The document discusses the use of technology in education. It notes that technology provides more efficient ways to access information compared to older methods and should be used to benefit students' learning. While the latest tools are not necessary, teachers should use technologies that help students learn in an easier way and motivate them. The document also outlines some advantages and disadvantages of using technology in math education, including how it can provide learning resources but also challenges for teachers and students in keeping up with changing technologies.
2. There is a vast change of technology from the old times when we used different
kinds of big machines to communicate to people all over the world and do things that
entails much longer time to accomplish the work while nowadays, we have all the
gadgets and technologies such as computers with just one click, we will get all the
information that we need. Using technology in our everyday lives is very convenient
and efficient because we don't have to go to the library to search a particular book
which takes time. But we should employ technology in a good way for the benefit of
oneself and of the others. We must not use it to violate the rights of other people but
apply it to make our lives easier and more comfortable.
Teaching with technology in today's curriculum don’t need to utilize the latest tools,
it's about knowing what are the best tools to successfully conduct a discussion to your
students that makes them learn in easier way and motivates them to learn fast.

Technology in education is just an additional opportunity to achieve education, if you
have not enough time or opportunities to do it in another way.
5. Why use
technology?
Interactivity
Content delivery/revision
Managing learning and resources
Collaboration
Communication
Variety of teaching and learning preferences
Formative and summative assessment

6. Integrating Internet-based
Technology into Teaching/Learning
Reasons for using technology in education:
provides opportunities for more learner-centered
instruction;
permits instruction to be contextualized;
allows students to explore, make mistakes, and
learn from their errors;
leads to more active and interactive modes of
instruction; and
results naturally in greater collaboration,
cooperation, and small group work
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 6
7. How Technology Can Affect Some
Teachers?
Teachers may lack confidence when using
computers or programs they have no experience
with.
Teachers can build on their skill and teaching
repertoire with staff development and technology
training.
Teachers will gain confidence and effectiveness in
instruction with increased computer experience.

9. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN MATH
EDUCATION
Technology can allow for a shift to a paperless classroom, which can
make the teacher's job more efficient and organized. With a paperless
format for grading and tracking assignments, teachers transport less
student work to and from home and can access grades from multiple
locations.
Technology, specifically the Internet, gives students instant access to
research databases from a variety of sources, including news sources,
university databases and instructional videos. Beginning at the
youngest levels of education, students can take a more active role in
their own learning using technology. Games can provide children with
practice in learning shapes, the alphabet and math skills, for example.
Calculators, computer software tools, and other technologies assist in
the collection, recording, organization, and analysis of data. They also
enhance computational power and provide convenient, accurate, and
dynamic drawing, graphing, and computational tools. With such
devices, students can extend the range and quality of their
mathematical investigations and encounter mathematical ideas in more
realistic settings.

10. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN
MATH EDUCATION
One disadvantage for teachers at all levels of education is trying to
keep up with changing technologies and learning how to use both
hardware and software for educational purposes. Additionally, teachers
must learn how to ensure that students are learning skills rather than
simply learning how to efficiently use technology. For example, using a
graphing calculator in a geometry class may make it easier for students
to find angle measures without understanding properties of a triangle.
Teachers can also find the amount of student communication via email
overwhelming if they have increased numbers of students.
Discrepancies in computer skills may make assignments more difficult
to complete for some students. Computer malfunctions can cause them
to lose assignments or materials. In the case of online courses taken
from home, varying Internet speeds and devices available to students at
home may cause some students difficulty. Additionally, acquiring
information in an online course relies largely on student motivation and
self-monitoring, which may be difficult for some students.
Other disadvantages include the danger of time spent off task
distracted by social media and websites, or lack of motivation to
complete tasks in a timely manner.

11. Technology influences
Teaching
Using technology to enhance teaching and
learning practices in the classroom is
becoming common place. Students
constantly interact with technologies such
as ipods, mobile phones, the internet and
social networking tools outside the
classroom and have an expectation that
these technologies will also support their
learning in the classroom.

:
1.Be Simple or
simplify difficult
material
2. Use it as a
supplement, NOT
the entire
presentation
3. Focus on
Learning, NOT
Technology

BASIC RULES of USEAGE
Humans see graphics first, then text
Keep information in a logical flow
6 points or Less per slide/page
Use large type Consistently – Minimum

15. Technology Integration
The goal of technology integration is
to use technology seamlessly in
the classroom so that the
technology itself is invisible in
support of learning a standards
based curriculum.
Employing technology provides a
variety of new ways to learn, and
in the process, fosters
independent thinking, problem
solving, and collaborative
learning.

17. Integrating Internet-based
Technology into Teaching/Learning
Adult Learner Success Indicators:
increased number of learners incorporating use of
education technology as a regular part of their learning
and parenting applications;
increased satisfaction level of learners with the level of
support for using education technology;
increased opportunities for children and spouses of all
adult learners to gain experience with computer
technologies and develop technological skills;
