Math in Technology

Judy Chandler explains why involving technology in mathematics is so important. Teachers think that the students just can't learn extra additions or the teacher does not want to change their teaching technique. So these teachers are reluctant to learn the technology so they can teach it to their students. So students suffer because their teachers refuse to explore such resources. Because teachers, and we as future teachers are giving the knowledge to our future generations, we should be ready and willing to help them confront what they will be seeing in the real world.
Judy Chandler encourages teachers to teach our children through using technology in the math classrooms. It can help you get through more material with your students. It also lets everyone learn in a different way. We should provide meaningful ways of keeping our students interested. It can be done by using visual presentations, audio recordings, or exploring pictures.
These podcasts were very helpful in demonstrating and explaining the importance of incorporating technology in our classroom. You can teach them but also put it into action for them through technology. Lecturing and taking notes can only go so far as to teach children and have them retain that material. If we can keep it more interesting for the students they will be able to learn much more.
Math has always been the most difficult subject for me so I know how some children feel in the math classroom. Any resources that we can use to change the way they feel about a subject can only do them good. Tools are out there for us to really put to use. Introduce them to the world of technology because they will definitely see it when it comes time for them to be in the workplace. I know that some of us as teachers and future teachers are quite ignorant when it comes to technology but it is our job to teach ourselves to get it to the students. As teachers we should never stop learning.
