Applications of computing
technologies such as graphics calculators, computers and the internet in the
classroom. Emphasis is placed on integrating these technologies into the
teaching of school mathematics and science.
Course Objectives
The student will:
1.
review literature on integrating technology in K-12
mathematics/science classrooms.
2.
discuss using graphics calculators, such as the TI-82,
TI-83 and TI-92, to solve problems in K-12 mathematics and science.
3.
discuss using computer technologies such as Derive,
Mathematica, Mathcad, and Geometers Sketchpad to solve problems in K-12
mathematics and science.
4.
discuss using the Internet as a resource in K-12
mathematics and science.
5.
discuss the appropriate strategies for implementing a
technology plan in a K-12 mathematics/science setting.
