We have limited technologies available at our college for students in the classroom.  I teach the advanced level of clinical dental hygiene, so I have incorporated new technologies for the dental field.  The students get hands-on learning with new equipment to be used chairside in a dental office. 

Students are also required for my class to research some type of dental technology for a particular patient of theirs and present a powerpoint presentation on the patient and technology.

@NTrotter : I agree, students have to remain interested to continue excitement about the course content.  We have alot of lab sessions and experienced students tend to become bored and uninterested in material presented.  We have found partnering them with inexperienced students works best for both.
