Technology and Math
for Struggling Learners
This week, you are going to explore several different technologies designed to assist struggling math learners.  During this class, you will visit numerous websites on the Internet.  If you are working on this class from your school, and cannot access several sites, it's probably due to the school's firewall.  In that case, you will have to find another location to complete this class. The inability to access a large amount of these websites will hinder your ability to complete your assignments.

  1. Learn how struggling learners can use technology to meet the NJCCC Standards.
  2. Explore low-tech and high-tech solutions for math.
  3. Explore and analyze a collection of web-based resources to support learning math.
  4. Develop a math lesson plan for struggling students using technology solutions.
This week's class will consist of the following activities:
