Reflection on Science in Technology Activity

I really enjoyed doing this activity, not only to myself discover the uses of technology in the Science curriculum, but to also see how other students in the class used technology

I looked at Melinda Hect and Whitney Zylstra's blogs to get other ideas for my classroom.
Melinda used a temperature probe to test the heat made by friction and Whitney used Kidspiration to classify living and non-living things.

I learned there are SO MANY ways to use technology to make science truly come alive in the classroom! I love that there are so many tools out there, the temperature probe used by Melinda is great to let kids really experience using temperature in a concrete hands on way.

Based off of Whitney's project, I got to see that there were more uses for Kidspiration than I ever imagined!

Technology is so accessible and I am excited to implement it in my classroom. :)
