Beginning of Week 3

I have had two more great days here at the Digital Learning Network.  I am still working on becoming a master of space knowledge in my free time.  Yesterday was the first day since I have been here that a module was presented from Langley, and there wasn't just one.... there were two! So, the presenter, Karen, let me sit in on both of them.  It was awesome! As I stated before, I have gotten the privilege of observing many of the modules from the other nine NASA centers, but it was a different perspective to see the behind the scenes stuff that I usually do not see. One of the modules was presented to teachers, which I found interesting.  I learned that the DLN likes to present to teachers because the teachers can use the information and teach it to their students, thus reaching to more students than just presenting to a single class of students.

After sending my two proposals for modules to Brandy, another DLN member in Texas, she suggested sticking with my Algebra module because it will reach more students.  So, I have been working on researching more about neutron stars, pulsars, and the Crab Nebula in order to make an exciting and interesting module for math students.

I am having such a learning experience and I love everyone and everything I have been working with!

Another fun fact: A sugar-cube sized chunk of a neutron star weighs over one billion tons!!!
