In high school biology class, I was continually amazed at the amount of technology that was available to us. I didn't go to an affluent school district, but rather, a middle class school. We had micropipettes, computer programs, and a video-connected microscope for guided practice. My teacher implemented them better in my biology class rather than AP Bio, but that's a different story.
I came to class continually excited for class because of the incredible opportunities presented through this equipment. Even during early morning lab, I was amazed by the precision of micropipettes. Our teacher explained thoroughly how all the devices worked, so I had a better understanding of how it's done in the "real world". Through all of this technology, I feel that I didn't solely receive a "classroom" experience, but more than that, an experience with how it's really done. It helped me to see the importance of the work I was doing, as well as to make connections with the real world.
