The traditional classroom is being challenged every day, and its ways
examined to be improved by the technology that exists and is to come.
Science camps, virtual field trips, and innovative programs can give our
students better comprehension and visualization of the concepts we are
trying to teach.
Teachers play a huge role in students’ lives. Technology is not
a replacement for teachers; it is another tool at their disposal to reach
academic goals with their students. In my field of Computers in Education,
I want to find the most effective use of technology to motivate students
and help them gain better understanding for content areas in science and
math. Technology is connected to science and math, and, in my belief,
students should have a solid understanding of science through the use
of computer technology.
If teachers are going to help students “…understand and work
competently with science and math on a daily basis.” (Rudman, 1999)
then we need to equip teachers with all the tools available in today’s
world. However, it will be of little or no use to have computers, even
though we have the best software and hardware available, if we don’t
provide the research and training needed to make technology an effective
teaching tool in science. When more educators collaborate with software
developers, then more quality software can be produced that will help
raise student achievement. (Dimitrov, 2002)
