Ed Tech 4 Science

I had the great opportunity to hear Jim Gee and Lee Hartwell speak about very different topics this week, but one theme they both hit on was the idea of “Find Your Passion.” For Lee it involved asking questions in science inquiry that inspire you, for Jim, it was about electronic learning through passionate interactions.

Perhaps the greatest roll in technology for science education is helping students find their passions in science. As both men point out, fantastic things happen when passions ignite.

From social interactions to simulations to blogs, there are so many elements that can contribute to this and help students to have multiple experiences with multiple voices.

Of course, passion can also come from looking forward to a career in science and getting paid for the work they will do. Speaking of which, there are now blog sites that can link you with an advertiser to get paid for your passion, such as Link From Blog.
