Identify supportive research that emasures the effect of technology on science achievement
Technology has effected achievement in science in both positive and negative ways however in my opinion the positives greatly out weigh the negatives. Drill and practice software have a slightly negative effect. However the simulations have an amazingly positive effect on students and their learning in science. It gives students the ability to have a hands on life experience without all the financial expenses and dangerous consequences. For example, the dissection simulations where students can realistically take apart a frog and examine the life like parts they have. These advances have helped students gain a better understanding of sciences along with even greater technology fluency.
Hi Elisabeth
ReplyDeleteI would agree that the viewing and hands on that simulations through technology give students far out weighs the negative use. Teachers just need to be knowledgeable to what sites to guide their students to. The simulations that Mr. Davis and Casey posted for us are a great example of using science and other disciplines into the classroom. Sorry, for posting late - I forgot!
