Klapp’s innovative teaching idea, “Digital Biology Lab,” is focused on provoking students to think about the work of scientists and learning biology in an authentic, hands-on lab setting. Students involved in the project will be exposed to the use of technology in a science laboratory setting. The use of digital microscopes in conjunction with computers will also allow for explorations that can be saved and shared with peers. One of the primary goals for Seltice Elementary School is for students to experience hands-on emerging technologies in the classroom setting. With the “Digital Biology Lab,” the team coordinating the project will introduce students to the excitement of bioscience with the goal of leading them toward rewarding careers in this field.
