This was a fantastic class. From the book "First Generation," the Discussion Boards, the Google Earth assignment, and the final project --- all of these course components helped me improve my cultural awareness and appreciation of diversity.

I loved this course and all of the resources; Smithsonian, Google Earh and the timelines. I finished the course with several lessons that I could use in my classroom (elementary ed).

Agreed. This course does take more time than projected, but the skills and information gleaned in the process is useful and you will walk away with something you can use in class.
