Class Experience
Are you excited for the Olympics? Then come and join us as we explore the history of the international games. We will go all the way back to ancient Olympic Games in Greece over 3,000 years ago and look at what events were held and who was allowed to participate. We will then flash forward to Athens, Greece in 1896 with the first "modern" games. Who participated? What events were held? What was the response around the globe? What does the symbol represent?

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 and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
50 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
There will some discussion of sexism (women were barred from the original games), racism, and discrimination. All discussions will be at an age appropriate level. There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.
