Students will explore the Titanic and its' disaster. We will learn about steam engines, the different parts of the ship, what life was like aboard the ship, the different classes of passengers, the telegraph and Morse Code, all about icebergs, lifeboats, who got off the ship and in what order, being rescued by the Carpathia, and what artifacts have been brought up from the wreckage. 

I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
