Future...

The overarching theme of my blog is teaching with best practices and keeping in mind that students are all different; they are diverse. I tried to tie in themes from the sciences, particularly biology within the blogs since I am going to be a science teacher, thus making the blog personalized. Furthermore, I have incorporated my perspectives on teaching biology to a diverse student population, particularly literacy. There are many literacies, and students will have various ones that they will bring to the classroom, which I will need to be aware and know how to incorporate them into my practices so to be an effective teacher. I will continue to blog about teaching, more specifically about biology; about my interests in biology and current issues surrounding teaching biology, such as the evolution versus creation issue. I may also delve into current societal topics in the sciences; for example new technologies, vaccines, diseases, etc…. I may also further expand my thoughts about the nature of dichotomies and how they are false; the world is not comprised of dichotomies but multiplicities. Maybe I will include thoughts about new works of literature that I will read and their connections to the themes in the blogs, themes of human diversity, multiple literacies, teaching philosophies, the curricula, critical literacies, epistemological diversity and neoliberalism. So it will be interesting to see how I continue this work in the future.
