I envision two ways my summer experience will impact my students.  One way is that my students will learn more about electricity and the power industry.  The power industry employs people with a wide variety of backgrounds, and hopefully, some students will gain an interest that may result in a well-compensated career choice.

Another way my experience will impact my students is through the classroom experiences I will develop, that I believe will improve my classes and make them more interactive.  The time this summer has given me a chance to work on problem based learning activities, which will hopefully make my class more interesting and meaningful.  The professional development I have attended has increased my awareness of available technology and I plan on using that to enhance learning as well.  The technology will also enable me to communicate more effectively with my students, parents, and the community.
