Integrating technology takes a different form in the math classroom. Technology in other subjects can be used to teach concepts. In the math classroom, it is used to reinforce and enrich the curriculum. I feel as though it involves the students s much as the teachers. Students need to be interacting with it, not just watching the teacher do it. It is more than the teacher creating a PowerPoint or using email and a blog. Administrators, teachers, and students need to work together to use the technology to enhance to curriculum. Teachers should be open to learning new strategies and be given the time to effectively implement them. If done correctly, all will benefit.
So true that technology integration cannot just be about teachers using technology. Our students have to be directly involved.
