The use of technology can support students learning in developing
meaningful understandings of science concepts and in doing investigations.
Learning technologies also support students partcipating in project-based
science as technology enables students and teachers to communicate, carry out invesigations, and present material.
As many students are used to using technology at home, students have
been found to be more motivated during activities involving the use of technology.
Since the use of technology in the classroom allows students access
to purposeful information, have greater interaction with students and teachers, and inspire greater student motivation, the
use of technology in the classroom can make tasks more authentic as technology enables students to better meet goals for learning.
During EDUC 140, the class participated in numerous activities involving technologies that served
to enhance student learning. Below, activities involving certain technologies are included with samples of student work
in these activities.
