Kayaking out of Manteo harbor with the Queen Elizabeth II in the background This Thursday morning my marine biology class at Ashland University will be piling into two vans and trekking for 13 hours to the Oregon Inlet Campground on the outer banks of North Carolina for three days in the field. This is the [...] You would think that no new posts in four months would mean that blogging was far from my mind. But oh how wrong you would be. I have written before about the blogs I started for my marine bio course and senior capstone course on science communication. The marine blog in particular was [...] I have become an avid reader of the ProfHacker blog on the Chronicle website and recently came across some compendium posts loaded with advice for teachers dusting off those syllabi and planning for the start of the Fall semester.

My reasons for using each type of web technology differed, so I will hit them separately: The course blog I have [...] I recently returned from my latest class field trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

But it is now 4:18 am and I am off with a colleague and 10 students for my semi-annual field trip to Oregon Inlet, North Carolina in the Outer Banks for my Marine [...] I recently purchased two Flip video cameras for my Senior Capstone biology majors to use when shooting 60 second science videos later this semester. During this past week of spring break I took it on myself to give one a shakedown cruise to see if the built in editing software would do the trick for [...] It speaks for itself:
Thanks to a colleague for tacking this up in their office. I thought it was time liven up this space a bit. But the changes are more than skin deep.

And lower down in the right sidebar I have a section for Ashland science [...] |
