Exploring the Phenomenon of Classroom Connectivity
Stephen Hegedus; James J. Kaput
Annual Meeting [of the] North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education 2002 (2002)
We describe highly generative and affectively powerful classroom activity structures that are made possible by applying new levels of connectivity across diverse hardware platforms. Based on teaching experiments involving core topics in basic...

The Effect of a SimCalc Connected Classroom on Students' Algebraic Thinking
Stephen J. Hegedus; Jim Kaput
International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education 3 (July 2005) pp. 47–54
We report the findings of an empirical analysis of the performance of a group of middle and high school students before and after an after-school algebra enrichment program using the SimCalc software incorporating classroom networks. The results...

An Introduction to the Profound Potential of Connected Algebra Activities: Issues of Representation, Engagement and Pedagogy
Stephen J. Hegedus; James J. Kaput
International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education 2004 (July 2004)
We present two vignettes of classroom episodes that exemplify new activity structures for introducing core algebra ideas such as linear functions, slope as rate and parametric variation within a new educational technology environment that combines...

Accommodating the Instrumental Genesis Framework within Dynamic Technology Environments
Stephen J. Hegedus; Luis Moreno-Armella
For the Learning of Mathematics Vol. 30, No. 1 (2010) pp. 26–31
In certain digital environments, "hot-spots" are key infrastructural pieces that allow the dynamic construction and re-construction of mathematical figures. We shall discuss their existence with respect to what we call user-environment co-actions,...

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...
