Approaches to Technology in Biology and Chemistry Classes: An Alternative Perspective.
Jervis, Charles K.
This paper argues for extending the definition of "technology" in education to include much more than just computers, and for recognizing the dangers of using technology for its entertainment purposes. Two conceptions of the proper use of technology in science classrooms are offered: (1) technology as tool; and (2) technology as topic. Specific examples of the use of technology as a tool and as a topic in high school biology and chemistry classrooms are presented. (Contains 51 references.) (WRM)
