Abstract
The digital age has led to a variety of educational technologies for integrating technology into instructional delivery. This explains why educational institutions around the world are constantly keeping up with the trends in educational technologies to deliver instruction and provide quality education. The technological era has transformed classrooms from teacher-centered to student-centered. Digital age learners in K-12 science education are digitally inclined and equipped with a wealth of information at their fingertips because of their exposure to digital devices. This influences how they think, process content, and synthesize information. It is therefore imperative for science teachers to aid digital age learners in making connections between science subjects and overall understanding. This study provides a rich description of the use of educational technology in K-12 science education to foster connectivism and digital literacy among students.
