One of my favorite cancer resources is
Discovery Health, and I use it in the classroom, even though I teach English. Why?
- Because this product has relevance to every curriculum.
- Cancer touches every family.
- I have students battling cancer, as well as their family members.
- Art imitates life, and literature, print and non-print media, increasingly explores health, wellness and diseases in writing life.
- Because I am rewired digitally, and while not an iGeneration, I teach them, and they make an impact on my daily life, in and out of the classroom. So does Discovery Health.
- And because I have cancer.
- Because I am beating back cancer with resources available to me in a format I embrace -- Discovery Health.

| Airs tonight! |
I learned about SU2C because it appeared in Discovery Health when I accessed it to use for a classroom concept. Let's face it, we all lead busy lives, so I don't always watch TV, read magazines (hard copy, at least), and I almost never ever read a newspaper. What I grab and go with happens
via social networking and classroom preparations,
aka lesson planning. That's how I found out that I will be watching
Stand Up To Cancer tonight at 8 PM Eastern.
And to be honest, anything that can improve the quality of life, improve a lifestyle, or save a life--that's for me. Thank you, Discovery Health, for really making your products authentic, relevant, and well, lifesaving.
Cancer definitely touches every family at some point, and people are often uninformed about coping with it until it is too late - very unfortunate.
