Large International School 1400 students from K-12 1200 computers (includes admin/office) 1-to-1 at MS and US (tablets) 1-to-1 started 2 ½ years ago 2:1 at LS Netbooks Grade’s 8-12 take tablets home (started for grade
8 this January)

2 ½ year ago I had never used a lap top
Zurich – smartboards and tablets
The school has excellent IT support

Hands-on science remains the most important part of my science class.
How can technology make the learning better, easier, and more interesting?

1. Use of onenote program 2. Using probes for experimental work
3. Student blogs 4. Teacher blog

1. Students can easily see the outline of the unit (chapter headings)
2. Very easy to use and fast (does not need internet)
3. Work saves automatically 4. Can scan hard copies into it. 5. Goes well with the tablet and pen (but
not necessary to have the pen). 6. Saves paper

Great organizational tool for teachers
Can use it to share information with students if you have a beamer/smartboard
I can be synced with the other science teacher so we can easily share new resources

Broadens the range of experiments that can be done in the lab
They can be expensive
If no 1-to-1 program or lack of funds you can still use one probe as a station

Carbon dioxide probe: US $250 International $318
Voltage probe: US $16
Go Link: US $78

Work can easily be shared with other students, teachers, and also parents
Alternative to science fair

1. If a student is absent then the experimental work and concepts can be more easily understood by watching a teacher prepared video.
2. The work necessary to be completed is posted there for that week.
3. Websites which enhance the curriculum can very easily be posted.
4. Photos can be posted. 5. Fewer emails sent to absent students. 6. The blog is free and, with a flipshare camera and
a youtube account, videos can be easily made and shared.
