April 19th Presentations

First of all I'd like to say that presenting our research topics orally really helps with getting things to come together and receiving other peoples opinions and assistance. I was really grateful for all the feedback in class. With that said presentations on Monday were really interesting. Each person portrayed their passion and knowledge in their topics accordingly.

Jess's topic seems to be the most popular as I glanced over blog posts, so following with that trend, I think her paper would be extremely interesting to read and see which conclusions she draws and how or if she incorporates some of the information that she had (about dorms from the 70s).

Lisa's topic was really interesting because I didn't know that schools attempted inclusion. In our school there was basically an entirely separate department for those kids. They had a different curriculum and their own teachers and everything. So hearing about this really broadened my horizons.

Greg's topic address a problem that is very prevalent in the US. I have had many friends from overseas and concerning this topic they all express the same ideas, that the US is lacking in Geography education (both in the location and people senses). I liked that he had ways to get us involved too, with questions and a possible video.
