Our Legacy...

After watching all the news coverage regarding the death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, I started wondering again what would be my legacy to the world. As a teacher, I hope it is an ongoing impact to successive generations. As a zoologist, I hope to leave the world a little better through our understanding of the other incredible creatures we should see as neighbors. As a student of ecology, I hope it is a view that we need to tune up the biologic engine we call Earth.

What will be your legacy? I challenge you to find a way to make your legacy not only something you leave to the world, but for it as well.

Why this blog?

At the beginning of my third year with the Globaloria program, I decided to start a fresh blog to go with a fresh approach. In the past two years, I have worked with HSTA students afterschool through Globaloria in healthy game design. This year, I will be incorporating the Globaloria project-based learning approach to two of my Biology class, one regular and one advanced. I am really looking forward to it this year and can't wait to see how well the students do in a project-based biology course.
