ED 480 The use of technology in the K-8 Science Curriculuml_cambe
The document discusses integrating technology into the K-8 science curriculum. It defines technology and curriculum, and argues that technology should be introduced in the context of science content to make scientific views more accessible. It outlines how technology has changed science teaching over time from magic lanterns to the world wide web. Studies show technology can significantly impact student achievement, retention, learning time, and attitude. When used effectively in science, technology engages students in active, authentic, collaborative learning as explorers and producers of knowledge. The document provides examples of websites useful for science teachers and concludes that modeling technology use in teaching science is important for teacher education.
South Korea's presidential office said North Korea fired an unidentified projectile into the sea off its east coast on Tuesday. This is the latest in a series of missile tests this year that has raised tensions in the region. The projectile launch comes after the North's recent missile tests, including its first intercontinental ballistic missile launch in July.
