Seriously. Keep up the good work. The fact that you have taken the bit that you are familiar with and continue to use it for such real-time advocacy is truly the best fruit of our entire program... @Katlin Dougherty, that is truly inspiring.

When I told him that I was a Marine Biology major he seemed pretty interested, I was so nervous that I started babbling on about how I went on the trip with you and your class, then how I have been promoting the seafood choices and all that jazz. I'm sure I looked like a complete idiot, but at least I knew something related to the environment. I, also, told my advisor about the Marine Biology program and how much of an amazing life changing program it is. He was very impressed that the class (program) like that is offered on the high school level in the MIDDLE of the United States. @nashworld, Well he came up here to Northwest to look at the pellet plant and stuff that runs our school, and I was there to represent the Environmental Organization on campus.

How awesome is that? Wow. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall there. What was his reaction ...anything other than expected? Thanks so much for popping in here and sharing such a cool story. I'm delighted that our classroom experience made such a lasting impression on not only you... but on the people you continue to come into contact with. That makes me very proud! @Katlin Dougherty, …you spoke of sustainability regarding seafood choices to the Governor of Missouri? How awesome is that? Wow.

I now have an iphone, and I am downloading the app as I type this!! I did a speech in my Oral Comm. class last semester on this topic, and my professor really loved it, I got the chance to video tape it, and now he uses my speech as an example that he shows to all his classes! This this semester I got the chance to meet with the govenor, and I discussed a bit of this topic with him as well! So, I just wanted to let you know that I am spreading the word about "saving the world" from Missouri in my own little way! :) Hey Nash!

That is a pretty cool resource even if nothing else. Of course I joined, however. ;-) I should also tell you that several of our departments this year adopted your text "Reinventing Project-Based Learning" as a collaborative study text towards best practice for this school year. (Social studies, Business and Family and Consumer Science off the top of my head) Thanks again, I appreciate your input. Sean @Suzie Boss, Thanks much for the tip on MobileActive!

You might also be interested in Mobile Active (mobileactive.org), an organization that focuses on using mobile devices for social action.
