Incorporating technology in the classroom is a challenging process. Technology is a need resource into days classroom. Today’s society has created a has create a generation of students that a visually centered learners. Technology is a way to engage students using innovative tools that prepares student to work in today’s work place.
The area I selected to focus on is Forces and Motion. I was able to find several web sites resources that allow students to use technology tool, multimedia sources to research solutions for real world problems. One web site I found www.internet4classrooms.com. This website is very useful. I provide a wealth of resource for students and teachers to use. This website provides information that can be used by parents, students and teachers. . In order to help student understand the concept of Force and motion in everyday life, I decided to incorporate multimedia into the classroom. I will create a blog page where I will have students to gather, share, and publish information on Force and Motion in everyday. Students will be able to use cameras, scanners, and computers to create a book that will be shared with students. The above website provides online learning resources and pictures that students can use. Students will also create a poster that demonstrates forces and motions in action. This activity will be a good way to challenge my student to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
One site, Engineering Interact, (http://www.engineeringinteract.org/resources.htm), offers five sub-topics: light, sound, forces & motion, earth & beyond and electricity modules, correlating questions, and applications. I found this site not only kid-friendly, but introduced content vocabulary in a meaningful way which is vital to comprehension. This would be a good site for English Language Learners.

I found both of the above sites are a good way to incooperate technology into the science classroom. Allowing student to practice the use of technology in the learning process in a stepping stone to preparing them for a technology driven society.
