Using some of our new research know-how, we organized an online resource for beginners to learn about growing plants under indoor conditions.

First, we researched the topic online and collected some high quality internet resources using Diigo, and made the list publicly available. As we gathered information, the topics covered were added to an easy-to-read concept map. Working on the concept map allowed us to see what other topics we needed to cover, and our list of links grew alongside the concept map.

Next, we put together a second concept map which helps beginners to understand some of the growth conditions of a few common plants, and allows them to see if they can be potted together.

Another concept map was created as a decision maker to help people decide what plants would be appropriate for their location.

Lastly, to help everyone keep up to date on the latest trends and happenings in the exciting world of indoor gardening, a public Google reader page was set up which continuously pulls new information using RSS feeds.

For our (Stephanie, Samantha, Sara, Lonnie, Nicholas, Terence, Jonathan, & Jordan) final project to wrap up the BioQuest 2010 Workshop on Skills For Success we have put together a blog on Grant Writing Resources. We used the tools and skills we have learned throughout the course of the workshop to put together some valuable resources to help graduate students find, plan, and write grant and fellowship proposals. Here is the link to our blog:
