What I expected and got from this course

• Better understanding and preparation for US
  Higher Education job market
• How to effectively write persuasive grant
  proposal (build upon previous failures and
  successes)
• How to effectively break down the teaching and
  learning elements of petrography

• Blooms taxonomy
• Cognitive domain
• Psychomotor domain
• Affective domain
• Sequencing of cognitive development
• Individual grain ID
• Relating ID to significance
• Develop expert knowledge

Greater Learning Efficiency Through Interactive
Digital Image Presentation

• Targeted for use in laboratory portion of upper
  level geology courses
• Providing hundreds of interactive virtual
  specimens with exemplary observations and
  interpretations
• Strategically designed quiz modules for measuring
  cognitive development
• Will potentially impact larger audiences taking
  lower level geology courses, Earth Science, and
  Environmental Science courses in smaller schools
