- Abstract
Note taking applications for tablet devices offer the potential for meaningful integration of science and technology through the use of digital notebooks. This case study examined one pre-service teacher candidate's thoughts on using a digital notebook during a STEM methods course and how she transferred this knowledge and practice to a summer STEM camp. Data included artifacts from the STEM course, video of a lesson, a follow-up questionnaire, and students' notebooks. Analysis indicated that the candidate had a positive view of a digital notebook based on her use in the STEM course, and that she successfully incorporated a digital notebook into her summer STEM camp. Students' notebook entries incorporated photos, drawings, and explanations that extended beyond what they were doing in science to what they were learning. While this study shows potential for meaningful integration of science and technology through the use of a digital notebook, additional research is needed to further understand the impact a move to digital notebooks could have on the teaching and learning of science.
