Kelly Jones presented a software that was geared to Science. Using duel computers too! She is involved in a grant that allowed her access to the equipment. The software is kid friendly with sounds, images, and high interest. The software has multiple links and resources. She explained the uses in the classroom, the neatest thing is it is compact to allow her to take it outside and students can work it. The software allows a video link that can be placed on a blog for parents/students to see a demonstration. There are several web sites that supports the microscope.The science teachers sitting near me seemed intriqued as they had a side conversation during the presentation about the possibilities. Kelly walked the class through the software and its many links. This program is nboth MAc and PC compatiable.

I loved this product. We use an actual mircoscope that hooks into our computer so as to see a bigger picture of what is being viewed. I think it would be fun to play around with the digiscope and see what high schoolers could create.
