'Keynote Address: Fluent in 'Bug': The magical language that inspires learning' |
|
|---|---|
|
Arthropods are found in every school yard around the country, rural or urban. They are the perfect resource because of their accessibility and fascination factor. The Bug Chicks (Kristie Reddick and Jessica Honaker) want to inspire teachers to 'go beyond the butterfly' and find their serious inner bugdork! These entomologists are dedicated to helping teachers and outreach educators feel confident using insects in the classroom for integrated lessons in all subjects: math, art, history, science, geography and language arts! Their next big dream is to train teachers in refugee camps to use insects as educational resources. If they can train a thousand teachers, they can teach a million students. Go bug or go home!
