Gordon Research Conference on Visualization in Science and Education

Latest news for chemical education devotees. We created a new ning network for ACS Division of Chemical Education during the BCCE! Apply to join the network, but as far as I know, it is limited to Divched dues-paying members. Membership grew to nearly 300 in the week after the BCCE (Biennial Conference on Chemical Education)!

The NSF Workshop for the Gordon Research Conference on Visualization in Science and Education (2007 info) was May 12, 2008 at NSF in Arlington. Great presentations from the mini-grants awarded in 2005 and 2007.

The next GRC Viz will be at Magdalen College Oxford July 26-31, 2009. More detailed info will be available in early 2009. Don't forget to check the conference History link to view agendas from previous years.

If you don't know about Gordon Conferences, check out www.grc.org and look under Conferences.

What's on Your Member Page? Share your research, create a workshop, have your students create a class resource page, or stream live video. This social network is an experimental space for bringing together different disciplinary "worlds" for collaboration and discussion.



What do you know about Social Media and Web 2.0. Here's an overview I found in a Slideshare search. It's really cool--check out what I (Liz) have uploaded.


The Groups on this page (below) contain a growing collection of links to research by experts in key areas, related journals, and open discussions. Watch the JCE Digital Library Group for an upcoming online workshop.
New content in the Web 2.0 Social Media Tools and the Second Life Groups!

Second Life is a good place to contact me these days (as Chimera Cosmos). The Virtual Worlds: Libraries, Education and Museums Conference and the NMC Mashups Symposium were great events. Visit www.nmc.org to get an idea of what amazing people and places you are missing if you are not a resident yet!

I learned about (and visited) the SL virtual Sistine Chapel, Louvre, an Old Masters Museum in Dresden, and the exhibits in the Swedish Embassy. There was a great pre-conference party at Club Java on Sum Microsystems Island for one conferece. Come on in and join the fun and networking!

I configured this Network so you can add photos from your Flickr account. Of course, you can upload or post by email too. Click on the "Photos" tab above.
