| Summary: | Considerable pedagogical advantage may be gained by the integration of the different ICT tools commonly used in teaching science and technology, particularly by integrating ``real'' and ``virtual'' laboratory activities. In the context of this paper, ``real'' laboratories involve benchtop experiments utilizing data acquisition systems while ``virtual'' laboratories entail interactive simulations and animations. Examples of such integrated activities are described; namely, (i) the study of wave phenomena using sound and (ii) a study of motion in one dimension. Such integrated computerized teaching tools also provide an opportunity for a greater level of integration of different science and technology disciplines.
