  1. Integrating Educational Technology Into Teaching Teaching and Learning With Technology in Mathematics and Science Instruction Chapter 11

  2. Issues and Problems in Mathematics Instruction • Six Principles Critical to all school Mathematics programs: • Equity • Curriculum • Teaching • Learning • Assessment • Technology

  3. “Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances the student’s learning….” stresses NCTM

  4. NCTM Standards Content Process Problem Solving Reasoning and Proof Communication Connections Representations • Numbers and Operation • Algebra, Geometry • Measurement • Data Analysis • Probability

  5. Challenges In Implementing the Principles and Standards • Teachers should consider an appropriate combination of off and on computer activities • Teachers should consider technology as a mathematical tool rather than a pedagogical tool • Teachers should view technology as a tool for developing student thinking

  6. Integration Strategies for Mathematics • Bridging the Gap Between Abstract and Concrete • *Physical and Virtual Manipulative • Allowing Representation of Mathematical Principles • *Graphing Calculators

  7. Integration Strategies for Mathematics • Supporting Mathematical Problem Solving *Geometer’s Sketchpad • Implementing Data Driven Curricula *Spreadsheets

  8. Integration Strategies for Mathematics • Supporting Math-Related Communications *Math Forum at Drexel-Ask Dr. Math • Motivating Skill Building and Practice *Leapfrog Diji

  9. Issues and Problems in Science Instruction • Accountability for Standards in Science • Narrowing Pipeline of Scientific Talent • Increasing Need for Scientific Literacy • Difficulties in Teaching K-8 Science • Objections to Virtual Science Labs

  10. Technology Integration Strategies For Science Instruction • Involving Students in Scientific inquiry through online projects • Support for Specific Processes in Scientific Inquiry • Supporting Science Skills and Concept Learning • Engaging Students in Engineering Through Robotics • Accessing Science Information and Tools

  11. Tech-Pack Needs and Challenges in Mathematics and Science Instruction 3 Components Questions: Do I have… the mathematics and or science content knowledge I need to assist my students? the technological knowledge needed to teach the content? the pedagogical knowledge needed to teach the content? • Content Knowledge • Pedagogical Knowledge • Technological Knowledge

  12. Integration Strategies for Science and Mathematics Adapting For Special Needs • Google Calculator • Web Math: enter a problem and view the step by step procedure for how the answer is derived • Wolfram Alpha: knowledge engine that computes simple and complex calculations • Filament Games: a series of middle school life science games • Explore Learning’s Gizmos: offers over 450 highly interactive simulations for students grades 3-12
