Learn how to bring the language and world of math to your students through a full continuum of technology tools. This demonstration workshop is designed to help teachers match assistive and educational technologies to national math standards and to use brain-based teaching strategies to make sure that the lessons "stick." Participants will explore a variety of low-tech tools for measurement, color, problem alignment, highlighting, use of rubber stamps, markerboards, magnifiers, and more. They will have the opportunity to compare features in calculator categories including talking, giant, conversion, subject specific and money calculators, and participants will discover how to make talking flash cards with a simple AT digital recording device. They’ll look at scanning pens that read problems to students and hand-held electronics for data collection "in the field." With high-tech, they’ll explore computer programs that help complete computations on screen, programs that help students visualize number relationships, and specific programs that help students master graphs and spreadsheets. While we call these assistive technologies, this workshop is definitely for everyone who wants to learn "special" tools can make any math class more successful!
