After realizing that the source I selected was not suitable for the task, I started looking for a new journal entry reflecting science in teaching in relation to technology. I found a lot of interesting entries, some detailing how technology can be integrated into teaching science, others conducting studies on teacher knowledge. Although these sources were very interesting and did discuss technology in relation to teaching science, I was interested in finding a source that would reflect how technology benefits a certain area in science and the reasons why the use of technology would make teaching more effective. Eventually, after a lot of searching, I found this journal entry. The journal explores the reasons why the children learned more effectively due to the introduction of creativity through technology. The students were learning about plate tectonics and were presented with a modified form of Google Earth that allowed students to upload and modify the contents of the program, reflecting the way science builds upon itself in the real world. The source discussed in detail the ways in which the students could benefit and learn more in a science classroom with the introduction of technology.
