This technologys project has taught me that it is extremely important to integrate technology in the classroom, not only in mathematics but in every subject. The Geometers Sketchpad can be used to teach all geometry concepts and there are ways to break away from math and use it in different subjects. I believe that technology is forever changing and advancements are being made each day, which means that our youth need it as a main staple to their education just to survive todays vast amount of technology based products.

In my future classroom I will use all technology sources provided by the school and mix them into as many lessons as possible. I do know that not all lessons can be technology based and some just have need for technology. I think it is important that students learn how to operate the basic computer systems and develop good typing skills. There are many programs online that teach typing and how to work computers and I feel strongly that students need these skills taught to them before they can use computers, tablets, or laptops for lessons, activities, or testing. Working with computers can be difficult if you are not familiar with the software so I think it is important that the teacher learns to operate the system before the students are given access to the technology.

I think this will give us some good ideas on how to explain these concepts well

Hi there,
You are off to a great start here.

Some things to add here would be your standard, lesson ideas and connections to the math text.

I'm excited to see what you are pulling together!

This link is an article on how you could make tessellations on geometers sketchpad. I think this would be a fun activity to do with students because it would allow them to be creative.

I liked this video because I have never used sketchpad and this really showed the basics of how to work it and what you could do within the program. I think this tool can be used for many different grade levels for many different lessons and activities.

Integrating technology into everyday curriculum allows students to be intellectually challenged everyday. New tech tools for visualizing and modeling, especially in the sciences, offer students ways to experiment and observe phenomenon and to view results in graphic ways that aid in understanding.

As you are exploring the technology you have been assigned, I would like you to begin posting more evidence of how you are connecting this technology with teaching math content. The idea is not just expose students to technology but rather to integrate it in a seamless manner to enhance students opportunities to experience authentic math content learning.
