Benefits and Reasoning for Technology IntegrationThroughout our experience in the MAT program and working in schools, theres one main concept we should have grasped by now and thats how every individual is different. We all have different strengths and weaknesses and wont always learn best the same way.Mathematics tends to be a more resented subject and one that students often have trouble understanding. In math class you commonly hear the students say why do we need to learn this? and Ill never use this in real life! despite the fact that math is seen and used almost every where and is extremely beneficial.The purpose of my presentation is to show how technology can be used to help deflate some of these common issues in math classes and with math lessons. Different forms of electronic aids can help present the material in different ways that can be more entertaining, relatable, and appealing to kids, all while keeping the focus on whats important learning.

Credibility of internet CONTENTAll information, websites, videos, and any internet content have been reviewed as safe, appropriate, and reliable not only for the use of this presentation but for any implementation within a classroom environment.

Images have been collected from yahoo and google images as well as screenshots taken off given websites. For proper citation, hyperlinks have been attached to the images and URLs can be found within the note section.

Videos have been formatted to display within the presentation (hopefully) but links to the videos should be found in the note section as well!

Kidspiration

Kidspiration is a great program which allows teachers to create their own diagrams, worksheets, graphs, charts, or any visual displays for a given lesson or topic. The teacher can either print out copies for the class or even just project it up on the projector/Smartboard for the students to look at while working on their own paper so they have to copy and graph properly themselves.

Web 2.0Teachers pay teachers is a great website which allows teachers to stay connected and share effective lesson plans with each other. It allows you to not only narrow down your search by subject but by grade, resource, and featured filters as well. If you needed a graphing lesson for common core, a fun game, or a lesson that uses the white/smartboard, this website allows you to find exactly what you need. Price varies from free to 10+ so you can be generous or even make some side cash.PowerSchool is a great way for teachers, students, and even parents to stay connected. It can be used on the computer or even as a phone app and allows for teachers to post grades and parents/students to check them.Social Medias such as facebook, twitter, and instagram also provide services for teachers to stay connected and share information. Such as making a group on facebook, which allows for certain privacy/security settings and filters to keep the group PG friendly.

BlogsBlogs can be a helpful way of relaying information not only from teacher to teacher but teacher to student and teacher to parent as well. They can be good for helping students stay on top of assignments and good visual/verbal aids for instructions.One blog I was lucky to find is one that is done daily by an 8th grade mathematics teacher at Slavens School district. This teacher in particular posts all of his lessons and assignments each day on the blog so that others (teachers, admin., students, parents) can follow along with what the class does daily. This is great because it not only helps with graphing lessons but other lessons that apply to the same grade level! This site gave me greater appreciation towards the impact that blogs can actually have in a classroom environment!Another blog I found useful was Chalk Talk! Its similar to teachers pay teachers because it allows for teachers to share lessons but it gives them more freedom to describe and talk about the lesson and how it went. This site is great because it has a filtered search (its own search for graphs!) and despite having a younger age group focus, the lessons can be great templates.

PodcastsPodcasts are a great way to help auditory learners with any lesson. They can be used as a way to help reinforce old knowledge by letting students hear important information again or they can even be helpful for explaining new information. Some times the way we teach a lesson doesnt make sense to some students especially in mathematics when a lot of problems can be done/solved differently. Podcasts allows for another explanation of the material besides our own and can even lead to new alternatives to problem solving.Itunes is a great provider for podcasts and can usually be found using a podcasts search on the itunes store. Two mathematics blogs I was able to find through Itunes were Math Dude and Math for Primates. They both discuss many great mathematical topics, including graph functions and graph tips.

Hyperlinks have been posted in the text and photos. Photos were found on the itunes website with hyperlinks as well.

Visual PodcastVisual Podcasts are a great way of combining the auditory and visual aspects of teaching. They not only have the voice of another person teaching a certain topic but allow for you to follow along with a video display as well.

The Video Math Tutor is a great website that provides different types of mathematics tips. Such as tips on getting started in math class, using/reading the textbook, studying, and even calculator use. The site even provides brain teasers, basic math lessons, and algebra lessons which can all be useful 6th grade and up.

Applications (apps)Apple and android do a great job providing apps for both mobile phones and computers. This is great because a lot of schools tend to provide computers either microsoft or apple macbooks, such as my middle school. You can find plenty of education apps and through a filtered search I could find mathematical apps and graphing apps as well! They have apps for all age groups and they range from mathematical tools (calculators, rulers, etc.) and practice exercises to fun educational games.Math Playground is a great website that is education friendly and student safe. From graphing games, to word problems, math videos, to common core, there are plenty of opportunities for all types of learners. Students are growing up in a world of entertainment and video games so this is a way to help make math a little more fun and relatable to the students.

pHOTO mATH Video (Click ^)This application seems a little high risk in terms of the way it can be used by students, for example students can use it to help them complete homework which would harm independent thinking. However If implemented properly it has benefits such as how students can use it as a way to check answers or even get help with ones they are struggling on. It can help break down the steps to the problem and is a cool up to date app that can be found on any apple or android phone!

Has its flaws but can be a great tool!10

Educational websites/Teaching AidsIXL is a great website that lets you pick a subject and then pick any grade k-12. It can be valuable for not only students but teachers as well. It contains all topics for that grade in the common core curriculum and has practice exercises teachers can either use or assign!Khan academy is a similar website and also has practice excerices and videos for k-8, high school and beyond! Also great way for teachers to achieve more information and exercises.Moby Max is a great website that is great for student and teachers in K-8 schools teaching common core. The middle school I intern at uses this website as a way for students to complete various curriculum based exercises and even exams. The teachers can check up on how many exercises the student has completed, what they got right and wrong, and their grades on exams (which can be categorized to be on graphing). Students can earn points which allow them to exchange points for games as a reward.

IXL Eighth Grade Math Link! Great website for any middle school teacher. Has all topics covered throughout the common core curriculum!

worksheetMath aids is a great website that provides hundreds of worksheets for all topics. There is a great selection for graphing worksheets. It can help students practice their coordinate planes and even making their own graphs and fun shapes! Worksheets can tend to be a little repetitive and dont always appeal to every learning style but they can still be useful when implemented periodically. They also allow for good homework or partner exercises which help build a sense a community.

PuzzlesPuzzles can be another great activity to help kids keep up with the mathematical vocabulary, terms, and concepts that come with graphing. Its a way to help kids not only practice learning the terms but retain the definitions as and help them use them more frequently.

Websites such as the Teachers corner, and puzzle maker allow teachers to create these educational puzzles with clues and definitions.

PollsA big problem in school today is students on their cell phones. Poll everywhere is a great website that allows teachers to create polls which students have to answer by either sending a text or using a computer. Its educational but allows students to have fun learning because they feel a sense of freedom using their phones and it can be seen as cool.

Polls provide great visual aids to help teachers start open end discussions and get a class thinking about a topic. Its also a great way to review and assess a lesson and see how well students understood the topic. Sometimes students are too shy to share their thoughts or answers and this can be a helpful tool to get everyone participating.
