  29. How Digital Technology has changed our teaching • Dark room to light • One person at a scope to entire group seeing same slide/discussing • Changing or inserting slide into lab much easier (one scanned vs. 120 copies) • Easier to share special stains, cytology, needle biopsies, unique specimens • Students asked for and got more videos

  30. Feedback • “I thought that the virtual microscope was a great tool to study histology. I really liked being able to study and work with the slides where ever I was, and not having to cart around a microscope.”

  31. Lessons learned • It takes money and time, so have high-level support • Plan and budget to scan more slides that you currently use • Faculty were initially against digital scope, but are now on board and enjoying it • We at UVM have only begun to tap the potential of these powerful tools
