What did you do? And even more importantly, HOW did you do it?
Share with other high school and college teachers your successful and not-so-successful experiences using technology in teaching mathematics! We encourage submissions from instructors at four-year colleges, universities, community colleges, and high schools on using and assessing technology in: visualization of mathematics; investigations in mathematics; interactive mathematics classes on site or at a distance; mathematics and its applications; student projects in mathematics; nuts and nolts and innovative use of specific software, calculators, the Internet, podcasts, etc.; interdisciplinary applications of math and technology; classes for preservice teachers; or other math with technology teaching and learning situations.
