  • TikTok Ban? What is it? What are both sides of the debate? March 2024

    In this video, I address the questions and concerns surrounding the TikTok ban.

    I present both perspectives on the ban, focusing on the potential security risks and the freedom of speech argument.

    It's important to consider the privacy rights we willingly give up when using TikTok.


    Understanding the context and implications of the ban is crucial.

  • What is a domain? What is a website?
    In this episode of That’s Not Crazy, That’s History! We learn about the difference between domains and websites with an analogy about parking spaces and cars. Since one of our students says he wants to learn how to build websites, we explained a skill that will actually “prepare our students for their next steps.”
