Is it working?

It really opened my eyesof what I want to introduce to my school.
When I leave excited and energized,the experience is an excellent one!
I came in wondering and left inspired!
This is definitely a project my students can doand I hope to incorporate into my curriculum.
I really enjoyed talking with expert geologists and paleontologists. Usually I know more geology than presenters; not this time.
This has been the most influential development I have had in three years.
I learned so much and feel I can be a better teacher because of it.
