Classroom technology

Today in class we discussed what sort of technology we would like to have in our future classrooms. Being a math teacher, I struggled to figure out cool ways to combine math and technology. Math does not lend itself to technology particularly well. The history and English people had really creative ways to incorporate technology into their classrooms, so it was a little discouraging to look at my drawing and not see very much technology. However, looking back on it and thinking about it a little more I can see a few ways to begin to incorporate technology and math. There are some very engaging computer graphing programs that could be useful in a middle or high school classroom. Even though I did not see much today, I am very hopeful and excited about the potential ways for math to become more technologically friendly. I think we can find some unique methods for making math instruction interesting through technology.
