I am more organized this year because of Evernote…and other things.

I think the process of having to plan a unit from scratch to meet Kenan and AP requirements has changed the way I think about unit planning. I’ve been more inclined to find the most contemporary readings I can find for my students.

Working with a trained statistician has made me examine my biases within my subject matter and look for the most evenly argued points of view to share with students.

I receive Scientific American at home…and they have an entire section dedicated to food this month. There’s an awesome article about bioengineered foods, something I have some serious ethical concerns about…and since my Kenan experience, I was really attracted to one article as an assignment for my students…that gives a really even assessment of the sides of the debate.
