April Journal #1

The first article I reviewed was found in the Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School Journal. The main focus of the article was to express to its readers the importance and uses of technology in the classroom. The author pinpointed the main purposes for using technology while teaching mathematics. The author also expressed how technology could be used to get the students more engaged in real-life mathematics. Technology capabilities have caused us to re-think how we are going to present material to our students. It also has helped make learning mathematics more engaging and improved the value of mathematics education for both students and teachers alike.

I felt this article expressed many quality ideas and examples as to how the use of technology can improve mathematics teaching all-around. The author talked of specific ways that could be used to implement good uses of technology while teaching your students. This information will prove to be helpful as I progress through my teaching career since technology will keep improving over the years. It will always be helpful to keep up-to-date with the uses of technology and how I can implement its uses in my classroom.
