So I just got back from a weeklong teacher institute in Colonial Williamsburg, which I will gladly blog about once I get my bearings. In the meantime, I thought you would enjoy this contemporary take on the Declaration of Independence, set to the tune of One Republic's "Too Late to Apologize." You may laugh now, but your students will love to see TJ (Thomas Jefferson), Ben Franklin, and friends groove out to these historical lyrics. Even better - look up the lyrics to this song and discuss the meaning of them with your class. You might find they are inspired to set other events in history to today's music. Better yet - Soomo Publishing just came out with another music video, this time for women's sufferage (set to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance"). I've posted both of theses videos via YouTube for convenience, but you can easily look these videos up on TeacherTube or SchoolTube to share with your class if YouTube is blocked on your school filter. Have a safe and fun Fourth of July, and remember to stay in the techKNOW this summer!

Celebrate the Fourth with TJ and the Revo!
