Preparing Tomorrow's Science Teachers to Use Technology: Guidelines for Science Educators

Science and technology education have enjoyed a meaningful partnership across most of this century. The work of scientists embraces an array of technologies, and major accomplishments in science are often accompanied by sophisticated applications of technology.
