Childcare providers will be able to participate in the web-based session "Mobile Learning with Young Children". In this session we will discuss current research about children using mobile devices to learn math and language skills. It will focus on the combined research between the general education classrooms and UNL's Reading Center. The session will discuss the potential benefits of using mobile devices for the skills children need to have and the boundaries providers must place.
The Fremont Corn Expo features speakers and panelists that provide local corn growers with the knowledge they need to effectively manage locally-relevant issues each year. Specific areas of focus include:
Applying Emerging Technology
Improving Economic Viability
Increasing Resiliency to Extreme Weather
Enhancing Saoil and Water Resoures

It is about that time of year again when we need to get organized for the new 4-H season. With that comes the requirements for identifying your animals. Please read through this information carefully and if you have any questions, please contact the Extension office.
