2 votes Science Speakers - reaching, and working with public institutions rpcvadam What is the best way to connect teachers with resources in science and technology? I built https://mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/ScienceSpeakers/ to meet this need and already have some registered speakers, but my web host has become afraid of negative publicity should there be a bad experience. Are there better hosting options available, or web designers interested in collaborating to circumvent some of these problems? What ideas do people have for disseminating such a tool after it is built, and ensuring its acceptance and sustainability in schools?

This session will share experiences and recommendations around the themes of "Pick something, anything; just use it" and "use web-apps and net-utilities; improvise workflows on top".

1 votes Meditation, Contemplation, Inspiration! Dave Hendrickson According to a USA Today article, entrepreneurs are more likely to pray and/or meditate than the rest of the population: 32% say they meditate and 34% say they “look up to the Lord.” The benefits of meditation include lower blood pressure, more energy, greater creativity and improved concentration, more confidence, vitality, and peacefulness, and many more. This workshop is participatory and fun. No experience necessary. Enlightenment not guaranteed.
