Math with Technology
"Research shows that integrating technology into instruction tends to move classrooms from a teacher-dominated to student-centered learning environments. In such "constructivist" classrooms, students tend to work collaboratively, have more opportunities to make choices, and play a more active role in their learning (Mize & Gibbons, 2000; Page 2002; Waxman, Connell & Gray, 2002). Technology allows teachers to differentiate instruction more efficiently by providing a wider variety of avenues for learning that reach all learning styles" (Hubbell, Kuhn, & Pitler, 2102, p.3).

It is engrained in their everyday life! it is NORMAL! Paper and Pencil activities do not excite our students. So why not use these everyday tools to engage our students in their learning!
