Students with disabilities, and children from many different cultures are being included in some classrooms. It is important to include everyone into the studies and to make sure that all students have equal opportunities in their education. A new teaching concept called, e-Learning developed promarily by Bryn Holmes and John Gardner (2006) is changing the way students learn. According to Holmes & Gardner (2006), e-Learning offers students, "online access to learning resources, anywhere and anytime" (p.14). This can help students learn at their own pace and sometimes in their own enviornments which can be more comfortable than the classroom. e-Learning allows students to collaborate with one another through the use of ICTs and can guide students through their own learning. This new methodology can be helpful when students are coming from such diverse and different backgrounds with different styles of teaching. -Alex Holmes & Gardner.

Because of the recent tragedies involving school violence, the YWCA USA has decided to expand the contest to a national competition. Part of the Y’s annual YWCA’s Week Without Violence campaign (October 15-21, 2006,) the contest is sponsored by TiVo KidZone for kids between the 3 and 16. The idea is to get parents, caregivers, and teachers to engage children in a discussion about ways to deal with anger and how to cope with violence. The kids are invited to draw and use their creativity to express their emotions. The YWCA will honor twelve of the young artists that participate by selecting three finalists from each of the following age categories: 3-6 years old, 7-10 years, 11-13 years and 14-16 years. TiVo Inc. will provide the winners with prizes including a free TiVo and free service, among others. All entries must be postmarked by October 21, 2006. A Creative Response to Violence
