After four weeks of providing staff development and in-class support regarding how to use these data loggers, with the eight science teachers in the school. The science teachers began to come up with strategies and techniques on their own for integrating CBL Probeware data loggers in their lessons. At the same time all the teachers confided in me that they had all agreed in advance that using this technology was a waste of time and that they would resist every step of the way.

Their minds were changed as they discovered their students were more interested in science experiments, grasped the technology quickly, better understood concepts, and were able to make connections with other concepts. The teachers also found out that they were not behind in their curriculum and students scored better, on average, on chapter tests

How has this topic been altered over the course of time? How will this topic change over the course of the next fifty years? What other ideas from the outside can be integrated into this topic in the future to make it better? Using the answers to the questions above, what qualities can I take from this topic to prompt deeper thinking about other areas of life that interest me? Instead of collecting the “assessment”, what would happen if you collected student answers to these questions instead?
