Math and Technology

Technology has the opportunities to teach math in a completely new process. Conceptually, we can teach without students fully understanding the process first.They can learn it by see the concept visually, then applying the rules through a computer program.

TED, the idea blog has a video about Conrad Wolfram talking about teaching kids real math with computers. It is an excellent video, it is seventeen minutes longs but should be watched by anyone who teaches math or doesn't like math.

Another good video is from TED, Dan Meyer, Math Class Needs a Makeover and here is his blog which is full of math lessons that shows he practices what he preaches.
