Abstract: This paper discusses the capabilities of TI InterActive software, a program that creates an interactive computer environment with TI graphing calculator functionality, as an action on object approach to learning functions. With TI...

The level of mathematical thinking and problem solving required in the workplace has increased dramatically from past generations (United States Department of Education, 2003). In a 2005 policy statement the National Council of Teachers of...

The nature of fidelity in terms of technology driven mathematical objects leads to deeper awareness of how technology can affect mathematical understanding. Technology tools used in mathematics vary in the degree of mathematical and cognitive...

Abstract: Dick (2007) introduces pedagogical, mathematical, and cognitive fidelity to computer designers to help them design math related technology, but the same terminology and direction can be applied by teachers to choose technology to use in...

Teacher preparation for the 21st century deserves a front-end approach to addressing the use of technology in the learning environment. To study the effect of instructing with technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK), teachers were asked...

Given the challenge of blending a collaborative web environment with effective learning strategies within the school environment, today’s teachers and pre-service teachers are faced with updating their portfolio of teaching tools. The natural fit...

Abstract: As a 21st century learning tool Adobe Connect offers the flexibility students living in remote areas need to complete graduate studies online with many of the face-to-face class amenities. Adobe Connect makes it possible for busy teachers ...

This paper discusses the redesign process of an online graduate secondary education course that was originally designed with stand-alone activities to one that is project-based. The design is such that the graduate students participate in the kinds...

Abstract: Online enrollment in distance education courses continues to rise, and there is a pressing need for ongoing research that investigates the elements of effective online learning environments. This mixed methods study examines graduate...

This study examined the effects of a problem-based Elementary Mathematics Specialist (EMMT) Program on mathematical, technological, and pedagogical knowledge (TPACK). A questionnaire adapted from Schmidt, Baran, Thompson, Mishra, Koehler, and Shin ...
