Topic: Mathematics Education
Abstract
The Principles and Standards of School Mathematics adopted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) state that "technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning." Preparing teachers to use technology appropriately is a complex task for teacher educators. Adoption of technology by teachers requires professional development that focuses on both conceptual and pedagogical issues.
In this five-minute podcast, Joe Garofalo describes efforts in the Curry Center for Technology and Teacher Education at the University of Virginia to prepare secondary teachers to use technology to enhance and extend their students' learning of mathematics.
