32. 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

33. 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.”

34. 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
