Technology in Math

During mine and Ashley’s first day of lab experience I learned a great deal about how schools are utilizing technology. For instance in the Algebra class we sat in on they all had their own laptop issued by the school, they had a reversible screen that they could write on. They also had a program called DINO, it allowed their laptops to send their work to the teachers computer, and it would show on the smart board. Also on their laptops were digital versions of all their books, so they did not have to carry all their books around just a small laptop case. There was however one downside to the technology. They had an issue with their screens going blank, and by the end of the day all of their batteries were beginning to go dead. Regardless of these two issues, it was very cool to see how easily and seamlessly technology was used in the classroom.
