3. Why use technology in Science? ”Technology provides many opportunities to build students’ conceptual knowledge of mathematics and science as well as to connect their learning to problems found in our world” ”Technology provides many opportunities to build students’ conceptual knowledge of mathematics and science as well as to connect their learning to problems found in our world”

4. Scientific Literacy Technology can play an important and integral role in inquiry-oriented science instruction. (internet search engines, data bases, model building software, handheld technologies, communication tools, blogs, wikis, podcasts, live video sessions) Technology can play an important and integral role in inquiry-oriented science instruction. (internet search engines, data bases, model building software, handheld technologies, communication tools, blogs, wikis, podcasts, live video sessions) The need for scientific literacy is necessary in order to make informed decisions about our future (economic, environmental etc).
