Technology-Supported Mathematics Activities Situated Within an Effective Learning Environment Theoretical Framework

Abstract

In the past 3 years, content-based technology integration has been a significant focus at the University of Colorado at Boulder's (UCB) School of Education. Assisted by a United States Department of Education's Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) grant, UCB School of Education faculty and instructors are continually challenged to use technology effectiv ely and innovatively across the teacher preparation program. Using technology appropriately and meaningfully has been an overarching theme across all content areas and, specifically, in mathematics.
