Hospitality & Tourism Curriculum
This week we are featuring MOOCs: Massive Open Online Courses that are free and available for anyone to enroll. To prepare students for post-secondary learning, many high school teachers are turning to MOOCs, which are offered by universities around the world, to expose students to higher-level coursework.

Hospitality: Introduce students to the career opportunities and adventures available to Hospitality and Tourism professionals with this Introduction to the Hospitality and Tourism Industry.

Tourism: By taking the Tourism and Travel Management course, developed around one of the world's premier destinations, Queensland in Australia, students will experience challenges, and solutions, reflective of the ever-changing global tourism and travel industry.

Culinary Arts: In this Sustainable Food Security: Food Access course, students learn what it takes to provide access to a safe and nutritious food supply every day. Explore how key actors at household, local, national and international levels negotiate and make choices on access to food. 

Marketing: Learn about Ethical Social Media and the shadow side associated with its use, which takes the form of hate speech, increased surveillance, lack of anonymity and questionable use of our data.
HOW WE'RE TEACHING ONLINE 
Want to record video instructions for your students? Check out Loom, one of our favorite free edtech tools. You can easily record your screen along with a video of you talking, and add simple edits like drawing on screen or trimming out parts of your recording. Then review these tips to make sure you look and sound your best on your video calls.
WHAT WE'RE LEARNING - RACIAL EQUITY IN PRACTICE
Use this workbook to learn about the four elements of a culturally competent classroom and assess your cultural competence and responsiveness. And invite your students and alumni to join “Youth Voice on Voting” an interactive discussion on October 8 at 4:30 PM ET. Participants will talk about the importance of voting, how you can get involved in your community, and the issues that matter the most to them.
WHEN WORK-BASED LEARNING GOES VIRTUAL 
Check out these instructions on how to use Google maps to identify local businesses. This is a great project for students to support outreach efforts and develop understanding of the businesses in their local community. Then learn how to engage employers for work-based learning and service on advisory boards.
