W4_Reading

In an article by John Bellamy and John Mativo, the main idea that will help in my journey was that technology is not just media technology.  As teachers in the 21st century we need to bring, specifically in mathematics education, the real-world to our students.  Make the math concepts and theorems and steps for solving problems come to life.  And do this in any way that the leaders of the school will allow.  If you cannot get the guest speaker to come to the school, try a video conference.  If you can bring the students outside to learn a concept using technology in construction, do so.  Find a way to reach the students and take mathematics back to where it all began, understanding the world around us.
