The National Building Museum is thrilled that you and your students are using the Design For Disaster curriculum kits and that you are a part of the Design for Disaster evaluation process. This blog is one of the elements of that evaluation process.
These kits are prototypes and we want to know what works, what needs to be changed, what is missing, and what can be left out. That is the purpose of this blog - to provide a space for teachers to discuss the kits.
This is a public blog, although moderated by Caren S Oberg and Tim Wright, and we will do our best to block spam and those who are not a part of this evaluation process. But please be aware of what you post.
We will post questions every other Monday to which you may want to respond. You have to respond at least 3 times before June as part of the evaluation process. You should also feel free to post ideas, pictures, questions, concerns, and anything else related to the kits. In short, we hope you will consider this blog a place to respond, suggest changes, and exchange ideas about the kit.
This blog will be live through June 2014.
If you have any questions or concerns about the blog please contact Tim Wright at the National Building Museum at twright@nbm.org.

I am a middle school science teacher always looking for a way to make science real and accessible to my students. Since the news media is constantly relating stories of disasters around the world, and since my students are constantly exposed to this reporting, I am hoping that this project will make a real world connection.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you are considering how the Kit can be used to make real world connections for your students. Can you already envision how your students might view the world differently because of the Kit, even if that difference is subtle?
