I am in Algebra right now so I use one almost everyday, like Stephanie said I too visualized technology as smartphones and such not a calculator.<br /><br />Jenny Bradleyjenbradley513https://www.blogger.com/profile/04886179448372461218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138130721545432919.post-92154064619892714962011-11-17T20:34:26.151-08:002011-11-17T20:34:26.151-08:00I totally agree with you Stephanie in regards to g...I totally agree with you Stephanie in regards to graphing calculators. I never really realized that you could visualize with calculators but as I think of it, I see students make different connections and discovers with them on a daily bases. I love that in mathematics and technology can give you so many ways to visualize and actually discover and learn new information. I’m so excited to come up with new lessons that will allow my students to visualize with technology.<br />Terra BrownTerra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721735402133391410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138130721545432919.post-67549828492603928732011-11-17T12:38:27.749-08:002011-11-17T12:38:27.749-08:00I plan on being a math teacher and so I also thoug...I plan on being a math teacher and so I also thought that the graphing calculators were interesting. I think it can really help lesson plans be less dull.<br /><br />ryan woodwardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138130721545432919.post-27855841464189937652011-11-17T10:59:48.624-08:002011-11-17T10:59:48.624-08:00Isn't that funny?

When thinking about technology, I think about computers, TV, picture-taking phones/cameras, and such. However, now knowing that a graphing calculator is considered a visual technology tool, I realize that I did learn a lot from it! I was always seeing what graphs looked like if I changed the equation around. It was definitely an important tool for me, and I believe it is wonderful for all students, too.Stephanie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890694858960601026noreply@blogger.com
