Course Information:

The course introduces pre-service teachers to the applications of different instructional technologies in mathematics classrooms (K – 12). Students will examine and interpret the meanings of effective and appropriate use of technology through readings and activities. Using technology along with existing school curriculum, either as an aid or as a supplement, students will learn to create, adapt, and find technological resources. Students will be exposed to and use Web-applets and other resources on the Internet, computer-based learning software, multimedia presentations, mathematics forums, interactive whiteboards, spreadsheets, dynamic geometry software, calculators, and calculator based laboratories (CBL).

Here is a list of objectives that student should take from the course:

• Students will differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate uses of technology for teaching and learning.

• Students will identify technological resources available in schools and analyze how these resources affect planning for instruction.

• Students will identify, select, and use hardware and software designed for K-12 mathematics classrooms to meet specific teaching and learning objectives.

• Students will assess the use of technology-based assessments.

• Students will create technology-based lessons that address multiple learning styles.

• Students will acquire the knowledge necessary to prepare lessons that use technology focused on presentation and problem solving.
