Computer Sciences

 So many ways to teach introduction to computers. The course BTA30 is an excellent course that I had the privilege to teach until a preferred candidate took over the rest of the semester. I began to plan the units and then passed it on, so I will also pass over my resources to other teachers. 

Here is a PPT to go along with unit 1 for BTA30: computer technologies in business. 

Earth Sciences and Environmental Sciences

 I have begun a new journey in my career: upgrading my high school teachable subject to science. I have found that reaching out to organizations such as Mining Matters has been helpful in making the science curriculum achievable in a community where I recently taught. 

Here are a few environmental science related resources if this is something that you are teaching in your classrooms. 

An Inconvenient Truth is a great film to use in the science classroom to begin discussions around environmental issues and climate change.
