Making Mathematics Come Alive With Technology - 0 views

  • Technology can serve at least four roles in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Specifically, technology can aid in (1) mathematical concept and skill development, (2) mathematical problem solving, (3) mathematical reasoning, and (4) mathematical communication (Kimmins, 1995; Kimmins and Bouldin, 1996).

  • ADHD is in epidemic proportions in our children. While this may sound like a panic statement it is not intended to incite panic. It doesn’t even have to be a crisis, except that children with ADHD test the educational system at every turn. And the educational system is failing these children. Our answer to this seems to be to blame the students, medicate them, and insist that they continue in the system that is not equipped to handle them.
  • This is the dilemma facing may schools today. Institutional school settings are based on a model of children from a different era. Children today, even those without ADHD, seem to be wired differently from the students of one hundred years ago. From a very early age we bombard them with stimulation. Before a baby can even turn over by themselves they have music, lights, and sound in their cribs, in the form of toys, mobiles, and stuffed animals that make noises or lullabies. By the time they are toddling, many of their toys make sound, light up, or move.

    A article that talks about ADHD.

    My brother has severe ADHD. I don't believe the flashing lights and such of toys really play into how easily distracted ADHD students are. Noises such as a drop of a pencil can distract them which probably happened 100 years ago just now we're more aware and educated with mental health. His teacher does things that makes games with a trampoline.

Earlychildhood NEWS - Article Reading Center - 0 views

  • We are always looking for the magic bullet, something that will solve all our problems. And, today this magic bullet for education is technology. It will solve all our problems! It will increase academic skills, reduce dropout rates, eliminate the racial divide in academic performance, and increase SAT scores. And it will make the lives of teachers easier. Well, it may not accomplish all of these goals, but educational technology does have a place in early childhood. Right? It depends on an early childhood program’s overall program goals and objectives, and the program’s goals and objectives for each student. And it depends on how computers are incorporated into the early childhood curriculum (Haugland, 2000).

Mathematics Education Resources on the Internet - 1 views

  • "leading center for mathematics and mathematics education on the Internet" and without any reservations I would agree that its coverage of math education is excellent. It contains a seemingly endless number of resources for teachers, students, and mathematicians in support of its mission to "enrich and support teaching and learning."
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Not just resources for teachers, but also for students and others that are interested in math. I like how the goal is to enrich and support teaching and learning. That is vital for education.
  • This guide is designed primarily for the mathematics educator, whether in the role of teacher or as the student in a college education program. The majority of resources included here focus on primary and secondary education, but many may easily apply to college level. Librarians will also find the databases, reference tools, and the biographic sites helpful. Because the number of Internet sites covering mathematics education is so vast, a guide to the most essential ones is useful.
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Really gives a variety of options when it comes to looking at and choosing sites for resources.
  • Sites with lesson plans are numerous, but the links listed below are good starting points because they lead to specific lessons.
    • Lindsay Mullen
       
      Also very useful to be able to go directly to these sites and develop ideas for lesson plans. Probably especially helpful for first year teachers.

    My next door neighbor's elementary school uses this. It is an online website that their school uses to keep track of their reading skills. It is nice because it is for not only the teacher and students, but also the student's parents'.

Why Use Technology in the Science Classroom? | Education.com - 0 views

  • As Ediger’s (1994) studies on Technology in the Elementary Classroom have revealed, applying technology in the classroom does several things to student learning: (1) It increases interest even in rote tasks; (2) it provides purpose for learning; (3) it can attach meaning to an ongoing lesson; (4) it provides opportunities to perceive knowledge as being related, not isolated bits; (5) it allows for individual student differences; and (6) it can affect students’ attitudes toward learning.

    My math methods professor just showed us this in class the other day-- this website has videos to show you/ your student step-by-step ways to do different math problems . The videos are all divided into different math categories. Great for helping with math homework, not only for elementary students, but for college students as well!
