What are other software/ technologies that are being used in the classroom today?

# data[].attributes.body
In my current placement, teachers are using Promethean boards, desktop computers and elmos. Students only have access to desktop computers in the technology room.  Teacher and students both have access to software programs that include AR and teacher tube.

However, I have seen that other school districts allow each student to have an ipad or chrome book.

School districts can begin teaching the students the basic skills of a technology program in 1st grade. As the students moves up in grades, teachers can increase the level of difficult. This allows the teacher to focus more on what is being taught, rather than how to use the program.

A key concern would be that students don’t have the knowledge and skills to operate programs. Many programs require teachers and students to have many hours of training in order to understand and access the different features of the program.

Cost of Tinkerplots - $7.00

TinkerPlots Basics
In the Tinkerplots application, Learn to enter data, use Sample Documents, stack and order data in different ways, create common graphs, use different icon types to illustrate data, and import data from an external source.

Analyzing Data

Learn to measure averages and distances, estimate central clumps, see the number or percent of data in a bin, division, or plot, and see the average color in a selected area of the graph.

Simulating Data

Learn to build a sampler, use a variety of sampler devices to best represent data distributions, use branching devices to reflect real data, and create a sampler with a hidden or locked element.

Modeling Probability

Learn to model a probability experiment, calculate an attribute, use color to see the different simple outcomes that make up an event, and determine a sample space.

Share your interactive recommendation

On this website, you can find a variety of math interactives for grades pre-k through 12th. These interactives allow students to see the materials hands-on. The coin box interactive would be beneficial for upper elementary because students might need more assistance on the program.

Wolfram Alpha can be view as a "fancy calculator". How can you use this "fancy calculator" inside of your classroom judiciously?

As a teacher, I want to see what my students can do. Students would need to show me their steps and answers before going to Wolfram Alpha. After showing me, I would allow students to use this "fancy calculator" to check their work. Students will be able to see if they were right or what steps to fix.
