Ms. Beaupre, a sixth and seventh grade science teacher at Campbell County Middle School in Kentucky, has found a very interactive way of not only teaching her students but allowing them to compare grades with each other. This system is called ResponseCards from Turning Technology. Like some other systems, ResponseCard works with PowerPoint, allowing Ms. Beaupre to integrate quizzes and poll responses into classroom presentations.

11. Being an avid science enthusiast, this article really intrigued me. Having a lot of experience with microscopes and how neat they may be, there is a lot of work to be done with them when observing specimen. The Smartscope seems to be an amazing piece of equipment for science and helping to teach students how cool science can really be. Allowing the students to take still images and upload them onto applications or other devices is remarkable. This is a great advancement in science and for education.
