Science Notebooks for the 21st Century. Going Digital Provides Opportunities to Learn "with" Technology Rather than "from" Technology
Fulton, Lori; Paek, Seungoh; Taoka, Mari
Science and Children, v54 n5 p54-59 Jan 2017
Students of today are digital natives who for the most part come to school with experiences that may surpass those of their teachers. They use tablet computers and other devices in their personal lives and are eager to use them in the classroom. For teachers, this means they must integrate technology in ways that allow their students to learn with technology rather than from technology. Using tablets as digital science notebooks is one way in which students can learn with technology. This article describes how fourth and fifth graders used a tablet as a digital science notebook in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) summer camp while engaging in science and engineering practices.
