Synopsis
If you re waiting to be convinced that computers offer more than pricey bells and whistles in the classroom, this is the book that will open your mind to technology s potential. But even if you re an early (and avid) adopter, you ll discover intriguing new concepts for technology-based teaching strategies that help students really learn science concepts. The featured technologies range from the easy to master (such as digital cameras) to the more complex (such as Probeware and geographic information systems). Among the chapter topics: Digital images and video for teaching science Using computer simulations Probeware tools for science investigations Extending inquiry with geo-technologies Acquiring online data for scientific analysis Web-based inquiry projects Online assessments and hearing students think about science The book's emphasis is never on technology for technology's sake. Each chapter includes a summary of current research on the technology s effectiveness in the classroom; best-practice guidelines drawn from the research and practitioner literature; and innovative ideas for teaching with the particular technology. The goal is to stimulate your thinking about using these tools and deepen your students engagement in science content.

Review
Good for Beginner. I think this book is best for the teacher just now gaining access to the 10 computers to be used or for the teacher who wants to use technology to get away from the worksheet rut. Takes work to start, but it runs smoothly once put into place. You'll always have that one student who hates computers. Everyone else will love it! --Reviewed by: Sherry Miles (Mobile, AL) on March 31, 2009
I thought this book was good, however, I have had a lot of technology training and I was disappointed this book wasn't more cutting edge. --Reviewed by: Christine West (Haugan, MT) on July 15, 2008
