When integrating technology into science instruction, teachers should consider specific strategies that promote a deeper understanding of conceptual and procedural knowledge. Strategies recommended by Roblyer and Doering (2013) are included in the following list:
- Involving students in scientific inquiry through authentic online projects
- Support for specific processes in scientific inquiry
- Supporting science skills and concept learning
- Engaging students in engineering topics through robotics
- Accessing science information and tools
- Other science resource websites for teachers (p. 320)
Using technology to teach the scientific method supports inquiry-learning by engaging sudents in authentic experiences. Following is an example of using technology to teach the scientific method.
