Two weeks ago, the Eco-Club was welcomed with open arms to the Harvard Herbaria, where the wonderful assistant curators gave a tremendous presentation on herbology and the vast collection of plant specimen from around the world housed and preserved on the Harvard campus. Students learned about plant classification, co-evolution of plants and animals, and saw a number of exotic and fascinating plant forms from Costa Rica and other central american countries.
To thank our new friends at the Harvard Herbaria, the students took time out of the April 1st Eco-Club meeting to record thank yous and reflections on their "favorite moments" from the field trip. It was a privilege to oversee the taping sessions and a delight to hear first-hand how much they had all taken in from their experience. I was excited to pool all the recordings together and combine them into one big thank you to publish for the world to see!
To my horror I was reminded later that day of how technology giveth and technology taketh away! I still feel the experience was rewarding for the students, and will help them when they go to record their own video clips while in Costa Rica, but this time around a simple over-sized thank you card might have sufficed! (sigh) We all have our off days...
