Mathematics in Education

This past week our pod cast assignment was to listen to Judy Chandler's take on mathematics and education. This pod cast relates to me because my major is secondary math education. She states that teachers do not embrace technology and use it effectively in the classroom. She says that technology is necessary to enhancing mathematics and teaching it effectively. She believes that students need more than just a textbook to learn math.
This was an interesting pod cast to listen to seeing as it relates to my major. I totally agree with what she says throughout the podcast. But math is not the only subject in which technology could enhance the class and increase learning in. Technology could be useful in all subjects if allowed. Teachers need to embrace technology and use it for the good of their students.
