 Thursday October 14, 2004-Saturday October 16, 2004

 Technology in Biology Education

Computers and equipment play important roles in science today.  They have become the tools that we need to do our science and sometimes it feels like science is determined by the tools.  How much time needs to be used introducing students to these tools?  What are some creative and/or new ways to bring computers into our classrooms.  What other forms of technology need to be there?  What are useful ways to evaluate the impact of use of technology in the classroom? 

 Here are some examples of potential presentation topics: 

·        scientific technology

·        databases

·        bioinformatics

·        "gear technology”

·       innovative uses of the web (Powerpoints, bulletin boards, online exams)

·       "drop boxes”

·       student generated posters/ on-line posters

·        personal response systems

·        simulations.

 Presentations, posters, and workshops addressing other topics are welcome.

 Many of you have so much to contribute to help us all become better teachers.  Please consider sharing your ideas and techniques at the 49th Annual Meeting of ACUBE at Wabash College, Crawfordville, IN in 2004.  Please email your abstract and mail or FAX a hard copy of the abstract with the completed form by August 1, 2004 to:
