KABT Fall Meeting: Web 2.0 at the University of Kansas
BLOGS, WIKI’s, and Facebook–oh my…
Plan on attending KABT’s fall meeting scheduled for Sept. 13th at KU. We’ll meet on the first floor of the school of education’s JRP building just west of the football stadium at 8:30 a.m. for preregistration. We are charging a modest $10 registration fee. There is no registration form but leave me a comment to this post if you think you are coming so we can get an idea of the numbers. KU’s school of education tech department has graciously made their computer labs available for this meeting. Most of the meeting will feature hands-on computer explorations of WEB 2.0 applications and their impact on biology education. The day is scheduled in 45 minute blocks. Two blocks have concurrent sessions.

Leave me a comment, here if you plan to attend. For now these two videos can set the stage, give you an idea of what we will cover and whet your appetite. These two videos were produced by a dynamic assistant professor at KSU, Michael Wesch.
You can find the videos on this page. I moved them because school sites were blocking their viewing and hence the post itself.

The KABT fall conference was very good yesterday, I enjoyed all parts of it! The visit to Monarch Watch was the highlight for me. I am in my classroom right now, placing my monarch larva on milkweek plants I gathered at Frisco lake on the way home. Thanks for the tip Brad!
Thanks to all involved, I enjoyed the day!
Brad, your time is about up!
KU 2.0 is wow.
