We should talk more about that soon.<br /><br />As far as the technology component, I have a lot of thoughts...<br />1. For many of the things that students are using the iPad for (e.g., note-taking), I don't see it as being so different from using a notebook and a pencil. I worry about students becoming too reliant on paper and pencils. :-)<br />2. I think the technology fears really depend on how the iPads are being used. If students are just playing games and looking up answers, then that's a problem. But if they're still engaged in the rigorous work of mathematics, then I don't see any problem.<br />3. I'm not sure if there's a downside to being reliant on technology as long as we're also teaching students problem solving skills that can be generalized beyond math. Technology is going to be a major part of their world, and I want them to be as flexible and fluid with it as possible. <br /><br />My 2 cents...thanks for your comment!<br />AlisonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05662652034560852957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205400254653161775.post-21570284914631124422013-06-07T10:45:14.511-04:002013-06-07T10:45:14.511-04:00Thanks, Kim!

I took the guided math workshop at COPL and this summer and I'm definitely going in the same direction as you are. I still have lots to plan out but I'm glad to know I won't be the only one using this approach! I would love to follow in your steps of less paper usage however a part of me fears students becoming too reliant on technology...what are your thoughts on that? I'm so lucky to be able to work with you!! :) (cheesy I know)Celiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059789194727306285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205400254653161775.post-11848443446650615322013-05-30T19:02:32.967-04:002013-05-30T19:02:32.967-04:00I am so excited to find your blog.
