The future for our students is filled with technology. Not only do I want my students to be able to see the microscopic world and learn from it, but I want them to see the various abilities of technology to enhance their learning. With these digital microscopes, my students will be able to learn about the microscopic world and learn to manipulate the building blocks of matter, matching many standards in our curriculum from Kindergarten to 8th grade. This technology will be compatible with our computers for students to have a hands-on learning experience with the microscopic world. We can see more detailed components of life that make up living matter, which seems to be the typical use in classrooms, but also see the details of a circuit board, the detailed sizing and precision of mechanical products, a closer view of minerals in ores, and anything else the students are inquiring about to learn more. Lessons have endless possibilities and can span from introductory in Kindergarten up to deep learning with 6th-8th graders. My students can invite the younger grades in to teach them about what they are viewing and have the ability to demonstrate using the computer screens. I am excited to see the students become teachers and demonstrate inquiry learning. This is shown in all grade-levels for science, with the adoption of new state standards, mirroring the NGSS national science standards. These standards incorporate 3-D learning, with engineering practices as one component. With the ability to see how products are engineered, using their knowledge of matter and components of the world, the students can begin to create their own designs. These scopes will allow them to see the finer details for engineering or cells in living matter.
