This evening I taught the first class in my International Marketing Course. In the class I created six teams and each could work on any industry of their choice which they thought offered greatest potential in the future for employment and opportunities.
Of the four groups that reported tonight, three groups chose the topic of "going green." The students covered different aspects of going green and how it is a positive outcome for everyone. One team chose health care.
The students appear to be more finely tuned into the world, and are becoming more aware and conscious of the consequences of their actions. It has been a very pleasant evening teaching, or rather learning from, these students.
