Problem
Bring to mind the various biotechnologies that you learned about in this week's Learning Resources and the potential benefits and hazards associated with them. Now, think about your role as a teacher in educating your students about these important advancements in science.
Consider the following questions:
1. How can you help students to become critical consumers of information as it relates to learning about biotechnologies?
2. Is it possible for you to remain unbiased when teaching about these controversial issues? Should you remain unbiased?
3. What exactly is your role as an educator when exploring these issues with students?
4. How does a teacher's personal beliefs come into play? Should you share your personal beliefs with students?
Explain the role you should play in teaching students about topics related to biotechnologies. Include an explanation of your perspective on whether or not you should remain unbiased in the process and provide clear rationale to support your position.
