Very informative website. This type of competition helps the student pour out their true talent and realize a sense of accomplishment in being recognized for their abilities.

I agree. I can't wait to incorporate design into my lesson plans. I think it will be a fun challenge as an English teacher. 3 more weeks and it's back to work!

Bruce and I are writing a unit centering around the design process and our local community. There will be a series of lesson plans that need to be packaged together. Can we put them under one name? You must read them all to follow the process and our objections.

Hi Lori,
From Bruce in Connecticut. Can you have your students conduct an alternative energy survey that examines the viability of using wind, solar or hydro-electric power in your region of N.C. You might even be able to find experts in the field that can speak to your students and show them how to evaluate an area for it's ability to produce adequate or excess energy with the use of these alternatives.
Please say hey to Fred. Good to hear from you.
Bruce

We are looking for some ideas on how to better utilize experts in fields of architecture, civil engineering, art, commuity planning, etc. as we work on developing a summer academy that help students both learn the stages of problem solving/resolution and that these experts play in reclaiming blighted areas. If you any experience in this type of endeavor we would really appreciate your input. We have no problem with the instruction of the problem solving process, we are more concerned about how to best utilize volunteers who will introduce students to their craft in a meaningul way.
Thanks,
Bruce Miller and Mike DiMartino.

How about adding a tribute to Allison "Tooti" Montana in the Easton Museum. Tooti is one of the most famous designers for his brilliant handmade Mardi Gras costumes and renowned as a community leader for his onetime role as Big Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas Indian tride.

Many New Orleans residents are part of a swelling, nationwide corps of backyard cultivators who are taking food production into their own hands for reasons that are mostly economic. Local gardeners have an additional motivation that many across the country do not share: filling a void left by markets that closed after Hurricane Katrina.Environmental stewardship and food safety add further incentives. When food grows steps away from a kitchen, it cuts the risk of contamination in the mass-produced food system and burns no fuel in transporting produce to the consumer.

You will find that you have much more time to finish projects and activities in class. It provides for a more creative atmosphere. I wish we could work it out to have that schedule at my middle school. I taught on a block scheduling schedule when I taught high school and I loved it.
