Micro Brew:
Mixing Ideas for Successful Teaching Strategies in Microbiology
Micro Brew Abstract Deadline: March 31, 2008
At ASMCUE 2008, we will be piloting a new program to begin the day’s activities on Friday morning. This session, entitled “Micro Brew: Mixing Ideas for Successful Teaching Strategies in Microbiology”, will be a forum for sharing ideas and thoughts on best practices in microbiology education. Presenters will have a 15 minute time slot in which to discuss topics such as (but not limited to) successful:
-in class activities
-service learning ideas
-project ideas
-field activities
-laboratory activities
-discussion starters
-study tools
-assessment tools
-class management ideas
Assessment of the topics presented is NOT required, and presenters should use this time as an opportunity to field test the ideas and activities that they have developed on an audience of their peers. Presentations should be kept as simple “chalk talks” (i.e. no Powerpoint) in order to facilitate an informal yet productive discussion during the 15 minute time period. Presenters are responsible for providing any handouts related to their presentation.
Completed abstracts should be sent by March 31, 2008 as an attachment to EducationResources@asmusa.org. Please use Micro Brew as the subject line.
