Day 8

Today, I guest speaker was Dr. Becky Smith.  She was very enlightening about economics and service learning.  The powerpoints and videos were interesting and exciting to really understand this subject better.  Our next speaker was Dr. Cade Smith and his concentration was on service learning.  This was my first time really hearing about service learning.  In a way its similar to community service but a little more involved.  I thought it was interesting for students to go on field trips for a week to discover the Delta part of the South.  Dr. Heiselt also talked on service learning a little more.  Dr. Shaffett session on personal finance was very interesting.  I didn't know that the extension services covered some many counties and offered so many services.  One being reality world for students which our school is doing now.  The web conference with James Wilcox was interesting telling us about scams and frauds geared at senior citizens.  Overall, today was very interesting and exciting.
