One option is to use a cell phone or a digital camera to take an image of their whiteboard, and then post this somehow. One of my favorite ways to post is to use the email address for a Flickr account--NDeRC has one you can use--to send the image as a picture message. Most every MS or HS student has a phone with pic message capability these days. The whiteboard is then available on Flickr, and can be imported into a wiki at a convenient time (perhaps at home.)

I've been around it and thought highly of it for years. Now I'll have an experienced chenistry teacher nearby to discuss it with. Have a great week.

Would it be a one- or two-day introduction in the classroom, which would include a pre- and post-test, perhaps a "hook" experience to get students interested in the idea of imaging something when direct observation with light is not an option--any ideas?--with some introduction to the idea of sensing by current (maybe vandegraff generators with blindfolds?), use of an online animation, then an introduction to the instrument, then a presentation of graphite, a handout of an image, and finally student justification of their estimate of the c-c bond length using the pythagorean theorem? What do you think? Lynda,
