1. Integrating Technology Into the Mathematics Classroom Erik Krivitsky

2. Main Idea "Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning."

3. Examples of Technology Found Calculators Computer Software Internet Interactive Whiteboard NEXT

4. Calculators Study Aids Inverse Functions Function Families Compare Values Programmable Calculators Graphing Calculators BACK

5. Computer Software Geometry Drawing Programs Spreadsheets Word Processing Presentation Programs BACK

6. Internet Basic use of the Internet Download Software Locate Information BACK

7. Interactive Whiteboard Come with software compatible for math classes Plot points on a graph Visually see things BACK

8. Pros vs. Cons Pros Calculators are almost a must Technology makes information easily accessible Software allows for easier computation and further development Cons Some students don’t have the same access to technology outside of the classroom Students become calculator dependent Some students don’t know how to use technology, so much of the lesson can be spent on instructing how to use the technology

9. Personal Belief I believe that technology is a good thing to utilize but a little goes a long way. Personally, I won’t allow my classroom to overuse technology because I believe math is a skill that everyone must have and you won’t always be able to look up the answer, or have a calculator to compute things. Understanding why things work the way they do is a part of the learning experience and can enhance and further progress the education of students in today’s technological age.
