Why Isn't the US on the Metric System?- Podcast Activity
This activity was designed as an extension activity for my technology and engineering students. I usually offer this activity as an extra credit opportunity during our measurement unit, or it makes a great sub-day activity.

Teaching style
I use a variety of teaching strategies, but I prefer to let me students learn by doing. Most of my resources are designed as skill-builders for students to use as they practice technical drawing, CAD skills, measurement, etc. I love hands-on projects, and have also developed a lot of resources for facilitating hands on learning on the workshop environment.
I rely heavily on digital teaching tools, videos, and other forms of multimedia.
My own education history
I earned my Bachelors and Masters in Technology Education from SUNY Oswego in Oswego, NY.
I am a certified PLTW teacher in multiple Gateway to Technology units (RIT) as well as Intro to Engineering Design (RIT) and Principles of Engineering (MSOE).
