Reflection from AH

What materials will you use/read/share?

The most useful materials we received during the FEI Workshop were the physical materials for experiments and supplemental information.  The materials, outside of specific lesson plans, provide the best scenario for integrating subject matter into a diverse range of content areas.  It allows instructors to evaluate and integrate subject matter into the curriculum as able.

What did you think/feel about the field trips and speakers?

The field trips and speakers were the most valuable aspect of the FEI workshop.  Speaking to professionals in the field presented a new dimension to the understanding of Fire Ecology.  Field trips and speakers add a personal dimension to the subject.

Did this event contribute to your increasing awareness of the role of fire in our ecosystems and communities? 

The FEI workshop presented a unique view of the connection between ecosystems and communities.  The workshop increased awareness but also expanded my understanding of the connection.

Did you learn anything from this class that will impact your life, your classroom, your community involvement in any way? 

The class will impact my classroom by expanding their understanding of fire ecology and allowing them to apply this knowledge to becoming more active members in their community.  The topic provides numerous opportunities for students to become active members in their communities.
