The Modern Learner is connected, socially-driven, and curious. With increasing accessibility of technology in classrooms through one-to-one or BYOD models, and the popularity of GSuite tools, educators need to SHIFT how they teach and students learn. But how does that translate into the Math classroom? How can we ensure that students are engaged in deep learning of problem solving strategies and Mathematical thinking?
In this session, we will showcase how technology has shifted mathematical learning in Modern Classrooms, and how our diverse Modern Learners can solve problems collaboratively, communicate their thinking, and receive feedback. Bringing together a diverse perspective of math educators, participants will gain an understanding of current trends and research in mathematics, hear innovative ideas to enhance math learning and glean tips and tricks for leveraging technology when teaching mathematics.
Pedagogy Highlights:
• SAMR Model (Dr. Ruben Puentedura) and consideration of technology integration in the Math Classroom
• Technology integration in a 3-Part Math Lesson (John Van de Walle)
• Communication through the Mathematics classroom (Gallery walk, Math Congress, Bansho)
• Student Collaboration in problem solving for student success
• Descriptive feedback through the use of technology
• Differentiated instruction and assessment to reach every student using technology
Defining our Modern Math Learner (10 min)
• Panelists will share their perspectives, but we will also draw upon the insights of participants using a data collection application.
Our Shifting Landscape (15 min)
• Performing a live SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, our panelists will share a picture of our current landscape in mathematics. The audience will have an opportunity to chime in with their ideas and thinking as we set the stage for how we might teach Mathematics in our current context.
Shifting our Practice and Learning (25 min)
• Panelists will share strategies, practices and ideas that we should consider when teaching math in our current context.
• Panelists will demonstrate tools, resources and practices that will bring your math teaching and learning to new levels.
• Participants will learn about various mediums for developing their Professional Learning Network.
• We will highlight Math Education blogs to follow, Twitterchats, hashtags, and other math educators you can glean from who are active on social media.
Closing, Reflection & Evaluation (10 min.)
• We will address additional questions from the audience and provide an opportunity for the audience to share their ideas and experiences.
