Charlie Bruner 12a

The techonology that I looked at isn't quite emerging per say, but being refined to the point that it is usefull. The technology I am talking about is a microlab application. What microlab is, is a interface of lab probes with a computer i.e. temperature probe, termal couple, pH probe. The exciting application of this in a high school setting is that students can use the computer to collect all their data for an experiment with one machine, analyze it, and print. Most older labs use analog or manual probes. The students learning can be assess by how accurate their data is that they collected. This would measure their ability to use the technology and their understanding of the technology.
