Why I need this: Remember using microscopes in your classes? How you could never manage to get the thing focused let alone find whatever it was you were supposed to. Then that one time you did, it raced of the screen before you had a chance to sketch it down. When the class was over, you may have left without finishing and you likely had a massive headache from staring into magnified light.
My have the times changed . . . . If each classroom had digital microscopes not only can the students view the specimen on a computer or through an LCD projector, but they can also snap pictures, make videos, and add graphics to highlight what they found. It would also encourage collaborative work, since more than one student can see what the other is seeing at a given time, leading to more discussion about what is actually living in that tiny world.
