Wednesday Morning Plenary, Doris Hamill, Tom Miles
USBI Biochar Conferences
Tom Miles will kick off the "Where to From Here" conversation that is critical to understanding next steps for the biochar industry in North America.

Data Analysis Using Regression Modeling: Visual Display And Setup Of Simple And Complex Statistical Models, Emil N. Coman, Maria A. Coman, Eugen Iordache, Russell Barbour, Lisa Dierker
Data Analysis Using Regression Modeling: Visual Display And Setup Of Simple And Complex Statistical Models, Emil N. Coman, Maria A. Coman, Eugen Iordache, Russell Barbour, Lisa Dierker
Yale Day of Data
We present visual modeling solutions for testing simple and more advanced statistical hypotheses in any research field. All models can be directly specified in analytical software like Mplus or R.
Data analysis in any substantive field can be easily accomplished by translating statistical tests in the intuitive language of regression-based path diagrams with observed and unobserved variables. All models we presented can be directly specified and estimated in analytical software.
Students can particularly benefit from being taught the simple regression modeling setup of the path analytical method, as it empowers them to apply the techniques to any data to test …
Session E-1: Hiding In Plain Sight, Micah Fogel
Session E-1: Hiding In Plain Sight, Micah Fogel
Professional Learning Day
Were the plays of William Shakespeare really written by Francis Bacon, who left a coded signature in plain sight? Can spies send messages without using codes and without getting caught? Steganography is the art of hiding messages in plain sight but in a way so that only those in on the secret can find them. We'll learn a few tricks about how to hide messages in pieces of text or sound and image files on a computer.
Session E-4: What's Up With The Higgs Boson? Teaching Particle Physics In High School, Peter Dong
Session E-4: What's Up With The Higgs Boson? Teaching Particle Physics In High School, Peter Dong
Professional Learning Day
Best-selling books, popular PBS specials, and multi-billion-dollar machines all attest to the fascination with particle physics - including many teenagers. Physics and physical science classes can capitalize on this interest by talking about high-profile results, such as last summer's Higgs Boson Discovery. This session will answer some basic questions about contemporary particle physics and suggest some ideas for lessons and projects in particle physics.
Session F-4: Using Web Tools And Strategies To Enhance Student Engagement, Jackie Naughton, Frank Tomsic
Session F-4: Using Web Tools And Strategies To Enhance Student Engagement, Jackie Naughton, Frank Tomsic
Professional Learning Day
Web tools and strategies will be introduced and modeled. Teachers will leave this session able to immediately implement the tools and strategies in their classrooms. Participants must bring their own devices.
