What is the Purpose of this Online Resource Library? As educators, we must always seek ways to improve our instruction. Our students live in a constantly changing world that is becoming increasingly more technology dependent. In order to reach and engage our students, we must also grow in our knowledge of technology and use it to our advantage. My hope is that this resource library will provide my fellow teachers at my elementary school with many different tools and resources to be used in their classroom. The tools and resources found on this website range across different grade levels and math content areas. Each tool has an attached evaluation by myself and my classmates from my CEP 805 class. This class is part of my Masters program and it has taught me so much about the importance of including technology in our instruction for the right reasons. The purpose of doing the technology evaluations is to get down to the goals of each tech tool. We need to be sure the technology we bring into the classroom is meaningful and makes learning more efficient. We want tools that allow students to self check, and to keep the teacher informed of how the students are progressing. Please enjoy your stay! |
