Two highlights of this week were presentations by Jane at WJU'S Center for Educational Technologies and our very own Spanish student Alex. For her presentation, the funny and talented Jane at CET conducted a video conference in which our high school students from Argentina got to discuss their next NASA mission (making a shoebox "fly") with real NASA scientists in Mississippi. Needless to say, the students loved brainstorming with the folks at NASA.
For his presentation, Alex used PowerPoint to discuss the historical and political circumstances and outcomes of the U.S. Gulf War. Our high school students found Alex's talk edifying and interesting, and they responded with excellent questions. It was great to watch a "veteran" ELI student interact with our newcomers. Our students always have such creative and important things to say!
