Technology, Science Teaching, and Literacy A Century of Growth

This book profiles the instructional use of technology in the science classroom from 1900 to the present day.

The organizing principle of scientific literacy is examined in terms of the changes it incurred over the course of the twentieth century, and how the use of technology provided a means of achieving the goals of scientific literacy in the classroom.King, Kenneth P. is the author of 'Technology, Science Teaching, and Literacy A Century of Growth', published 2001 under ISBN 9780306465505 and ISBN 0306465507.
