My presentation proposal for LRCCD Innovate 2014: Feedly and Pocket

I submitted a presentation proposal for LRCCD Innovate 2014. Below is a short bio and session description for the proposal. I did a presentation on Twitter at LRCCD Innovate 2013 and decided to pursue a different topic this year.

Ken Kubo teaches biotechnology at American River College and works with the North Valley Biotechnology Education Collaborative, a program for biotechnology outreach to regional high schools and community colleges. Ken is also the Faculty Co-Chair for Accreditation at ARC.  A social media enthusiast, Ken experiments with this technology in the classroom - follow him on Twitter at @kmkubo.
