This trail is a collection of Trailfire trails created by graduate students in ECI 511 (distance education technology integration course) at North Carolina State University. Most of the students in ECI 511 are teachers who have created a trail for their own K-12 students, so the various trails in this collection should provide some topic ideas for Trailfire trails in K-12. I personally think the best trails go beyond annotating the Web page and include instructions for students to try out something on the page (e.g., take the quiz, do the simulation), or questions for students to answer from the information found on the page. Some of the students' trails below include guiding questions. See, for example, trails by Kelly Glover, Lisa Johnson, Earnestine Pollard, Robert Thomas, Valerie Faulkner, Alice Hager, Karen Hughes, and Kathleen Mapson.

This trail was created for students in the technology integration class ECI 511 at North Carolina State University. It provides an introduction to the range of tools and resources available to support science education. As shown in the Roblyer text on page 338, technology is commonly used in science to support science concept learning, inquiry-based science, authentic science, and to provide access to science information and tools.
