1. What kinds of technologies do you use in your classroom? How are they used?

Katie - Vernier data collection technology, digital microscopes, document camera, computer, data projector. The computer and data projector are used almost daily with power points, and for the digital microscope (the microscope is not used almost daily). The vernier data collection is used during labs depending on the lab and what it is needed for. I have used temperature, pH, DO, heart beat, UBA, UVB, CO2 and O2 probes in my class to enhance science instruction.

2. How do you see that these technologies you use affect student learning?

Katie - the students always get a kick out of using technology. So it engages the students and I like the new lab quest because it is a handheld that is water proof and for the post part accident proof.
