What ideas did you get from today's lab that will benefit you in your classroom/lesson?
Based on the panel discussions this afternoon, how prepared are your students to enter a Biometrics or Forensics related field at this time?

I got some good ideas about fingerprinting and facial recognition activities that could be used with my students.
I feel my students lack some math skills and confidence to enter forensics.

I liked the activity on fingerprinting. I think it could be easily implemented. The students at our school are not prepared because we offer no AP courses and our Chemistry department is very weak.

I think my students would really
enjoy Faces exercise.
Student participation is very
important
I am better prepared but still
a long way to go. I thank you
for the opportunity hear the panel

Some of the small lessons that the groups presented today can be modified to fit various grade levels to be used in the classroom.
I don't feel that many of our students are well prepared because they are not clear on the requirements. Several have the misconcpetion from CSI that it is all the investigative type.
I doubt that any of them realize how their current behavior could affect a future for them in biometrics.

Fingerprint processing and face recognition are very important in Biometrics. The hands on activities were very helpful and interesting. Also sharing teaching and supply ideas w/ the other teachers was beneficial.
To listen to the experts concerning Biometrics was interesting. The tie-in to the WVU curriculum was also beneficial. Listening to the personal accounts of the panel members was attention getting.

I thought the lab was very interesting and that I could possibly use parts of it when I teach basic genetics to my 8th graders.
The panel discussions were also very interesting and I learned a lot about what is required of students interested in entering this field. The most importnat thing I would stress to them is the fact that background checks are done and they need to keep their records clean - good ethics!

The idea of using a scanner today for my lesson should help me.
The panel discussion made me aware of the requirements to enter the forensics or biometrics field.It also informed me that students need to have a clean background to work in many of these fields.

Faces software is good.
Some have the academic background. Many do not and don't seem willing to apply themselves. The character issue might stop some.

I really liked the experience of the DNA extraction. It amazes me how "someone" was able to develop all steps in this science to do this. How did they even know how to begin this complicated process?
The exposures to the fingerprinting process, the FACES software, and the "flexcam" (not sure that is what it was called) to take close-up pictures of our eyes and its applications when it would be attached to a microscope were all "eye-opening" experiences.
As far as the preparation of my students to enter a Biometrics or Forensics field, I feel very few are willing to apply themselves to the rigorous curriculum demanded by the fields. So of it is the adolescence mentality that feels adults really don't know what they are talking about, and some of it comes from their parents, who feel suspecious of the education communities recommendations. It other words, they did fine with their education preparation and we are just trying to push their kids into classes they don't really need.

I thought a lot of the lab activities would be exciting for students and they would really get into them. I think it is really important to stress to the students the high academic standards of these programs. Many of them just think of these as glamorous or exciting fields but do not realize the intense training that is required to do this kind of precision work.

It appeared that there are some students that would definately be prepared to enter Biometrics once they were in a college program that focused on that. Overwell, students do need to focus more on math and science for many careers, but especially in this area. It is also important that we as educators, as well as people outside the education envirnoment, need to talk to student and educate them on the importance of appropriate and positive behaviors. Often when dealing with teenagers they feel they are untouchable as we all know. We need to show them examples of how their actions now can affect them in the future.

I really enjoyed the labs. The FACES program actually helped me plan my lesson.
I loved the panel and how it helped prepare me to inform my students of the possibilities in engineering, forensics, etc.

During our Monongalia County College Fair, I will ask not only the Engineering Department to attend but I would like to have two separate tables for the Biometrics and Forensic Science Department. This would allow students to get an earlier understanding of the two programs and help clarify the prerequisites needed for their programs.
