CSPAN

The old men in suits discuss Teach For America's effectiveness and funding on C-SPAN.

Work in Douglas

As part of my job, I have been working with Barron Orr on a Youth-Driven Community Asset Mapping project in Douglas, AZ.

Something we have been focusing on is mapping without resources. Online software like GoogleMaps is a much less sophisticated version of the ArcGIS software that we use in our lab, but is useful in technology transfer projects just the same. We were able to use GoogleMaps to help our youth during decision making processes.

Random fun: we stayed at the Gadsen Hotel which is known for being haunted.
