Why Use Technology to Teach Math
Why use technology to teach math? Educational technology in the hands of students can be a great way to enhance their mathematics learning. But we do not want you to stop with digital cameras and PowerPoint. We want you to consider one more technology-- blogging!
It may seem strange to you, but blogging (that is, using the Web to log, or blog) allows students to collaborate, communicate, and research in mathematics.
See the following for a complete listing of the prompts Ms. Bithell used in her Math Journals blog.
