The title of this post is also the title of this year's Space Exploration Educator's Conference, where this whole thing started. I decided to continue as a SEEC Crew member for my 2nd year in space exploration education. I can explain my year in space exploration, but explaining SEEC is no easy feat. It's one of those, you had to be there situations. Luckily I was able to document my experience. I even had to delete a few apps to make room for all of the photos! It's really difficult to describe it in a way that does it justice. Therefore, this post is going to be formatted in slightly different way to hopefully represent this amazing professional development. It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here goes nothing... This video shows me describing the features of the ISS Above. Check out a recording of our ISS Downlink with Joe Acaba, former teacher and astronaut currently on Station. You can hear the questions I submitted at the end of the video. For those of you who have experienced SEEC - The energy, awesome presentations, lightbulb moments for things you can do in your classroom, reunion with old friends and meeting new ones - know that the reacclimation process can be challenging. After SEEC, I took part in a 2-day Google Level 1 training. Returning to school, I've been very energized and passionate to share my SEEC experience with the teachers and students I work with. I was also able to incorporate FlipGrid and Screencastify as part of Genius Hour for the first time. I'm looking forward to using what I learned from SEEC to create stations for Mission Days for our kiddos. Seeing kids fascinated by the ISS Above, hearing them interested in careers and sparking their curiosity in the SpaceX is AMAZING!!! I would encourage each of you to venture into the unknown to this Destination Beyond. If Elon Musk can send his red Tesla into space, we can do anything :) Whether that's trying a new activity, incorporating a new technology tool, collaborating with teachers, applying to be a presenter or member of the SEEC Crew next year... It's worth it!
Peace, love and Space Exploration, CAPCOM Conrad
