Why I need this: We have recently purchased SmartBoards and ELMO projectors but ran out of money. There is also very little time for science in our day. This microscope would allow us to use our technology to it's full extent by displaying concepts. In the past, using regular microscopes, the students are unable to make comparisons because they do not notice similar characteristics. Having this would allow me to explicitly model the concepts we are teaching by projecting the image and discussing detailed concepts.

This USB Microscope allows for real-time display on computer screens, enabling multiple students to view detail at the same time.
Why I need this: This would allow my students to chat using Skype with authors and professionals around the world, taking virtual field trips. Working in a low income district, any chance my students have to interact in the real world is priceless.
