We learned a lot from Dean Six's presentation. He was very informative and passionate about glass. Growing up in the plastic age I did not realize the importance of glass. I knew about fancy glasses, bowls and artsy items. Half of my glasses are made out of glass and I remember returning glass coke bottles for deposits, but I had taken it for granted. I did not know the extent that the glass industry was a part of everyday life. I knew that the glass industry was an important industry in West Virginia, but was surprised about how big. Another thing I found interesting was that the glass industry started at Jamestown in the colonies.
Great podcast. You could do the dame thing with your students by having them state what they have learned and post to a blog. Excellent resources for your blog.
