Of course, Focus on Problem based learning. Focus on how you teach modern history; your teaching is interdisciplinary and integrates STEM or collaborate with your engineering and science teachers to present examples of problem based learning. May be you can get some of your students to co-present. Just a thought
Thanks Mano. I shall see what I can offer the conference attendees by way of a seminar! Hopefully, our experience in doing Project and Problem Based Learning across all faculties might be of interest to some?? Adam
