The IT Factor - Mathematics: Purpose and Goals

This blog is a forum for parents, teachers, students, and others to join in a conversation about integrating technology into the mathematics classroom. Mathematics is a “high-stakes” area and there are many forums out there to discuss how to improve test scores and such. That is not what this blog is about. This blog is a sounding board for ideas, concerns, and much more. I hope that through this blog, you will be able to understand more about technology integration in the mathematics classroom as well as express ideas regarding the technology friendly classroom. Please join us in a great discussion.

Blog 1 - Working Definition of Technology Integration

Technology Integration is a combination of many things. It is the way teachers use technology in the classroom. It is what teachers use to integrate their lessons. Technology integration happens when teachers use the tools that they have available to create a learning environment that allows students to explore the world of education through many different tools. In a classroom, the teacher’s responsibility is to prepare the students for the future. This future includes today, tomorrow and 10 years from now. A teacher should show students how technology can be useful in all types of academic situations. This happens when the teacher is appropriately integrating technology through the regular curriculum.
