Technology Trends in the Classroom
One cool thing that league schools do in my area is have a league-wide inservice where teachers can get together to share and collaborate on topics in their subject area. This is great because, like myself, most other math teachers in the league are the only math teachers in the building. We ARE the math department in each building. So since we don't have people to talk with in our building, we get together once a year to discuss new trends and share ideas. At the same time, my Baker class called for me to take inventory on technology in my school and classroom. For an assignment, I created this Adobe Spark video highlighting some technology trends in today's classrooms. At the league-inservice, my fellow math teachers and I discussed at length how we're using technology in our classroom and the common theme among our answers was that technology allows us to create both a more in-depth and personal learning experience for each student. Take graphing for example.
