2.  Secondary Education  Science  Human Biology/Biology  Genetics

3.  What is ICT?  Application of ICT’s in the science classroom  Journal article  Website  Podcast  Video  Strengths/Issues  Conclusion

4.  Information and Communication Technologies  Allows external communication and information in the classroom  Radio  Tv  Computer  Cell phones  Etc.

6.  A framework for teachers’ integration of ICT into their classroom practice (Donnelly, McGarr, & O’Reilly, 2011)  Decline in students undertaking science  Simulation technology on the rise  Independent  Teacher positions  Integrating ICT into classroom  Framework

7. ““Educational change is dependent on what teachers do and think” (Fullan; as cited in Donnelly, McGarr, & O’Reilly, 2011) http://0-www.sciencedirect.com.prospero.murdoch.edu.au/science/article/pii/S0360131511000522

8.  Comprehensive research and referencing  Framework  Low running cost  Individual  Self-pace  Time

9.  Ireland study  Less students undertaking science  Barriers  Teacher positions

11.  Genetic Science and Learning Centre  Provide educational materials and programs to be used world-wide  http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/ http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/  http://teach.genetics.utah.edu/ http://teach.genetics.utah.edu/  Educational material on biological science, in particular on genetics  Used by Teachers, students and public  Meet US education standard  Learn.Genetics website is one of the most widespread education sites in the world Genetic Science Learning Center (2011)

12.  Designed for non-research audiences  Jargon-free  Target multiple learning styles  Convey concepts through animation and interactivity  Up to date  Free and easy

13.  US education standard  Copyright  Computer access

15.  Lab Out Loud Radio Program  Episode 49 “Science We Can Listen To”  Audio in classroom  Songs, interview snippets and podcasts into lesson plan Bartel & Basler (2010)

16.  Current science teachers  Multiple Science Background  Specific content (“Science Friday” )  Blog  Fun (music)  Dramatise Science Bartel & Basler (2010)

17.  Specific content  Outdated  Only one sense used = not very flexible  Credibility

19.  Encourages ICT in the classroom  Eg:  Teacher presentations  Practical experiment guide  Simulations  Pre-prepared lessons  Student assessment  Combine old methods (physical material) with new methods (ICT (simulations)) (LJCreate, 2010)

20.  Straight to the point  Visual examples  Easy to digest  Brief length  Engaging

21.  Not expanded or explained ideas  Does not cover issues of ICT  No dialogue

22.  There are good ICT’s and applications available for educational purposes and many are free  Educational websites are great tools for in classroom and out of the classroom work  ICT’s are facilitators like teachers  Learning through different senses  Fun and different for students  Strengths out weigh issues
