Port Probeware
Lesson Plans Repository
Basically any lab you've done before using CBL's, ULI Data Loggers, digital
or analog measuring devices can be done just as easily but with greater understanding
(and far less expense) using probes built and programmed by the students themselves.
Many of the labs listed below have already been done and are in the process
of being converted into HTML format for availability soon. As you implement
Game Port Probeware into your curriculum and feel you have discovered a successful
lab you'd like to share, just email it to us and we will add it to this repository
either as an actual webpage (be sure to attach any photos you'd like included)
or as a link to the portion of your website devoted to Probeware exploits. Here
are just a few probeware lab topics you can look forward to.
