Holly Explores Alaska History: I enjoyed Holly's perspective on the importance of a persons awareness of place. Though I knew placed-based learning affects the future I hadn’t thought much about it. It is so important to understand the history of the place you live in in order to create a successful future.
Alaskan History: A Newcomers Perspective: Claire shared one of her favorite places, Utah, and her ongoing connections it. I love that she talked about awareness of place allowing students to function as responsible citizens in their communities. I am hoping to learn more about my new home in Alaska and use my knowledge to teach students about their home.
Exploring Alaska's Cultures: I enjoyed Shannon's blog because she lives on an island in the Southeast too and it was easy for me to relate to her examples of place-based learning. She wrote about taxi cabs and subways examples in work vs. ferries and float planes. As I learn about my island community I hope to use more relevant examples for my students.
