Reflection:

Wow. This technology is so exciting! I think that science is the one area that does not receive enough attention in the public schools. Often, I think the lack of science in schools comes from the insecurities of teachers. If schools would provide inservices for this technology, it would enable students to gain knowledge and skills of the future. I still think that hands on science is very important, however, this technology allows students to study places and experiements that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. In addition, I think when students and teachers become familiar with the technology, it has great potential for student lead research projects. Just like all schools didn’t have computers for each classroom at first, I think this technology can be purchased in small numbers and shared throughout the school and for small schools, throughout the district. Why is this important? In order to get something like this started, it has to seem doable! It is!
