These are great!! I just wish I would have found them sooner than this!! I could have really used some of these earlier this year. BUT, I have them for next year - thanks!!! Jen ARGH!!

Hope this one works for you! I converted the Open Office file to PPT and uploaded it to the following website:

No hurry! It'll be MONTHS before I get to teaching immunology. I am so excited to try these case studies with my anatomy class. They seem like a great way to make content relevant to students.

I can break the file up into smaller parts and put it up on another website. I'll let you know when I've done this and send you the link. It will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday before I can do it.

I tried it 3 different times thinking that it might be server issue at busier times of day and all three times, I got an error message. Stacy- Zamzar didn’t work.

Go to www.zamzar.com and use the free tool to convert it to ppt format. Zamzar emails you a link to the converted file that you will then download. Let me know if that didn't work! Stacy Hi Cyndi,

Save the file to your computer, but don’t open it. Go to http://www.zamzar.com and use the free tool to convert it to ppt format. Zamzar emails you a link to the converted file that you will then download.

Let me know if that didn’t work!

I am so excited to have found your blog. Thanks for setting this up. Regarding the case studies, I was recently turned on to this idea of using case studies from another teacher and am so excited to try this new method. I also teach anatomy/physiology and will definitely use the cases there. One question- I am having difficulty downloading the case study PPT you posted on slideshare. It is saying it is an ODP file (?) and my computer doesn't recognize this filetype. Your biology of love PPT downloaded fine. Any tips on converting this ODP file into a ppt file for wasy download??

Thanks for letting me be an interloper here. I teach at a community college in various bio courses. I've used the case studies from the UBuffalo center, too. They are especially helpful in non-majors intro bio. Many of the adult learners haven't been to school in many years. The cases bring a reality to their science ed, and help them with their language skills, too. I give a sprinkling of writing assignments tied to cases through the semester to help develop critical thinking skills. One of my favorites, like yours, is Why Sex is Good. Catchy phrase, whether for teens, young or older adults. There is a piece at PBS http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/sex/advantage/ that parallels the case study quite nicely. Also appropriate for your age group would be "It's Just a Bottle of Water". I haven't tried the doggy dysfunction case yet, but, I'd like to work it in. The semester if just too short! Cheers. Stacy,

It seems like every year the quality time in class goes down and the time to venture into analysis of current science research topics is what takes the hit. The use of your blogs is such a terrific way to solve this problem! I can also see this as a method to pull the parents into the conversation. I have many parents with science backgrounds that would be very interested in joining the blog. Thanks! Stacy,
