post-Katrina aftermath

Now all the sections have finished watching the Katrina video. We discussed a lot of complicated issues, and I especially want to commend Section 05 for rising to the occasion and asking some interesting questions in class.

In tonight's blog, sum up what you learned or what you found interesting in this video.

I'll be looking at the TodaysMeet tweets soon, and giving out good grades for good questions and comments, and lower grades for...the other stuff.

This weekend you read GLOBAL CLIMATES: An Uncertain Forecast (p. 53), up to the end of Global Wind Patterns, halfway through p. 55. Review this material tonight, and you'll be ready for class tomorrow.

Katrina, Katrina

Section 03 got their first look at Hurricane Katrina: The Storm That Drowned a City. (The website to accompany the video is here.) We also had a (graded) virtual discussion via TodaysMeet.

For tonight's blog, tell me your impressions of the video, plus tell me what you think of the whole TodaysMeet format, and how your class handled it.
