I liked that this internship gave me a lot of opportunities to grow. I was able to teach patrons of all ages. I was able to learn a lot about different subjects. I was able to teach different subjects. I was able to help with different educational events and help coordinate with a field trip to the Museum of Idaho with the school I was placed at. I was also able to learn about different educational technologies that I am currently using in my teaching. I am also now aware of different resources the Museum of Idaho has for educators.
What I wish was different
I do wish I was able to work more hours at the museum.
Advice
