It took this Luddite over an hour to get it going, exchanging the camera, and when that didn't work, opening up a brand new DVD/VCR player.<br /><br />That didn't work, either.<br /><br />Reading the directions and finding a loose cable, though, worked like a charm!<br /><br />I am wondering if teaching children the finer points of using microscopes makes any sense. I'm available at all kinds of hours to teach anyone who has an interest in it (and a few always do), but the ones who are interested hardly need to be taught. They figure it out.<br /><br />The camera is a nice compromise--the kids can see the specimen on the stage, they can look directly into the scope if they'd like, and the set-up makes the whole thing more real, because, well, it <i>is</i> real.doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-40026375714742891762011-01-07T09:56:26.631-05:002011-01-07T09:56:26.631-05:00There's the technology that belongs in the cla...<i>There's</i> the technology that belongs in the classroom!
