education

 I do spend some time teaching the watershed. I now have some idea how I can add some spark to this unit.

Mary Ellen - ...an atmosphere in which we could use our own background knowledge base, bounce ideas off each other, and have the time to process what we were experiencing through trial and error.

Anne - ...don't miss all the great images of us looking for homologies

Diane - I think I would introduce one tree at a time and discussed why the right answer made more sense than the other 2 choices.

    I often kid that I am turning into my students. I know that I have learned many things this week but I'm afraid that I will forget them. I plan to use my blog to help me find my way back to Bryn Mawr when September comes.

Yesterday I had to spend most of my day at my school building. It is located in The Kirkbride Center, which is the focus of my presentation on Friday. This building complex was once The Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane! As I sat on one of the classrooms, I looked at the high ceilings, the wide open hallways and wide floor spaces. During lunch I spoke with a 76 year old resident of West Philadelphia who recalled the Mill Creek sewer which I included in my presentation.

I am fascinated when I speak with citizens over 70 who recall different times and different environments as compared to the same locations before severe changes to the landscapes due to progress and related effects.
