Throughout the two-day symposium participants will break out into a number of workshops, interactive presentations, and roundtables, where they will have the opportunity to discuss cutting edge environmental education research ideas and policy. Results of current environmental education research will be presented in a series of more formal presentations and posters and several plenary discussions will focus on current trends in environmental education research.
This curriculum presents a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on the top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities.
The course emphasizes concepts and skills required to design networks, while providing opportunities for practical application and hands-on experience by teaching students how to install, operate, and maintain networks.
Students will acquire skill through hands on and virtual labs using the Cisco Packet tracer.

Eighteen conference fellowships are available to attend the 12th annual weeklong intensive
Summer Fellows Forum. The Bio-Link National Center will select individuals geographically to
receive the fellowship from the following categories: a community or technical college
biotechnology instructor, a community or technical college math or science instructor, and a high
school teacher. First consideration will be given to applicants who have not yet attended a Bio-
Link Summer Fellows Forum or received the fellowship. However, consideration will be given
to past Fellows who can demonstrate how this conference will provide necessary and unique
value to their students, region and themselves.
At the Forum, participants will learn new skills and techniques, examine and test exemplary
curriculum models and course material, engage in dialogue about ethical, legal, and social issues
in biotechnology and learn how to disseminate this information within their own regions.
Fellows are expected to implement new strategies into their own programs, to lead regional staff
development activities, and provide prompt response to follow-up surveys.
The Bio-Link Fellowship (Application below) includes single occupancy accommodations (or
commuter if local) and designated meals. Due to rising accommodation and meal costs any
lodging charges associated with "no shows", late arrivals, early departures or unattended meals
will become the responsibility of the Fellow and billed to the Fellow at the conclusion of the
Forum. It is the Fellows responsibility to fund all travel costs (including parking and shuttle
fees) to and from the Forum.
Deadline for application to the National Center is Friday, March 26th, 2010. Once the
fellowships have been awarded, Fellows will be notified and emailed the “Fellowship
Registration Form” with further registration instructions and information.

This workshop will explore the georeferencing of historical maps. A historical map that was originally created on paper will not have an electronic reference to the surface of the earth. This workshop will explore how to take a map that was originally created on paper and reference it to the surface of the earth so that it can be utilized in a geospatial system. This allows the educator to utilize today’s images with data created in the past. The specific case that will be done will be to georeference civil war battlefields with imagery and shapefiles of today. The heads up digitization of information contained on the map will also be done. No previous GIS knowledge is required. Online video and printable documents will be available for the participants to use after the workshop. Instructor: Vince DiNoto Workshop will meet in Room 108 of the Business building.

Nanotechnology really does impact a wide range of industries. You may be under the impression that it is limited to electronics, but it actually spans across many different disciplines. The food industry is another sector that is very interested in how nanotechnology can improve current production methods. Traditional fabrication methods, along with new techniques in self-assembly, are being applied to food processing. Food scientists and engineers are working to improve nutritional content and delivery, packaging, and the ability to track and monitor products over time.
NACK Center staff will give an overview of how nanotechnology is impacting the food industry by providing some examples of recent advancements in this area. Current research will also be discussed to bring some insight into where the future of food processing may be heading. You may be surprised to learn that the food industry is already taking advantage of these modifications based at the nano-scale.
