She runs an active research program in respiratory health and also serves as the director for the Cellular and Molecular Biology Interdisciplinary Graduate Program at NDSU. A researcher and instructor, Jane earned a BS in zoology and a PhD in cellular and molecular biology from North Dakota State University and served as a postdoctoral fellow in pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School before returning to NDSU as a faculty member in 2004.Jane has extensive experience with economic development, working with regional groups including the Barry Foundation, Emerging Prairie, the Greater Fargo Moorhead EDC, and Dakota Medical Foundation. In addition to serving on numerous boards and committees, she was the interim Dean of the NDSU College of Business (2014-2016); Assistant Dean for academic programs for the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources at NDSU (2012-2015); and the Associate Director for Research for the ND Agricultural Experiment Station at NDSU.Jane’s research interests include immunology and allergic responses to mold. Her Immunology Laboratory has developed an animal model that closely mimics the human disease caused by the inhalation of?Aspergillus fumigatus?mold spores. These particular spores are responsible for a large number of human mold-induced diseases with severity ranging from simple respiratory allergies to deadly invasive diseases. The lab’s researchers have collaborated with the University of Utah and ARUP National Reference Laboratory on developing ultra-sensitive diagnostic test for diseases caused by?A. fumigatus. Jane has been awarded or contributed to more than $14.5 million in research grants.Jane was named Vice President of Research and Creative Activity in 2018. As a Land Grant university, NDSU serves the people of the state of ND through education and service, as well as both basic and applied research. Jane is a passionate advocate for both researchers and their research and she ensures that the faculty at NDSU have support across a variety of services include grant submission and proposal development; integrity and compliance requirements; training; and industry relations. 8:00-8:50 Keynote SpeakerTheater Session 53Jeff Weld132080079375Dr. Jeffrey Weld“America’s Strategy for STEM Education—Why?

Once issues have been identified, effective practices for achieving access and equity will be discussed.9:00-9:50Technology All1616Session 56“Cybersecurity For You And Your Family”Tony Auklandaaukland@We often discuss cybersecurity "at work" but what about our personal lives? Are you taking the steps necessary to take care of your own cybersecurity. We will discuss real world examples in North Dakota and how you can better care for your personal cybersecurity.9:00-9:50STEM 6-121614Session 57“Future City Series #1”Julie Robinsonjulie.robinson@und.edu. Session 1 (Future City Design/Math) – Participants will be introduced to the Future City competition and will employ both math strategies and technological tools to design the layout of a city that meets aesthetic and energy use constraints. This 3-part series of sessions will introduce participants to Future City – an international STEAM competition for middle school students in which they “imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future”. Not only will they learn about how to involve their students in the Future City competition and about the many resources to which they will have access, but they will also have the opportunity to engage in the research and building components of the program during this session. While the sessions all relate to the overall theme of Future City and exploring renewable energy sources in this fully-integrated STEAM experience, each will have its own distinct focus as outlined below. They may be attended as a cohesive series or will also be valuable as stand-alone sessions as well, and participants will leave with information about becoming involved with the Future City competition as well as a file of resources, drawn from our STEAM Energy! project, that they can use in their classrooms to further explore energy with their students, including lesson plans, student materials, spreadsheets, and templates. 9:00-9:50Math K-121618Session 58“Teachers’ Nonverbal Immediacy Behaviors During Instruction”Sonja Brandsonja.brandt@und.eduTeachers use hand signals, change their tone of voice, and use various types of movement all day, every day in the classroom. Teachers also work to find and plan ways to get their students engaged in each lesson. They want their students to not only pay attention, but to learn and retain the information that they are learning in the classroom. Did you realize that teachers' choice of nonverbal behaviors can greatly impact student learning? In teaching and learning, immediacy refers to the intentional, nonverbal elements that teachers can plan and implement alongside content to maximize student learning. Picture a teacher using big arm movements and a low tone of voice to emphasize how big an obtuse angle is, or holding up two fingers on each hand while explaining that rectangles have two sets of parallel sides. Have you noticed someone saying "hmmm", tapping a finger to their chin, and wrinkling their forehead while they're trying to decide how to answer a question? Have you watched someone's face as their eyes and mouth grow wide to show that they're excited or surprised? By watching and listening while someone is talking, you get a clearer picture of what they are sharing with you. In the classroom setting, each of these count as nonverbal immediacy behaviors to model, illustrate, and reinforce learning concepts. Dr. Sonja Brandt's research on elementary teachers' nonverbal immediacy behaviors during math instruction will cause you to stop and think and then get ready to plan how you can implement these small but effective principles to positively impact student engagement and learning in any content area. 9:00-9:50Math K-21621Session 59“Effective Math Strategies Using A Hands-On Approach”Tracy MittleiderTracy.Mittleider@k12.nd.usStudents often struggle with relating addition to multiplication and subtraction to division. In our classroom, we make our transitions easy for the students to relate difficult math concepts. They do not think of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division as separate tasks while doing math. My presentation will show you how my students naturally started related numbers by using visualization and hands-on approaches. I will also show how we use fun math games instead of flash cards to build upon strategies used in the classroom.9:00-9:50Math 3-51622Session 60“Teaching Math With Card Games? Yes, You Can!”Kathleen Cotter LawlerKathleen@Are you tired of getting your students to do their flashcards? Do your students groan when you give another timed test? Are you frustrated because your students can’t seem to remember the multiples of 7? Use games to teach and review math facts! This hands-on workshop will have you playing fabulous and effective math card games that are easy and fun. Imagine your students asking you to practice their math facts! Come and discover games to help your kids learn math!9:00-9:50Science 9-161403 Computer LabSession 61“Public DNA Databases: An Introduction For Your Biology Class”Jane Huntjane@Learn how to use DNA databases to analyze gene sequences to help diagnose plant pathogens.
