Embedded Technologies in the Curriculum: A Framework and Some Examples in Science and Mathematics Education
Vítor Duarte Teodoro · 2002
SUMMARY Probably, one of the most relevant challenges we face now in education is to embed computers the regular of classrooms. It took centuries to use books as classrooms tools and there were strong opponents to the idea. Computer based technologies are now so common in everyday life that it is becoming difficult to find opponents to the idea of using computers in education, with reasonable arguments. But education is not “a rocket science”, it is much more complex and educational systems take a long time and effort to change. Using computers as a classroom tool, as ubiquitous as books, is an enormous challenge and probably it will take some generations. In this paper, I make some proposals and I give examples on how this has been done recently.
