Comments
"I am creating a new unit on mining for my geology class. I look forward to sharing my experiences with my students."
"On a personal level - my knowledge has grown! This knowledge plus materials will be helpful with homebound students, especially web sites."
"I will use much of this course to address the topic of primary sectors in our economy. I teach geography, so this information will be great to address the need and distribution of mining."
"I am going to do an entire double bulletin board w/SSR (sustain silent reading) materials and I’ve already incorporated some into a mini unit."
"(I) will include, whenever possible, the opportunities in mining to many non-college bound kids being shunted into service jobs."
"Since I am a social studies/history teacher there are some aspects of the class that I will use. I get students consulting me about career options so I have great info about recommendations."
"I can use many of these materials - minerals, reclamation , use of minerals in my earth science class."
"I have been rewriting my opening 6th grade science unit on science skills (observing, predicting, inferring, etc.) To incorporate the mining process and a discussion on rocks and minerals."
"The course was extremely informative, educational, exciting, and it truly opened my eyes to a world I never new existed! I will go back to my classroom w/a great deal of knowledge and adventure to share with my students!"
"All About Mining was truly one of the greatest educational experiences and adventures of my life! I am amazed at how much we all learned in four weeks, and I am in awe of all we have seen and experienced. Every teacher should experience the passion of the people in mining, and what they experience every day!"
"Most (information) will fit right into my philosophy class to use for supporting arguments. The class had so much useful info, the possibilities are really endless."
"It will help me bring the real world into my math classroom as well as help me coordinate with science teachers on my team."
"I will be re-creating my rock and mineral unit to a mining unit that will educate rocks and minerals through mining."
