THE WORKSHOP

You will move through the Workshop individually using this website in order to see the array of math technology available on the Internet.

Things to keep in mind: 

• We have selected a few rich problem-solving activities and ask that you enter the mind frame or 'shoes' of the students from a variety of grades while solving the problems. 
• Some activities are not Internet based, but can use e-manipulatives or virtual manipulatives to help solve them. 
• Other tasks involve simulations and still others are presented in an engaging and entertaining online game format. 
• In addition to these problems, we have provided a variety of sites that can be used to deliver curriculum in an engaging way. 
• Some websites are already databased according to Grades, others are game-based and skill based - used mainly for practice, but all can be valuable depending on the pre-work and screening you do before introducing these to your students. 

YOUR MISSION

As teachers in the age of technology, your job is to integrate technology into the classroom to enhance student learning. 


However, you must also critically analyze the web-based resources you choose to use with your students to ensure you are providing activities and resources that are:

• rich 
• safe 
• accurate 
• meet curriculum expectations

DISCUSS!

In order to engage with these problems as future math educators we would like you to leave comments on how effective or ineffective the specific use of technology is with regard to helping teach a specific math concept.

Is there anything you would change? 

Anything you see that might be problematic?
