		<title>I do love technology, but not as much as you, you see&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realize I should have written about this much earlier, but with the end of the year coming upon us faster than we can expect, this is the first chance I&#8217;ve had to sit down and spend some time with this blog in quite awhile.  During the second week of April, Matt and I attended [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=15&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Rock Yo Hips&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With all the negative response that I&#8217;ve been receiving lately, I had expected to find that the articles sorted out by my Google Reader would indicate the same thing- no one wants hip-hop to be integrated into our educational classrooms because of its negative aspects. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the articles turned up.

		<title>&#8220;Tell &#8216;Em What They Want to Hear&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I appreciate all the interest (from both inside our ENG 311 class and from outside visitors), I feel like a clarification to my blog is necessary because there seems to be some confusion. I DO NOT advocate the use of ALL hip-hop in classrooms. The majority of hip-hop is not appropriate! I agree wholeheartedly!

		<title>&#8220;Money, Cash, Hoes, Education?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Efforts are being made to change the image of hip-hop. Mainstays and pioneers in this industry are acknowledging that this business has a negative image that needs some serious uplifting. However, what concerns me is that although people in and outside of this industry are realizing that there is a problem with what hip-hop portrays [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=11&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The Bad Side of Good, the Downside of Up and Everything in Between.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting couple of articles caught my eye this week as I prepared to write this newest blog entry. In all honesty, I have been trying to present both sides (that is, the pros and cons) of integrating hip-hop music into the classroom. But, I have yet to contrast two articles arguing those sides. This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=10&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Not Family Friendly? Or &#8220;Parents Just Don&#8217;t Understand&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thus far in my discussion of the integration of hip-hop into high school classrooms, I have tried to focus on the positives of this tool (the educational tool being music) and not the negatives, which the media seems to focus on.  However, I&#8217;ve had a negative response to my posts (which I&#8217;m not surprised by).  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=9&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;What You Know About That&#8230;&#8221; -T.I.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest debates that has arisen in the suggestion of a hip-hop influenced classroom is the idea that students of other races besides African-American will not or do not understand the culture. Granted, there could be many students that do not understand the culture and are merely imitating it because it is the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=8&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Hip-Hop and You Don&#8217;t Stop&#8230;&#8221; -Sugarhill Gang</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I read the article below and it really spoke to me; the ideas spoken of here are KEY to relating to students and getting them involved in &#8220;active learning&#8221; in the classroom, especially in urban settings but in rural places as well. This article describes the effort of one professor to teach his students African-American [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=7&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After realizing that my original selected topics (all 5 of them) were too broad and needed serious refocusing, I have decided to center my wordpress.com blog on the idea of hip-hop music and education- that is, does it belong in an English classroom? It seems to contradict the very grammatical rules and manner of speaking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=schalterk.wordpress.com&blog=684179&post=6&subd=schalterk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
