"This was a really fun assignment, but I probably wasted a lot of time listening to old recordings that had nothing to do with my ARS!

"This section was mostly very exciting. It closed a clear line of how dance has progressed through the ages, but more specifically how the zeitgeist is reflected in dance. The section on 9/11 reminded me of how young my students are and their…"
"My parents tell me about this era, but it's something that my students would only get from their grandparents. We've entered an age of ever accelerating change. The most shocking thing to me was the government funding these new dances in light of…"

I read "Integrating Music in History Education" by Dr. Cameron White. The introduction states the problem that history education is too focused on simply presenting students with facts in a bland,…"

"I finally feel like I know what I'm doing in these dances. It's exciting to see how through time these dances are more accessible to the common people. The waltz is something that I think is suitable for all ages and is still relevant today. The…"
Bill Smoot's article "Humanities in the 21st Century" is spot on when it comes to the value of teaching beyond just STEM. While the world today calls for excellence in science,…"
"One of the things I like most about history is that some eras seem so weird until I learn about what happened just before that era. To me, the Renaissance always made sense because it seemed a fairly direct progression out of the "dark ages." The…"

There's a commercial version of the pemmican we ate in class. I think you can get it at REI.
The task with the pictures is something that I will most certainly do with my classes. I…"
"Hi, I'm Matt Spence. I just finished my first year as a real teacher. I taught fifth grade at Rilke German immersion school. Next year I'll still be at Rilke, but in the middle school. I'm taking this class because I love music and dance, and I hope…"
