eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) has forged alliances with key national organizations representing the core academic subjects, including Social Studies, English, Math, Science, Geography, World Languages and the Arts. These collaborations have resulted in the development of 21st Century Skills Maps that illustrate the essential intersection between core subjects and 21st Century Skills. The Partnership advocates for the integration of 21st Century Skills into K-12 education so that students can advance their learning in core academic subjects. Developed through a year-long collaborative process, this map reflects the collective effort of Mathematics professors, teachers and thought leaders, and illustrates the integration of Mathematics and 21st Century Skills. It will provide educators, administrators and policymakers with concrete examples of how 21st Century Skills can be integrated into… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: This article will discuss two teacher training functions: One function is to give the teacher candidates practice in evaluating currently available mathematics websites used in grades K-8 for mathematics instruction. The second function is the evaluation of data by teaching candidates of 13 commonly used math sites by middle and elementary teachers. Research and data collection are combined with the authentic activity of evaluating mathematics websites using critical review and evaluation tools. The usage of technology to assist in the education process was been increasing with the advent of more complicated technologies and relevant software (e.g., mathematics based websites). Creating new ideas on how to potentially aid learning is important, but so is the evaluation of such sites and programs in order to determine that they (e.g.,… Continue Reading →
