Sharing Web Resources

    The website I am using as a resource is Harlem Children’s Zone. When I explored outside links they mainly would connect me to a YouTube video or publication to read more about a certain topic the organization wanted to highlight. One for example, was the YouTube video with our president and a student from HCZ discussing her experience in the school program. President Obama announces the use of Promise Zones that will use the model that HCZ uses to help the 5 neediest states lowest in educational support.

    I chose to explore the websites section titled, “Issues.” In this section I was able to find current issues the organization finds important for us readers to explore and learn more about. One issue was poverty to providing more of this type programs to low=income minority families. The C.E.O. and founder, Geoffrey Canada has some videos where he discuss certain issues in short media segments. In this section you can also find articles that touch basis on different issues.

   Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten any newsletters. I just have been exploring the website to figuring out information relavent to the course. When it comes to the discussion for this week on availability, accessibility, and affordability I think that is what HCZ is all about. Providing low-income, poverished, minority children with equable educational opportunities. To learn more I suggest visiting the website www.hcz.org . I think just exploring HCZ’s webpage I learned that will programs like these we can make sure all children are given equal learning opportunities, no matter the race, income, ethnicity. Its programs like these that give us a model to follow by. Thank you HCZ.
