Week 6

The final week!  Wow!  When I consider from where we started and where we now are in our research, I can definately say that we have come a long way!  We gave our Powerpoint presentations and printed our posters yesterday.   The posters are now hanging in their places in preparation for the presentations later today.  Sitting here with the rest of my 2012 RET group, I hear each one say how s/he has enjoyed this summer RET experience beyond what they ever expected.  We especially loved the way we dived into science content learning and immediately began our research projects.  This has been the best professional development any of us has ever participated in.  We all look forward to implementing our lessons with our classes and coming back during the year to share what we have done and, of course, to visit with all our friends here at the Photonics Lab at Boston University.  What a great summer we have had!  Thank you Mike, Cynthia, and Helen and all who so graciously took us into their projects.
