DML LOGS 6-8

Participants in the MAIS Zoom Pre-Conference in Cairo were prepared as Digital Microscopy Leaders (DML). They were expected to return to their home schools, use digital microscopy in their own classes, and share it with their teacher and administrative colleagues. DMLs were requested to maintain, complete, and return ZOOM LOGS as records of their implementations and use of ZOOM technology and instructional strategies.
Following are three LOGS that exemplify ZOOM DML activities in their schools. The first is from Rachael Van Fleet of the American School of Milan, Italy the second is from Andrew P. Mechling of the American School of Madrid, Spain, and the third is from Tina Centurio of the Carlucci American International School of Lisbon, Portugal . It should be noted that in addition to the students and colleagues involved in ZOOM through the leadership of these outstanding DMLs, they also led efforts to secure classroom sets (approximately 25 each) of DigiScopes for their schools for use by many more teachers and students in the future.
