Making field trips and guest speakers a part of instruction

Public

Discussion:

Hi Todd:
Filed trips and guest speakers are valuable because they are enjoyable by the strudents and often can offer a perspective that is difficult to duplicate by other media or instructional methods. I try to "prime" the speaker with specific topics to add into what they have to say, but even if they just speak about the working environment, it keeps the stuednts interest.
