Digital Images in the Science Classroom

This article talks about the advancement of digital and visual technology in the science classroom. It talks about the use of microscopes and how the classroom time is spent mostly on making sure the students are seeing what they are supposed to see. In digital cameras you can change the size of the image in order to fit the needs of the classroom. It also allows students to speed up or slow down the growing process through the use of time-lapse photography. Digital images give the student more power in their own learning using intuition, knowledge of scientific principles and inference skills which changes a student from being an observer to active participant in the science classroom.
