When anyone talks about history, geography, or any of the subjects under the social sciences banner, do you ever picture something old, quaint, or a grainy image that comes to mind?
Well, guess what? History and geography could be fun too.
Using practical and real-world examples, I like to immerse myself and my students in whichever pantheon of history we find ourselves in.
As a geomatic engineer, by training, knowing the physical world—that is, what we see around us—and knowing how there is a symbiotic relationship between that and the social world—that is, the intangible—is a necessary skillset to have.
As a student, having the right foundation was vital for me to gain that profound interest and channel my passion into a career as a result of that early exposure, I try to help my students by first building their interests in it rather than just treating as just another subject you need to pass to graduate.
