Mathematics with Technology

This podcast was put together by Judy Chandler. The topic of the podcast Mathematics with Technology. She discusses some views on ho teachers feel about adding technology in our schools today. Some teachers think it takes to much time, other believe it's too much work to learn. Technology influences what is taught and enhances learning. Some technological advances made in the math department help children with keeping their attention and can be offered immediate feedback and also helps use different examples so that they have more practice.

In the aforementioned I named many ways technology can be used in the Mathematics field, it motivates, it keeps the attention, it helps children see where their mistakes are. On the other hand podcasts like these can be helpful for not only motivating student but also motivating teachers. I believe the podcast I just listened to was recorded in hope of adults listening to it and learning something from it, not just for kids.
