One thing about using a Smart Board to teach math is that I am becoming more comfortable now with technology, and building a more open-minded attitude towards learning how to use new and unfamiliar technology. I see how motivating technology can be for some learners, and am eager to arm myself with the tools that can help these struggling students succeed and grow confident in themselves as learners.
I recently became the lucky recipient of an iPad, and I have been thinking about how to use this particular tool as a form of remedial support for some learners in my math classroom. As a first step, I started to research "math apps" -- wow, is there ever a lot out there!!! Here is a review of three apps I decided to download.
For anyone looking into iPad apps, may I reccommend Fred Ventura from Ventura Educational Systems. Lovely fellow, and very willing to share expertise. You can get a free download code (one per school) for one of their apps by visiting the Ventura website here.
What a whole new world this project has opened up to me!!!
