews, as the article points out, could change patterns of travel and change hospitality and customs around the world. Very interesting extrapolations -

Gallery: 10 buildings showing the future of architecture

Not only is this really amazing, but it also made me think of how to get the kids moving and focusing on their work. And I'm going to have them help design the timing of the work so they will have more buy-in. Yay!  Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   Gallery: 10 buildings showing the future of architecture ideas.ted.com - We're entering a new age in architecture — one where we expect our buildings to deliver far more than just shelter. We want buildings that inspire us while helping the environment; buildings that delight our senses while serving the needs of a community; buildings made possible both by new technology and re-purposed materials. In my TED Book, The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings, I compiled an architectural cabinet of wonders to celebrate the most innovative buildings of today and tomorrow. Here are 10 of them, including a reindeer viewing station, an inflatable concert hall and a very clever housing complex. Available on the App Store.
