Abstract
Technologies such as microscopes, Bunsen burners, and balances have long been associated with science classroom teaching and learning. Digital technologies, such as simulations, interactive whiteboards, probeware, and flip cameras offer additional opportunities for science teachers to put students in charge of data generation, collection, analysis, and presentation. Yet the widespread use of even traditional technologies in science classrooms, much less newer tools, remains limited. Science teachers must choose among several technologies—for example, mercury thermometers, handheld digital thermometers, and digital temperature probes—that accomplish the same or similar tasks to assist students’ science learning. How can we best choose and integrate these tools into science learning and teaching?
