Science Lesson

The session I most appreciated at the recent Christa McCauliffe Technology conference was Welcome to Our 21st Century Science Classroom by Paul Facteau from Apple. It was a simulation of a well-run classroom mid-project on a river study. I was a student—I dissected an owl pellet; I tested water samples. I took photos (with the microscope); I generated graphs of my water data. I inserted these products into books and blogs. It was great to see how all the pieces can fit together. It wasn’t about the technology; it was about the learning.
