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 10 - Supporting eLearning
eLearning has completely different demands than a regular classroom has. It is for mature students who can be left alone to get some of the work done at their own pace. I don't think I could see a 6th grader taking an online course. Maybe as an enrichment, but not as a credit course. I think that Egbert says it right when she says, "[eLearning] often requires students and teachers to have different skills and understandings than face-to-face classroom learning does" (Egbert, 2009, p. 207) THis is important for teachers to realize before they accept a position of teaching.
