Integrating TechnologyTechnology integrated into a system that connects science to the student.

This is the first time in 17 years that I have not had a Saltwater Reef Aquarium in my classroom at the start of school. These failures have been no less common; every three years or so since the beginning. Redundancy and monitoring need to be made more secure. This is the 21st century and there is technology that can alert me to changing conditions and interruptions in power. Monitoring 24/7 that will ensure any problems are addressed before there are any losses of the organisms in our care.
