SimCalc: Democratizing Access to Advanced Mathematics
Deborah Tatar; Jeremy Roschelle; Stephen Hegedus
International Journal of Designs for Learning Vol. 5, No. 2 (Nov 03, 2014)
Historically, what people can learn is co-determined by the representational infrastructure for knowledge building. When Latin was the required medium of knowledge building, few could engage in scholarly activities; without the change to the...

The Role of Research on Contexts of Teaching Practice in Informing the Design of Handheld Learning Technologies
William R. Penuel; Deborah G. Tatar; Jeremy Roschelle
Journal of Educational Computing Research Vol. 30, No. 4 (Apr 01, 2004) pp. 353–370
One definition of design is "creating something new that fits with reality" (Stults, 1985). This article describes a project in which the researchers started with the intuition that new handheld-based wireless technologies held the promise of...

Five Key Considerations for Networking in a Handheld-Based Mathematics Classroom
Jeremy Roschelle; Phil Vahey; Deborah Tatar; Jim Kaput; Stephen Hegedus
International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education 4 (July 2005) pp. 71–78
Handheld devices, most familiar to educators today in the form of graphing calculators, are rapidly improving their interface, computational, and communication capabilities. Communication capabilities allow participants to rapidly share mathematical ...

Handheld tools that 'Informate' Assessment of Student Learning in Science: A Requirements Analysis
Jeremy Roschelle; William R. Penuel; Louise Yarnall; Nicole Shechtman; Deborah Tatar
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning Vol. 21, No. 3 (June 2005) pp. 190–203
An important challenge faced by many teachers as they involve students in science investigations is measuring (assessing) students' progress. Our detailed requirements analysis in a particular school district led to the idea that what teachers need...

Scaling up Innovative Technology-Based Mathematics
Deborah Tatar; Jeremy Roschelle; Jennifer Knudsen; Nicole Shechtman; Jim Kaput; Bill Hopkins
Journal of the Learning Sciences Vol. 17, No. 2 (April 2008) pp. 248–286
We report on the initial attempts at evaluating "at scale" a particular technological/curricular innovation that enables more students to develop deeper knowledge. The methods, issues, and findings of the current pilot experiment speak not only to...
