Desmos and GeoGebra will serve as our primary visualization tools. Desmos provides an accessible platform for students to explore exponential growth curves with immediate visual feedback. GeoGebra's multilingual support allows students to explore logarithmic functions across different cultural contexts, helping our diverse learners connect with the material in their primary language while building mathematical vocabulary in English.

To ensure appropriate use, I'll implement structured Desmos Activity Builder tasks featuring real-world data from different countries, creating entry points for discussions about global challenges like climate change and resource management. Students will follow guided exploration pathways with clear learning objectives rather than unfocused exploration.

The virtual exchange through AFS Intercultural Programs (n.d.) connects our students with mathematics learners worldwide. This platform transforms traditional problem-solving into collaborative cross-cultural experiences. Students will compare logarithmic applications with international peers, gaining perspective on how mathematical concepts are applied in different cultural contexts.

To maintain focus, I'll provide structured collaboration guidelines and specific mathematical discussion prompts. Scheduled check-ins will ensure productive exchanges centered on mathematical concepts rather than casual conversation.

Book Creator, Flipgrid, and Canva will empower students to demonstrate understanding through creating digital artifacts. These tools particularly support our English Language Learners by providing multiple modes of expression beyond traditional written assessments.

For proper use, I'll model exemplary digital creations and provide clear rubrics emphasizing mathematical content over decorative elements. Class time for technology familiarization will ensure all students can focus on mathematical thinking rather than technical challenges.
