8. Using Technology to Help Math


8. Using Technology to Help Math

      My first practicum is coming up and I have been searching for different programs to help me teach math. In my search I stumbled upon http://www.educational-software-directory.net/math. This site is amazing! It provides the teacher and the student an opportunity to explore mathematical problems together or independently. And almost every sub-subject within the curriculum has a program or game designed around the material.
Reflection
·       Students love technology. Anything involved with a computer and children jumps at the idea.
·       Technology is another way to help students connect to the material and connect to the visual learns and the students that have to do an activity to remember it.
Reflection on Reflection
·       Might as well embrace technology as soon as possible because the use in the classroom is only going to go up in coming years. Soon Smart Boards will be in every classroom and students will have the opportunity to interact with the software on a daily bases.
