"What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity--intellect and resources--to do something about them."
-Henry Ford
This week Megan and Jess led an awesome lesson on academic resources! Since I just put together a lesson plan for that same topic, it was really great to see their ideas!
I really liked the discussion about academic resources that we all know that are available at ISU! We got quite the list going on the board! I like to think that I know an awful lot about our campus since it is sort of my duty to be able to answer random questions giving tours for the Office of Admissions. But......I have to admit that there were a handful up there that I wasn't so familiar with. That's a great example of how it's hard to know everything about Iowa State. I remember that my peer mentors freshman year were great about letting us know about resources related to our discussion topic each week. I thought that was a great way to educate us about resources on campus because instead of getting information overload we learned a little each week. It was also nice that if we had questions about resources that hadn't been discussed in class yet we could always go to our peer mentors for advice!
I also loved the game that you guys put together! Cute power point, I know you must have put some serious time into that! It was appreciated! Too bad we ran out of time at the end (especially since Cole, Kat, and I were winning!)
I'm looking forward to the etiquette dinner later this month and DST filming THIS WEEK! Whoo! I hope everyone had a very happy Easter and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful weather as much as I did!! See ya'll in class!
I also made a lesson on resources! I guess its what all the cool kids are doing. Yay for etiquette dinner!
ReplyDeleteAfter this week's lesson, I felt like I knew nothing about Iowa State in comparison to all of the resources that were on the board! Like you said, it really is difficult to try learning everything about Iowa State. Also, definitely get excited for the etiquette dinner! :)
