Math+and+Macs...Using+Tech+to+Enhance+My+Teaching

 media type="file" key="ADE Application.m4v.temp.mp4" width="300" height="300" This year SAS adopted a one-to-one laptop program for grades 7-10. As a math teacher, I struggled with using our new macs with my students. I was, or am, a veteran teacher with over twenty years of experience. How could I possibly get rid of my reliable pencil and jump into a digital world? I knew, though, that my students were wired. The day they arrived with their macs in my room I knew, too, that teaching as I had known it needed to change. Because of this, this current school year has been hectic. I embrace the challenges that come my way to use technology and I have come a long way in a few short months. I am excited to be continually learning, and I believe my kids have been positively impacted by having the latest technology at their fingertips. I also believe it has empowered them- they know so much and now my students can be teachers too! They continue to amaze me with their fearless approach to learning new techniques and their willingness to help out the needy new techies- their teachers.

This page will highlight a few of the ways I am integrating technology into my classes. I sincerely hope to keep adding to my bag of tricks!
