Leah, today, we’re going to talk about how to use technology to make science more exciting and more effective. So, Leah, what’s your first idea for using technology to engage kids in science? Is technology a distraction? I always think of giving my students that sandbox time so that they can play a little bit with the software.

We know kids these days.
