I’m going to begin a book study soon of Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works. There are four math teachers in our department with Hitachi Starboards, Avervision document cameras, and eInstruction student response systems, and we are going to use this book as a catalyst for our discussions of ways to better utilize these technologies in our classrooms. I plan to post my comments and reactions here throughout our book study.

I am also purchasing Engaging the Online Learner. I’ll be teaching an online math course next year and am definitely looking for ways to make it an interactive experience; hopefully this book will give me some ideas for this.

In Teching Out H.S. Math, Ben Licciardi has described Patty Papers as a “forward-thinking site” in ASCD’s EdBlog Watch. Ben is an information resource coordinator in ASCD’s Information Resource Center. Thanks, Ben!

Marzano+tech

UsingTechIf you are familiar with Marzano’s book, Classroom Instruction That Works, soon there will be a spin-off that incoporates technology into the mix. It’s called Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works and is published by ASCD. I have been working with Marzano’s text for the past two years and am anxious to see what new strategies I can pick up for using my classroom technology more effectively.
