Today high school students can get through biology class without smelling like formaldehyde. That\u2019s because they can now dissect frogs digitally.<\/p>\n
Digital Frog International Inc. sells an interactive CD-ROM for $170 that allows students to probe a croaker\u2019s internal workings without lifting a scalpel. The impetus behind the digital frog program was company cofounder Simon Clark\u2019s squeamishness over cutting critters as a veterinarian student. Clark disliked dissection so much that he decided to find a less distasteful way to teach students anatomy and physiology.<\/p>\n
Thanks to this program, students in more than nine hundred schools across North America are now making incisions into virtual frogs with a computer mouse. Throughout the virtual dissection, the computer program\u2019s speech component explains various organ functions while the program\u2019s three-dimensional animation allows the user to add cartilage and muscle to the frog\u2019s skeleton and get a beneath-the-skin view of how the amphibian moves.<\/p>\n
The advantages of using this program are obvious: mistakes made on virtual frogs are easily corrected, no real frogs are hurt, and, perhaps best of all, students don\u2019t get their hands dirty. The whole procedure remains distant and antiseptic.<\/p>\n
What is possible with biology is impossible with evangelism. We cannot do effective evangelism without touching the messy lives of sinners.<\/p>\n
