Effective Use of Technology In the Classroom?

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-say-an-apple-for-the-teacher dept.

postermmxvicom writes "I remember in college I had one professor who, in addition to being a great teacher, really took advantage of the technology in the classroom to illustrate the concepts for Calculus and Linear Algebra. Well, now I am the teacher. I teach Algebra, AP Calculus, and Physics in high school. This year I have gotten a tablet and a wireless projector. Now I can write on my tablet instead of the board, as well as use other applications. I want to utilize this tech effectively for teaching. Would you please share how you have seen technology effectively used for Math and Physics — either specific software or how that software was used (specific or general)?"

    Lecture: A period of time when the notes of the lecturer are transferred to the notebooks of the students without going through the brain of either.
