MedTech Online Video Clip (Quicktime):
The site documents the use of John Southworth’s Electronic Field Trip model that was developed in the 1980s at the UH Education Laboratory School. It was developed in collaboration with the UH Medical Technology Division. It includes a video introduction along with background info and the lesson plan process….provided by the LEI Aloha ETEC Connections resource for helping the process of classroom technology integration. The “LEI” in LEI Aloha means Learning Enhancement through Innovation. The team’s mission is dedicated to supporting each other in providing high quality service to educators for the enhancement of teaching and learning through innovative uses of technology. This video features John Southworth’s inaugural Electronic Field Trip model that was first used with Lab School chemistry classes as a means of showing students one career that uses chemistry.
