Math Reflections

Reflecting on my learning this last quarter, two themes have continued to come up: students learning through manipulatives and technology and knowing my students.

Using what I know and am learning about my students can help me pick the right kind of technology and manipulatives to optimally engage students in learning.  Students will learn much more when they are able to take their learning into their own hands and it is my job to give the tools to think, not just the tools to complete a task.  We have access to so much technology that can open doors for students and we need to take advantage of it.   The more I know about my students, the more selective I can be about the technology I pick to optimize their learning.
