Web-based Tools for Science Teaching in Lower Primary School

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary findings of the use of Web-based Tools, like Tagul for generating Word Cloud and Forum for Asynchronous Online Discussion, in Science Teaching for a class of 9-year old pupils. The affordances and the implementation of the tools for Science Teaching are discussed in this paper. This exploratory case study of such tools provides encouraging evidence that the tools have the potential to engage the pupils in meaningful learning.
