This program teaches many different topics through hip hop including world cultures. I thought it was interesting!

Another educational tool to improve the dropout rate, teen pregancy, student achievement, and global awareness; most of all the program goal is to manufacture productive citizens. Love the idea!

I think this is really cool and feel that it would be very engaging for the students. I always try to relate class materials to music and movies because students of this generation are media and technology junkies. I think this is something they could definitely relate to. Great article!

I think that this is a great idea! Very innovative! Also what a great way to combine different courses together, a nice way to step outside of the box!
