I was going to do my case study on the use of overhead transparencies, but I am switching to voice recognition software. It is used a lot with language learning software, but not yet much in mainstream education with students who cannot read.
I am doing my case study on digital laboratory equipment, specifically probeware that is used to measure pH, salinity, temperature, as well as USB digital microscopes. Each of these devices can be plugged into a USB outlet and can automatically import data into spreadsheets on laptops and desktop computers.
I will be doing my case study on the storage of digital information for use with computers. I will begin with the use of punch cards and progress forward to todays modern storage systems.
I posted this before, but don’t see it above. I must release the slide rule case study and will be doing mine on Smart Boards. I was unable to get the visual component in time.
