Technology Integration In Secondary Mathematics Classrooms: Effect On Students’ Understanding, Megan Sheehan, Leah Nillas

Scholarly Publications

Technology use in secondary mathematics courses has the potential to bring about broad changes in learning environment and teaching pedagogy, allowing students to communicate and collaborate in new ways and to conjecture, justify, and generalize findings. However, this potential is only realized when teachers use technology in ways encouraging these outcomes (Galbraith, 2006). The purpose of this study is to examine the integration of technology in secondary mathematics classrooms and to evaluate the effectiveness of its use in relation to students’ learning outcomes. This self study research was conducted in honors geometry and AP calculus classes. Data sources included transcripts …

Thinkfinity Grant: Interactive White Board: Status Report, Mortola Library, Center For Teaching, Learning And Technology

Cornerstone 3 Reports : Interdisciplinary Informatics

The Mortola Library and Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology are working together on a joint pilot project utilizing the technology of interactive white boards (IWBs, also known by the brand name SMART Board). The mobile IWB serves three purposes: improve faculty development and increase integration of Web 2.0 tools into faculty development sessions, improvement of Information Literacy instruction sessions, and increase availability of new technologies for members of the Pace Community, students in particular, to use within the library.

Thinkfinity.Org Videos, Robert Del Greco, Graduate Assistant

Cornerstone 1 Reports : Expansion and Enhancements of the Thinkfinity Platform

Follow-up reports on the integration of videos in the Thinkfinity projects.

Original Goals: • To establish a rapport with a school in which Thinkfinity.org videos could be produced. • To create a reproducible format that could be used to create future Thinkfinity.org videos. • To create a video series (no less than 5 videos) of interactive whiteboard enhanced lessons based on Thinkfinity.org lesson plans that demonstrate how teachers can utilize both resources.
