Concurrent Sessions 2c: Growing Sustainable Communities, Vincent Devito, Rebecca Davis, Peggy Sloan, Amy Kacala
Clean Energy Connections
Sustainable communities are an integral part of the clean energy economy - housing, jobs, innovation, growth. Several regions in Massachusetts were awarded Regional Sustainability Planning Grants in 2010 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, including the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, Metropolitan Area Planning Council, the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission and 2011 Preferred Sustainability Status holder, the Institute for Energy and Sustainability. Panelists from each agency will share how these plans will improve sustainability in Massachusetts communities, what we can learn from the similarities and differences of sustainability planning in each region and how groups and individuals …

Clean Energy Connections
This session (and live-streamed webinar) will be the culmination of a year (+) long project to coalesce clean energy innovators from business, labor, government, academia and community groups to take a snapshot of where we are, share information about our projects, think about strategies and tactics for the future, and re-energize ourselves for the work ahead in support of a robust clean energy industry in Massachusetts. Attendees at this session will hear about the key recurring themes, recommendations, conclusions born from the three summits in Lowell, New Bedford and Amherst, will hear about recent actions taken based on summit discussions, …

Operation Comics: Making Math Fun, Bruce Kessler
Operation Comics: Making Math Fun, Bruce Kessler
Bruce Kessler
This talk gives a background on the Operation Comics series, which integrates mathematics into a comic book storyline, as an example of how creativity is not exclusive to the traditional arts, like music and dance, but is a vital part of math, science, and engineering.
Mobile Technology As A Tool For Enhancing Student Learning In Geosciences, Sam Matson
Mobile Technology As A Tool For Enhancing Student Learning In Geosciences, Sam Matson
Mobile Learning Symposium
Incorporation of mobile technology into the post-secondary classroom is becoming increasingly common as universities seek to facilitate active, student-centered learning through rapid access to information, connect students with course content through social media, and evaluate digital alternatives to conventional instructor-student interaction. The m-Learning Scholars Program at Boise State University was initiated during the 2010 – 2011 academic year, and provides a venue for exploring the potential of mobile technology to enhance student learning in the geosciences. Through this program, 38 students in an introductory Earth History course for non-geoscience majors each purchased a subsidized handheld device (iPod touch) that they …
