Your Classroom as a "Chick-Fil-A" Leadercast Venue!

Readers,


I just applied to be a host for a "Chick-Fil-A" Leadercast! I think our students would benefit from the experience and I think it is a low-cost, no-cost experience for our university personnel (professional development)!!!


Through this opportunity, the students (and other participants) will hear from NATIONALLY KNOWN speakers through a webcast at the university (or another venue)!

2010 Student Research Symposium - Our Undergrads ROCKED It!

Readers,


Today was a very rewarding day! I admit, before attending the "Tarleton Student Research Symposium", I was quite nervous and excited (at the SAME time). However, the students in my COMS 304 - Interpersonal Communication and COMS 332 - Intercultural Communication courses ROCKED the symposium! They did such a GREAT job! By the way, these Google Docs EXPERTS created their collaborative papers using Google Documents, analyzed their data using Google Spreadsheets, and I created their presentations using Google Presentations (which they edited).


Two of our favorite librarians attended the symposium to support our students and to hear their research results! We APPRECIATE our LIBRARIANS! :)


Here are their abstracts - LINK.


Congratulations to such WONDERFUL undergraduate students!

Sustainability in the Classroom Events for Fall | Center for Teaching | Vanderbilt University

I thought this article was REALLY neat! We had a "green" conference last year and I hope we incorporate some of these ideas from Vanderbilt University! :)
