My Project

Biology happens. It happens inside you, inside the classroom and in the bright outdoors. My students have enjoyed learning about the processes of life I have shown them in the classroom. Through demos and videos, they have witnessed the miracle of life and of the dance it requires. However, as much as they have enjoyed classroom instruction, they have loved and thrived on the instruction I have been able to impart in the outdoors. The students seem more alert, receptive, and happy while they enjoy natural light and the relaxing view of trees and soothing sounds of nature. I have used the possibility of outdoor instruction as incentives for discipline and achievement but have not been able to fully reward the efforts of my students because instruction outside is very limited by the lack of technology (blended instruction makes technology a necessity).

This project will allow students to examine the very small as it appears in nature; they could simply take samples from a pond, look at soil, bugs, leaves, and see it all under a microscope and as a class with the help of technology .

The iPad would allow show groups of students the sample under the microscope or cast to a projector/screen if one is available.

This project would be of incredible benefit to my students by itself but hopefully it will be paired with a projector/screen so more students will have access to the images at once.
