This study examines strategies and obstacles encountered in infusing digital resources in the middle school mathematics and science classroom. It draws on data from principals, technology coordinators and math and science teachers in three urban middle schools in United States. All three of these schools have recently invested heavily in technology hardware and high speed Internet connectivity and as such they provide an opportunity to look beyond well documented obstacles such as outdated computers and poor Internet access. The logistical, preparatory, pedagogical and curricular challenges encountered by teachers within the study have important implications for professional development efforts aimed at improving science education through the integration of Web-based resources.
