Enhancing Mathematical Learning in a Technology- Rich Environment

Suh, J.M., Johnston, C.J., and Douglas, J. (2008). Enhancing mathematical learning in a technology-rich environment. Teaching Mathematics (15)4, 235-241.

I really liked this journal because I thought the authors gave really creative ways to incorporated technology into an allready technlolgy "savvy" classroom. The idea I liked most was creating a story map for fractions and money because it was connecting math with a Language Arts class. In Language Arts classes, students make story maps to review and fully grasp the concept of characters are and their charactistics. I beleive it is very important to incorporate similiar learning strategies into a variety of classes. I also enjoyed hearing that the authors really emphasized on interactive programs to help students unterstand that the information. This article was great becuase, there was a section where the authors explain for teachers of how to slowly but surely incorporate creative technology in the classroom.
