Do you want to know what I had for breakfast? How bad traffic is in Chicago rush hour? Of course not! But by now, you've probably have had a chance to try out Twitter and engage in the actual conversations that can help you become an active member of an always-on learning network. This session will help you extend and add value to your Twitter experience by demonstrating a variety of new Twitter tools that can serve to create a more comprehensive and capable platform for learning. Leave the session with an understanding of how to enlarge the affordances of Twitter and how to make it an essential part of your practice.

The Bugscope project provides free interactive access to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) so that students anywhere in the world can explore the microscopic world of insects. This educational outreach program from the Beckman Institute's Imaging Technology Group at the University of Illinois supports K-16 classrooms worldwide.
Bugscope allows teachers everywhere to provide students with the opportunity to become microscopists themselves—the kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high-magnification, and discuss what they see with our scientists—all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection.
