What happened on Sept. 11, 2001? I remember sitting in my freshman early morning Chemistry class in college and my professor kept coming and going from class. He told us that something was happening in New York. Something had happened with the Twin Towers. Class got canceled, and I went racing back to my dorm room and woke up my roommates. We immediately went online to try and figure out what was happening in New York City. Information just couldn't come fast enough! All of us have memories of what we were doing on the fateful morning of Sept. 11, and how the world changed so fast. Now our students have grown up in a post 9/11 world. How do we teach 9/11?
