What I hope to gain from my fellowship..

I really hope to gain a lot of amazing connections to teachers and the staff here, which I feel like I already have and it is only the second day.  I think that this experience will help me become better at creating meaningful lesson plans and to be able to take my personal experiences and create lessons from them.  From today alone, I have been exposed to so many great technology tools that I can bring back to my classroom and use in my lessons.  I hope that I will take away more useful teaching tools throughout this experience.  Finally, I can’t wait to start working with my mentor.  I feel like this experience alone will be career changing.  The information that I will gain from this will completely impact my career.  I do not know a lot about prehistoric forensics, so I am excited to be able to bring this experience and what I have learned, back to my students!!
