Dani, Danielle E.; Koenig, Kathleen M.
Theory Into Practice, v47 n3 p204-211 Jul 2008
Current reforms in science education call for the integration of digital technologies into science teaching, advocating that students learn science content and processes through technology. In this article, we provide practical examples, situated within the literature, of how digital technologies can be used to support the development and implementation of high quality technology-enhanced science lessons. Classroom applications featuring, among others, probeware and electronic voting systems are discussed. (Contains 1 table.)
