Evaluating Technology
- Consider Criteria (Authority, Content, Objectivity, Accuracy, Currency, Audience)
- Appropriate justification for Technology
- Evidence/Verification of Techology
To Teach Mathematics:
Calculators - Study aids help teach students the calculator procedure along with the new information at the same time - Can be used to teach about different concepts relating to geometry and trigonometry - Can be used to teach about graphing and how different values affect the result a graph produces - Can be used to show entire class examples of how different problems are formulated Computer Software - Geometry drawing programs can be used to show students different elements apart of geometry - Word processing can be used to create rubrics, worksheets, or other important elements needed within a classroom - Presentation programs, like PowerPoint, can be used to present information to an entire class SMART Board - Use to present new information to class - Use to clarify information to the whole class - Use to project problems so students can see the teacher work through different problems and concepts Internet - Use to research math concepts and for projects - Create custom mathematical web search on Google - Use websites, for example YouTube to watch informational videos |
Technology can be used to teach, learn, and assess student learning in Mathematics
To Learn Mathematics: Interactive white boards, such as a SMART Board, for students to practice problems on the board, also can provide games that the whole class can participate in Digital video cameras can be used for students to make mathematical presentations to demonstrate their understanding of different math concepts Calculator - Use as a study aid in order to relate what the information they are learning to the calculator procedure - Can practice geometry and trigonometry with different short cuts the calculator provides - Can practice graphing data and functions used in mathematics - Use to compare combinations and values of different numbers - Use to create different problems they are learning about Computer Software - Geometry drawing programs can be used for students to practice finding number of sides, angles, and also measure different geometry elements - Spreadsheets can be used with measurement to compare and record data - Word processing can be used to reflect on concepts that have been learned and make graphs - Presentation programs, like PowerPoint, can be used by students to present information they found to the class To Assess Student Learning:
