First Day Thoughts

Not surprisingly, this is an outstanding group of students.  They are already comfortable with each other and enthusiastically dove into the activities.  We started with a think/pair/share about global health then moved to a short research activity about health challenges in Africa.  Problems logging in to the laptops forced students to do their research on their phones but they easily transitioned to using them.  (I think that issue has been resolved) Students then made posters with information about the disease they had been assigned and shared them with the "class".  Addison gave a short presentation about the Gnawa in Morocco.  Finally, students signed up for the art form they will use to express their feelings about Global Health.  My one complaint would be that the science lab in which we are meeting is rather open and impersonal.  I would prefer interacting with students in a more intimate setting.
