Grading short papers for #GEO211 this weekend. They're on #ClimateChange & in a blog post format so more fun/interesting than some of them. Graded 10 right before lunch so we'll see how many more I can finish today. #workend
Forgot I took this photo in #GEO211 today while they were doing an in-class activity.

Disappointing segment from @NewsHour. Student activists are calling for 100% renewable energy by 2030. Nuclear is not renewable. www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-transi... #GEO211 #energy
Would love to hear what my #GEO211 students think about this. #energy

Teaching both of my classes today! Second one is team taught so it wasn't my turn until today. #GEO333 is severe weather & hurricanes. #GEO211 is energy. Fun times!
So can I show Blue Gold: Water Wars one more time in class this Fall or is it time to find a new #water #documentary because that one is 10 years old? If anyone has recommendations, please let me know! It's a class on #GlobalChange. #GEO211
I'm thinking especially of our #GEO211 students, @bdarcus. I think they'd be shocked.
Groups talked about biggest challenge for their regions:
climate change = 4
energy = 2
population = 2
Great discussion! I hope the students enjoyed it too. #GEO211
Almost time for group presentations in #GEO211! Great way to wrap up the semester. #MiamiOH #LastTeachingDayFall2018
In #GEO211 yesterday, students were working final paper plans & some were discussing air pollution in China. There are several Chinese student in the class & one from Beijing talked about growing up with chronic sinus problems that only eased when he came to the US. 1/
We've been talking about #water in #GEO211 so I'll be sure to tell my students that tomorrow is #WorldToiletDay. Many of us take them for granted! 🚽http://www.worldtoiletday.info/wtd2018/
Talking about #ClimateChange today in #GEO211 & asked students if they had changed anything in their lives to fight climate change. Two said they went vegetarian & another said they buy used clothes!

Renewed my @hbonow subscription so I can show some @VICE segments on #ClimateChange & #energy in class this semester. #GEO211 #GEO333
Last fall did #GEO211 activity on candidate energy policies, so need new idea for this semester. Maybe something about Trump proposals? Hmmm
