For the third year, Tech Connect will be held at Colby College with support from Colby's Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement and ACTEM. Made possible by Tech Integrators attending regional meetings, TechConnect is a grassroots effort designed to embrace a broader field of like-minded people to share with one another, learn from each other, and most importantly, support one another. The theme of this year's conference is, "Let's Collaborate!" It is our hope that participants will leave with ideas and tools for helping their fellow teachers to collaborate with others around their district, the state, the country, and the world. The core group of TechConnect planners will provide opportunities for sharing/generating collaborative projects ideas, tools for collaboration, as well as a session for connecting with other integrators. Our day includes an afternoon session with Colby professor, Dr. Philip Nyhus professor of Environmental Science. Dr. Nyhus will share his collaborative, interdisciplinary research that bridges the natural and social sciences to address human interactions with the environment using GIS-based spatial models. He is particularly interested in the policy dimensions of human-wildlife conflict and endangered species conservation. His current research includes biodiversity risk assessment, large landscape conservation, and tiger and large mammal conservation in the US and Asia. Other connections to the endeavors and practices of Colby Colleges technology integration and collaboration are in the works. There is no fee or charge to attend the conference. Lunch and snacks will be provided by the Goldfarb Center. Contact Hours are available. Door prizes will be drawn at the end of the day thanks to generous support from ACTEM. Driving directions, building and room details, and parking information will be sent in an e-mail to attendees when finalized. Thank you for your interest in TechConnect 2013!
