Molly McKagueBugscope is an educational outreach project that provides free interactive access to a scanning electron microscope. Teachers have the opportunity to send in insect specimens their class collects to be viewed during their live session or use samples from what's available in the the Beckman Institute's collection. Teachers are encouraged to use their live session time to focus on exploring the samples and asking questions, opting to review and discuss the images "offline" afterword as the complete transcript and images are archived on the Bugscope website. This great source to have when studying insects, which as elementary teachers I believe we will all do. Kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high-magnification, and discuss what they see with scientists—all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection. It is all of the insects that they collect, how cool is that!

Sophie CanobioPresentation:
Cette REA offre aux eleves, de facon peut couteuse, l'opportunite d'utiliser un microscope electronique a balayage (d'une valeur excedant 150 mille dollars) afin d'examiner leurs propres insectes (prepares selon les recommendations des concepteurs du sites) et ce en temps reel. Ceci est normalement impossible en raison du cout de l'instrument et de sa sensibilite. Dans ce cas, cela fait par le biais d'une simple connection internet. En outre, le support technique est compose de scientifiques rattaches a l'universite de l'Illinois, supportes par Beckman, le manufacturier de l'appareil. Ces scientifiques ont egalement ete forme pour s'adresser a la communaute scolaire.
Il est egalement possible de consulter les nombreuses archives, tres bien documentees, constituees depuis la creation de cette REA en 1999.
De plus, un section est consacree a la technologie derriere le MEB ce qui est fort pertinent d'un point de vu educatif.
Typologie:
1. Ressources créées spécifiquement pour l'éducation et références
1.1 REA éducatives
1.1.6 Systèmes complexes
1.1.6.1 Simulations
Utilité pédagogique (avec exemples):
- Decouvert et "utilisation" d'une technologie fort utilisee
- Merveilleuse introduction au monde de laboratoire de recherche.
- Excellent dans le cadre de travaux pratiques. Par exemple, en biologie, science de la vie, etude des drosophiles et de ses phenotypes dans le cadre de cours de genetique / evolution / diversite phenotypique. Cela s'adresse aussi bien aux eleves de primaire, secondaire ou cegep. L'intervention et l'encadrement du corp professoral etant plus ou moins important en fonction de l'age des apprenants.
- Ressources validees de grande qualite (archives ainsi que ressources technologiques)
- Disponibilite et encadrement d'une equipe d'experts adaptee aux auditoires de niveaux scolaire
- Les eleves peuvent preparer eux meme leur insecte
Points forts:
- Accessibilite a tous et simplicite de la procedure
- Offre l'acces a une technologie (MEB) normalement inaccessible dans les ecoles (en raison du cout et de la sensibilite)
- Motive les eleves a participer
Points faibles:
- En anglais seulement. Cependant, la grande majorite des ressources scientifiques sont en anglais et la langue commune dans la communaute scientifique est l'anglais.
En outre, le professeur peut jouer le role d'interprete.
Évaluation globale: 5
Facilité d'utilisation: 4
La preparation de specimen est aisee.
Peu couteux (frais de livraison).
D'un point de vu technologique ne necessite qu'un simple acces internet (PC ou Mac) avec un "browser" commun (firefox, Google chrome, Safari (Apple), Explorer 7).
Plaisir d'usage: 5
Les eleves peuvent participer a la preparation et l'envoi.
Ils peuvent poser des questions a des scientifiques.
Intérêt suscité chez les étudiants: 5
Qualité du contenu (si applicable): 5
Le tout est encadre par une equipe de scientifiques de l'Universite de l'Illinois et chapeaute par Beckman.
Cette REA d'ailleurs gagne un prix dans "Science". (voir article dans le numero Science VOL 333 29 JULY 2011)biologie insect microscopie MEB instumentation biotechnologique

victoria waddleThe Bugscope project provides free, interactive access to a scanning electron microscope over the internet, so that students anywhere in the world can explore the microscopic world of insects.
Run by the Beckman Institute’s Imaging Technology Group (ITG) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Bugscope helps teachers give their students the chance to become scientists: The kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high magnification, and discuss what they see with university scientists—all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection.
Here’s how it works: Teachers sign up, ask their students to find some bugs, and mail them to ITG, which then schedules a session and prepares the bugs for insertion into the electron microscope. When your session time arrives, ITG puts the bugs into the microscope and sets it up for your classroom. Then, you and your students log in over the web and control the microscope. ITG scientists are available via chat to guide you and answer students’ questions. -

After your session, you can return to the website to view every chat line, image, and sample you—and every other classroom—has collected.
Bugscope has been active since 1999 and has supported about 300 sessions with more than 200 schools. The website recently was added to FREE (Federal Resources for Educational Excellence), the Education Department’s collection of more than 1,500 federally supported teaching and learning resources. -

Jennifer ChoThis website is great for all students ages K-12. It provides free interactive access to a scanning electron microscope so that students anywhere can explore the world of insects by proposing experiments, exploring insect specimens at high-magnification, and discussing what they see with the scientists of the University of Illinois. So how does it work? Well, students find bugs, mail them to the Beckman institute's Imaging Technology Group at the University of Illinois which has the bugs prepared for insertion into an electron microscope. A scheduled online session is chosen and the bugs are put in the microscope so that students can log in over the web to control the microscope. The scientists are there to chat, guide and answer students' questions. After the session, students can return to the website to view every chat line, image, and sample.

Tracy WatanabeYou sign up, ask your students to find some bugs, and mail them to us. We accept your application, schedule your session, and prepare the bugs for insertion into the electron microscope. When your session time arrives, we put the bug(s) into the microscope and set it up for your classroom. Then you and your students login over the web and control the microscope. We'll be there via chat to guide you and answer the kids' questions.
The proposal was to participatein the Beckman Institute’s Bugscope, http://bugscope.beckman.illinois.edu, a free educationaltechnology outreach project, whichenables kindergarten to 12th grade (K–12)and undergraduate students and teachers toremotely access and control the microscopein real time from their classroom computers.
