My Kenan Fellowship experience has helped me to grow as an educator. Looking back at my first blog post, I see that nearly all my expectations for growth and accomplishments have been met. I said I hoped that doing an externship at Vidant Duplin Hospital would help me to upgrade my Honors Biology course, and it certainly has. The whole semester was centered around an over-arching PBL that had meaningful community service projects. I said that I wanted to find ways to make more real-world connections to health and health care and ways to make class more engaging, and our PBL on diabetes linked to one of the biggest health problems in our county. I said that I planned to find ways my students can give back to the community through community service projects and my students taught 4th and 5th graders at a nearby elementary school about diabetes. They also made display boards that were used at a community health and fitness center, displayed in doctor’s offices and a pharmacy, and are now being used at Vidant Duplin Hospital for their diabetes education classes.I said that I hoped I would be able to successfully use some of the technology presented in the PD sessions, and I have incorporated some of it into my classes.  I also said I hoped the externship would enable me to link some of our students with internships, graduation projects, or volunteer opportunities and that is the part I still need to accomplish in days and years ahead.
