Presenter: Michele Monlux
I teach anatomy, physiology and human biology at Modesto Junior
College in the Central Valley of CA. Most of my students are hoping to
get into the nursing program or some other allied health program.
My undergraduate degree is in biochemistry and my graduate work
was in exercise physiology. Both degrees are from University of
California at Berkeley. Go BEARs! I have been teaching for 25 years
and still enjoy it although I am growing tired of correcting labs and lab
practicums.
I have a wonderful husband and 2 fun sons, a Navy diver and a
college student. I live on a few acres with dogs, minidonkeys, horses, llamas and cows in a little town, Oakdale, which has
more cows than people.
I love sailing, especially in the San Francisco Bay, knitting, tennis
doubles, and hiking anywhere but especially Yosemite National
Park, a short drive from my house.

Khahn Academy on TED talk

lecture

A flipped classroom, allows for more active learning
