Abstract: This module about the digital microscope is meant for use either after completing the project-based learning and technology integration modules or with participants familiar with these topics of interest. The module is designed for a two- to three-hour online learning session for pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade teachers. It can also be used in conjunction with technology for teacher training sessions in classroom settings.Part One, Guided Process, is designed to give participants a brief introduction to using the digital microscope. It answers these questions: What is special about the digital microscope? How do you use the digital microscope? and How can the digital microscope be used in pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms? Part Two, Group Participation, assigns readings and activities to expand the use of the digital microscope and related articles about using technology in the classroom.
