Hmmm…..Technology? Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. Most people,
however, think of technology in terms of its artifacts: computers and software, aircraft,
pesticides, water-treatment plants, birth-control pills, and microwave ovens, to name a few.

Integrating Technology...• Effective technology integration is
achieved when its use supports curricular goals. It must support four key components of learning: – active engagement– participation in groups – frequent interaction and feedback– connection to real-world experts
• Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class.

Proposed Guidelines for Using Technology in the Preparation of Science
Teachers: – Technology should be introduced in the context of Science content.
– Technology instruction in Science should take advantage of the unique features of technology.
– Technology should make scientific views more accessible
– Technology instruction should develop students’ understanding of the relationship between technology and science.

Technology’s Significant Changes
– From studies that used proper controls on variables it has been learned that computer mediated instruction, including multimedia instruction, makes significant differences in student learning in four interrelated areas:
• Achievement • Learning Retention • Learning Time • Learner Attitude

Research says….– Using Technology in the Classroom within
the Science Curriculum effectively impact student learning.
– Student are motivated, engaged and learning actively.
– Learning is authentic. – Learning is collaborative. – Students are explorers and producers of
knowledge. – Instruction and learning is integrated across
the curriculum. – Students are proficient in digital age literacy
skills.

Conclusion– Technology affords you as a Science teacher the
opportunity to address the individual needs of your diverse learners.
– Modeling the use of technologies in the context of learning science is critical in teacher education for another reason.
