solve division problems using a number line

and multiplication songs.

“User friendly” ?

Showing Up The Technology

Continuing

• Used the projector to display story problems• Used manipulatives to solve story problems• Discussed solution strategies with class

ReflectionWhat went well What didn’t go well•Displaying the problems for the whole class to see•Manipulatives for active student learning•Class discussions about answers

•Technology stopped working•Pacing of the lesson•Modeling for the worksheet

Next time dry run all technology before beginning the

lesson.

4 Principles of Effective Technology Integration

1. Student Use of Technology2. Technology Use is Essential3. Focus on Learning Task4. Added Value

Student Use of Technology

• The students were intended to write the answer on the Smartboard after solving it with the manipulatives

• Students used the problems projected on the whiteboard to learn the new skill set

Technology Use is Essential

• The technology was essential because it provided a resource to display the problems to the whole class

Focus on Learning Task

• The technology did not distract from the content information, but made the math problems accessible to all the students.

Added Value

• The Smartboard would have facilitated the learning and answering of questions, which wasn’t modeled by simply discussing the answers.

In Conclusion

check technology before lesson

be flexible have a back-up plan address any problems

students may be having
