Using Computer and Calculator-Based Interfaces in Biology
rnDuring the last decade, science teachers in the United States have begun using computers and probeware in their classrooms. These educators want their students to have the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully participate in our increasingly global arena of science and commerce. However, there is always the risk that the technology will drive the curriculum rather than serve as an effective learning or research tool. rnThis forum will share knowledge and skills developed by educators to use technology as a tool so that students might better understand both the process and content of science. We invite you to interact with other teachers to share secrets, experiments, tips and experiences about: rnProbewarernProbes and sensors to measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, pressure, pH, and much more. rnComputer interfacingrnComputers and probeware used as laboratory instruments to collect and manage data or is data logger for school.rnCBL - Calculator Based Laboratory systemrnPortable hand-held data collectors, probeware and a graphing calculators used as laboratory instruments to collect and manage data. rnrn
