Summary - This article was an excellent resource for really demonstrating the integration of science and technology. The article presented 5 proposed guidelines for integration of technology into a science classroom. The article presented strong examples of each guideline and how technology would be integrated. All the examples were very relevant and reading the article gave great resources that a reader could utilize immediately in a classroom.

Guzey, S. S., & Roehrig, G. H. (2009). Teaching science with technology: Case studies of science teachers’ development of technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education, 9(1), 25-45. Summary - This article is an excellent summary of a study but really lacks practical use in the classroom as the article is too technical. The article is a summary of case studies done following a group of teachers who were part of a program call Technology Enhanced Communities (TEC). This was a learning community designed to help science teachers to learn how to integrate technology. The professional development program was centered around the idea of TPACK. If you skip everything in the article and just read the case study summaries of each individual teacher useful information can be obtained from reading the article. The rest of the article is just research mumble-jumble with no real practical information. __ Resource #3 __
