Document Content

This paper reports on a study of a group of 20 pre-service teachers enrolled in a first-semester mathematics teaching methods course. Course activities included participation in two separate field experiences in neighboring school districts. The methods class placed considerable emphasis on the use of advanced digital technologies in the teaching and learning of mathematics, with particularly extensive use of the TI-Nspire. The field experiences varied in the extent to which technology was used from virtually nil in some classrooms to full implementation in others
