  1. “If we teach today the way we were taught yesterday we aren't preparing students for today or tomorrow.” ~Author Unknown

  2. A Vision of K-12 Students Today

  3. Measurable Objective • Identify ways of enhancing mathematics instruction • through the use of technology

  4. Technology “Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning.”

  5. The Technology Principle

  6. Role of the Teacher Teacher decides how technology will be utilized…

  7. Representations • Pictures • Tables • Graphs • Symbols • Displays ~ NCTM, 2000

  8. How does technology enhance mathematics instruction? • Whole class instruction • Individual students

  9. Technology • “To live, learn, and work successfully in an increasingly complex and information-rich society, students must be able to use technology effectively.” • ~NCTM, 2005

  10. Technology Within an effective educational setting, technology can enable students to become: • Capable information technology users. • Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators. • Problem solvers and decision makers. • Creative and effective users of productivity tools. • Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers. • Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens. ~ (NETS, 2004)

  13. Think-Pair-Share What technology and instructional websites do you currently use to assist your students with: • fluency and learning of basic facts? • problem solving?

  14. Instructional Software Research shows positive effects through… • Drill and practice tutorials • Computer programming

  15. Digital Natives Schools are stuck in the 20th century. Students have rushed into the 21st. How can schools catch up and provide students with a relevant education? ~Prensky, 2005

  16. Knowledge of the Teacher

  17. ~ Prensky, 2005

  18. Questions to consider… • How do you incorporate the use of technology in your mathematics classroom? • What evidence have you seen that technology deepens students’ mathematical understanding? • How have your instructional design and the teaching of lessons changed because of technology?

  19. “If this tool doesn’t dramatically change the way we teach mathematics and the mathematics we teach, then we must seriously question our professional integrity.” ~Frank Demana, Ohio State University professor, 1995

  20. More questions to consider… • How has technology enabled collaboration with teachers of other subjects (for example, using data collected in a science class to further a mathematics exploration or using population and demographic information related to a social studies class as a basis for mathematical discourse)? • How do you use technology with special needs students? With ELL students? • How do you integrate the use of technology into your assessment tasks?

  21. Use of Graphing Calculators Research shows that schools where students have a personal graphing calculator for use outside of class and for homework tend to report higher achievement. ~Ellington (2003)

  22. Car and Motorcycle Problem x= motorcycles y= cars

  23. Other Calculator Keystrokes

  24. Texas Instruments Taken from: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/sectionHome/classroomactivities.html

  25. Examples of the kinds of technology and classroom applications that are available: • WebQuests • Videostreaming • Applets • Podcasts • Personal digital assistants • Interactive online learning, including simulations • Web pages and blogs • Digital cameras • Document cameras • Electronic white boards • Spreadsheets • Animation • Calculators (including fraction, graphing, and scientific calculators) • Software (including, but not limited to, interactive geometry software, dynamic algebra software, and/or dynamic data analysis software) • Environmental probes • Electronic testing devices • Data collection devices • Global positioning systems

  26. “Teachers must become comfortable as co-learners with their students and with colleagues around the world. Today it is less about staying ahead and more about moving head as members of dynamic learning communities. The digital-age teaching professional must demonstrate a vision of technology infusion and develop the technology skills of others. These are the hallmarks of the new education leader.” ~Don Knezek, ISTE CEO, 2008

  27. "What students should know and be able to do to learn effectivelyandlive productively in an increasingly digital world …” • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and Information Fluency • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making • Digital Citizenship • Technology Operations and Concepts ~ ISTE, 2008

  28. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)-National Educational Technology Standards (NETS•T) and Performance Indicators for Teachers 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity 2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments 3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility 5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership ~ ISTE, 2008
