Abstract
Researchers continue to argue that more research is needed con-cerning how teachers actually integrate instructional technology into their curriculum. This qualitative study examined the incor-poration of interactive multimedia science software into a grade two classroom over a six-week period. There was growth in vari-ous social and thinking skills that were developed and reinforced within the computer-supported learning environment. Several factors that contributed to these outcomes are identified: the software's instructional design, enthusiasm, on-task behavior, cooperation and collaboration among the students, improved cognitive learning outcomes, attitudes toward science, the teach-er's pedagogical approach and attitudes toward incorporating technology into the curriculum, and an integrated curriculum. In addition, the results indicated increased positive attitudes to-wards science by the girls after using the software. Implications for computer integration are provided.
