Abstract: The math and science technology integration module is meant for use either after completion of the Project-Based Learning module and Technology Integration module or with participants who are familiar with both modules. This module is designed for a two- to three-hour class or training. It can be used in conjunction with trainings of software applications that are used in classroom settings. Ideally, the module would be the core of a training where participants develop ideas, go back to their classrooms to implement them, and then come back together to regroup, reflect, and refine projects designed at the first training session. Part One, Guided Process, is a brief introduction to technology integration into math and science. It answers the questions "Why do we need to integrate technology into Math and Science Curricula?" "What does it mean to integrate technology into Math and Science?" and "How can technology be integrated into Math and Science Curricula?" These questions are generically addressed in the Technology Integration module. In this module, the curriculum will elicit the responses. Part Two, Group Participation, guides participants in envisioning technology integration in math and science. It asks participants to visit various educational Web sites. The participants are then asked to brainstorm ideas for technology integration in the areas of math and science garnered from visiting and discussing these sites. Ideally, they will design projects and assessments that they can take back to their students and their classrooms.
