BE A TECH NINJA!: CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY PRACTICES IN MATHEMATICS CLASSROOMS

As a current Technology Integration Specialist (TIS) from the Portsmouth School District, RI, we explore the various technology tools teachers in K-12 classrooms have utilized to help their students articulate their analytical reasoning and mathematical sensemaking on high cognitive-demanding tasks. Together we will unpack how these various tools are enacted “in action” at the classroom level and you will have time to “play in the sandbox.” Time during the session will be devoted to (1) curating a particular tool of your choosing, (2) brainstorming on how this tool can be meaningfully incorporated into a math lesson, and (3) sharing out your ideas with others in a “Demo Slam” at the end of our session.
