Evaluating Technology for Teaching Mathematics
Shin, Dongjo; Smith, Ryan C.; Kim, Somin
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, v24 n3 p156-163 Nov 2018
Use a framework to evaluate a tool: Is it mathematically sound? Does it offer opportunities for student engagement with little distraction? Will it afford students the chance to develop their own ideas? This article provides a framework that teachers can use to evaluate technological tools. The authors evaluate two examples that are designed to teach the same mathematical content, and discuss the reasons for selecting one tool over the other, based primarily on the learning goal.
