Technology in Science Teaching

Module 9: Assignment – Technology in Science Teaching

Choose a science topic from your grade level standards. Conduct internet research to find 5 or more technology resources that support your instruction of the topic.
The resources must use technology to enhance the lesson or transform the task students are doing. For example, simulations, games, interactives, quizzes, or other activities using technology. Non-examples include videos, webpages, PDF files, or lesson plan downloads – just because you find it on the internet does not make it a “technology resource!”
Create a simple but professional method of sharing your resources. Include:
Your chosen science topic and the relevant standard(s);
Your list of 5+ quality technology resources and links,
A short (3 or fewer sentences each) summary of each resource and how/why you would use it.
Not included: Please don’t include generally used technologies that are not specific to your science topic, such as learning management systems (Google Classroom, Seesaw), assessment sites (Kahoot, Quizziz), screen recording tools (Screencastify) etc.
Example:
For “human impact on the environment” you might consider a site like:
https://climatekids.nasa.gov/coral-bleaching/ with an explanation of how the site would fit into a bigger lesson about human impact on the environment, and what you would have students do with this particular resource.
