Interesting article discussing the integration of technology in science instruction. The importance of using TPACK, professional development for teachers in both science content and pedagogical methods for inquiry based instruction.

This project takes place during a science fair and utilizes Twitter. As judges view the science projects, students ask simple "interview" questions and tweet the judge's responses using a common hashtag. Parents, students, and community members are able to comment and provide encouragement.

This tool provides science resources for teachers including virtual labs. It provides a wide variety of tools for integrating technology into the science curriculum.

Science students use blogs to reflect and share their research. They commented on each others' blogs and provided feedback. The students found this to be a valuable experience.

This is an example of how a science department is using wikispaces to organize the curriculum for many of their classes. I was hoping to find teachers using wikispaces the way I was originally taught to use them- as a place for students to collaborate and build a wiki together. You can see what I wrote for an assignment, but I don't have any students with whom to use it: http://learningsciencealacarte.wikispaces.com/Biological_Molecules
