As mentioned in thread, virtual exhibitions on famous scientists belong also to digital era! This is the new story on a rector who introduced electricity in Belgrade.

Dear Ljubomir

The integration of digital inclusion in science education is a great reality A key that opens prospects of such integration is the use of digital media to better understanding of science .

This extends the dissemination of this knowledge , allowing its multiplication.

In addition to the students who master the digital age is essential to promote digital inclusion of the teachers , so they can use the digital era to promote their inclusion in the means of carrying out scientific activities .

Run projects to the Internet sites that address the scientific activities , makes teachers have the opportunity to meet and discuss topics with students online , providing a quick and efficient interaction

The ultimate goal is use the digital resources for science education to broaden its scope and multiplication, is the point of view of teachers who will be trained to conduct workshops for science, and from the point of view of students who can use the internet instead of traditional means to represent and convey their designs scientific learning .

The use of the Internet in education can make a difference to improvement of education for the isolation of many cities and away from urban centers where the technology is available makes teachers and students have little access to educational resources that expand your horizons .

The virtual fair is very important because help us to understand the needs for constant technological update

These virtual science fairs are very helpful to get acquaintance to the technology updates. And sounds like future of science fair.

But, we should carefully utilize them as they these fairs shouldn't be treat as substitute of actual or physical science fairs.

Friends, I like this virtual fairs. I am attending during coffee break, and I don't have to leave my cubicle. No need to travel; yet still gain knowledge. I'm on this thread to learn. (Today I hope to finish writing up my paper :))

So far my experiences are limited to non-virtual science fair, and they are very positive. If the same attendance of public is characteristic to virtual science fair, then, I accept, it is the Future.

Science fairs and exhibitions open a future window on new education opportunities and experiences and they certainly have a vision down the road!

I am the patron of the Science Congress Club in our school. Our school has been participating yearly, we have heard projects in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Agriculture. We have managed to go to the Metropolitan level but not the National level. Back in 1988 - 1991, when I was teaching at Shimo - tewa - School in Mombasa we used to go to the National Level yearly. Recently, there has been a lot of ICT integration in the presentations.

This year, there was a lot of revision and the subject coverage has expanded;

@Jeremiah, You are very good patron! Congratulations! It requires commitment, a lot of hard work, time and dedication!

My dear Tesla admirers, here is The Turn Of The Century Electrotherapy Museum, see many Virtual Tesla Coils & Components! :)

Time poverty is a well established fact now. As we are running out of time usually. This also implies to mentors, scientists, teachers, and graduate students etc. The use of virtual program is that’s why growing.

After almost a year, I will try to give a new life to this thread by Science Museum! They have developed APPS for different collections, many of them are interactive. Follow the link!

"The newest exhibition about Churchill’s Scientists tells the little-known story of how Churchill’s fascination with science led to the scientific achievements that helped Britain win the Second World War. Discover how the power of science was harnessed during the war, from the recent invention of radar and the production of penicillin and antibiotics, to Britain’s top secret research behind the first atomic bomb. See these incredible events brought to life through a rich array of significant historical objects, original film footage, letters and archive images."
