Abstract
The proposed presentation is designed to conduct renewed discussion on the role of education research in teaching mathematics using technology in middle schools. It reports on program evaluations conducted in four middle schools of a school district at southern California. Supported by a state grant, the program focused on training 6th to 8th grade mathematics teachers to effectively integrate technology into their classroom. During the 2005-2008 academic year, a total of 60 teachers received various technology training supported by the grant. Each of them received a projection system, an Interwrite SchoolPad (an interactive Bluetooth compatible PC), a printer, computers and some other technology equipment. The presentation shares the key components of the program and its evaluation including methods and results.
