ITEM: Educational Hardware and Software
In ITEM: Educational
Hardware and Software, teachers will take a guided tour of software programs
and hardware peripherals relevant to their classroom and mathematics learning,
such as KidPix, Kidspiration, Inspiration, and Microsoft Excel. Based
on the educational software and hardware available at the school district,
ITEM will explore beneficial ways to implement technology into the math
lessons. Teachers will master math software programs and hardware hands-on,
and will design a lesson to use in their classroom.
