Abstract

The research question addressed in this study was: How do we expand current notions of technology in science classrooms? The topics reviewed in the literature include the history of technology in secondary education, the use of technology in classrooms, the use of technology in science pedagogy, technology standards in education, technology training for teachers, use of technology during and post-pandemic, job-related stress during covid, technology use of adolescence before and post COVID, and student behavior and mental health. The website created for the project focuses on defining the purpose of technology, providing a training resource that assists teachers in incorporating technology in content lessons or using technology for content understanding in lessons, and implementing a time-saving tool to create or validate lessons. The website's goal is to change educators' notions of technology to encourage adoption rates of technology rather than excluding technology from the classroom.
