Rebecca Orr
I teach introductory biology for majors at Collin College, a two-year college in McKinney, Texas. I enjoy focusing on the creation of active learning opportunities that both engage and challenge students. I love using the wide variety of BioInteractive resources that are available to educators, as they reflect attention to detail and can be relied on to be scientifically accurate. I also love that these resources can be modified and expanded to create activities that fit my students’ needs. Teaching biology gives me the opportunity to help my students develop a sense of inquiry, as well as the ability to analyze and evaluate data so that they can apply these skills in their everyday lives. When I’m not teaching, I love to travel with my family.
