Klopfer, Eric; Yoon, Susan; Perry, Judy – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2005
This paper reports on teachers' perceptions of the educational affordances of a handheld application called Participatory Simulations. It presents evidence from five cases representing each of the populations who work with these computational tools. Evidence across multiple data sources yield similar results to previous research evaluations of…
