Using Technology for Science Education
Technological and digital literacy are two of the most important subjects for students in
today’s schools. Students are already bombarded with digital information from the internet,
social media and countless apps on “smart” devices. And they are constantly using different
forms of technology, whether making a Skype video call, getting money out of an ATM or
playing the latest video game. Although this leads many educators to believe their students
are already “digital natives,” true technological and digital literacy encompasses far more.
The abilities to adequately use and do research through digital platforms, judge the validity
(and appropriateness) of the information encountered, and communicate and collaborate via
digital mediums are necessary for student success in school and in their future careers. They
will constantly encounter new technologies because innovation is rapid and exponential. In
addition, many technologies can help adapt the content in science classrooms for students
with disabilities. If all students understand how to use today’s technologies, both software
and hardware, they will be better prepared for success in the present as well as adapt more
quickly to new technologies in the future.
