Dr. Jessica Olney Shares Her Notes from the STEMtech Conference

Jessica Olney, PhD, Physical Science Instructor at the Ybor Campus, attended the STEMtech Conference, 10/31-11/3, 2010 in Orlando. Since her return from the conference, Dr. Olney has been utilizing new technology in her classroom. She uses Prezi and Google Apps, as well as other online and software resources. Dr. Olney plans on offering suggestions to the Sustainability Council regarding sustainability outreach for the campus, college and community based on information that she gathered the first day of the conference.

Overall, Dr. Olney felt that attending the conference was worthwhile. She gained a lot of information from the first session that she attended, as well as from the keynote speakers and roundtable discussions. She also enjoyed speaking with the vendors in the exhibit hall.
