Introduction and Welcome

Introduction

This site demonstrates how teachers can use technology to teach science. As stated by Roblyer and Doering (2013),  “To integrate technology in the science classroom on a regular basis, one must understand the meaning of technology in the context of science teaching and learning.” (p. 318) Based on our understanding of technology in science teaching and learning, we have developed this blog with the following considerations in mind.
