Bites for Good– Charity Profiles and Benefiting Lesson Icons

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
~ Sir Winston Churchill

Since the beginning, we have recognized the close link between learning, teaching, and doing good in the world. To that end, we have enabled authors to donate a portion, or all, of their lesson proceeds to a good cause. We have now rolled out some new features at MindBites to make these efforts more visible.

Hearts mark the spots – To see if a lesson will benefit a cause, now you can simply look for the heart icon on its lesson page. A pink heart signifies that a portion of author proceeds will go to the named cause, while a red heart means that all of the author proceeds will go to the cause.

Follow the hearts to find the real heroes – If you click on the heart or the charity names, you will be taken to a Charity Profile Page where you can learn a little bit more about the organization and its mission. Read the rest of this entry »
