=Integrating Mathematics and Technology= Westchester Academy for International Studies

Members:

 * S. Dawson (6th Grade PreAP Math)

 * C. Wegscheid (6th-8th Grade Technology and MYP Coordinator)

Purpose:
The purpose of this page is to have a place to have collegial discussions about how to integrate technology into the math classrooms. When looking at the Texas STaR Chart data for WAIS we fall into the Developing Key Area Classification, which means that we are currently using technology primarily for direct instruction. Becoming an MYP school means integration of technology in all classes; as does the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology which states that all children will be technology literate by the end of their 8th grade school year.

Questions:

 * To move to the Advanced Key Area Classification for the Teaching and Learning Focus Area, students need to use technology to evaluate and analyze data to solve problems. What are some ways that you can use the ActivBoard, or other technology resources, to aide in reaching this classification?
