This course explores the resources available on the Internet to enhance and support the mathematics curriculum. Comprehensive lists of sites will be provided but time will also be spent helping teachers develop effective search strategies so that they may find quality resources on their own.
Teachers also learn how to evaluate the content of sites they find.
Interactive math sites will also be explored. Teachers will be expected to revise existing lesson plans, thematic units, and activities to incorporate online resources and references. Teachers also learn how to create a WebQuest that emphasizes math skills. Participants need an Internet browser in order to access online resources. Heidi Pherrin is a Title I Resource teacher and Technology Coordinator at Walker Elementary School.
