White, James E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Differences in computer languages are noted. Symbol-based languages offer some distinct advantages over number-based languages, both in the form and the content of the student's interaction with the computer. Some of these advantages are explored and their applications to teaching mathematics described. (MNS)

Beyond the Evident Content Goals Part I. Tapping the Depth and Flow of the Educational Undercurrent.

Dugdale, Sharon; Kibbey, David – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The first in a series of three articles, successful instructional materials from a 15-year software development effort are analyzed and characterized with special attention given to educational experiences intended to shape students' perceptions of the fundamental nature, interconnectedness, and usefulness of mathematics. The software programs…

Lumb, Stephen; Monaghan, John; Mulligan, Steve – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Focuses on two teachers who had made no use of DERIVE with their classes but who agreed to make regular use of DERIVE with one of their classes over the course of one year. Presents teachers' accounts of what they did. Discusses time issues in using DERIVE, the use of materials, pressures on teachers that influence their use of DERIVE, and the…

Oberdan, Thomas – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2009
The article "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" in last Summer's "Atlantic Monthly," raised a number of provocative, and indeed worrisome, questions about computer usage and cognitive development. For instance, persons with considerable experience of reading for the sake of pleasure report that, after a couple of years using computers a great deal, they…

Sarmiento, Jorge – 1997
An understanding of past technological advancements can help educators understand the influence of new technologies in education. Inventions such as the abacus, logarithms, the slide rule, the calculating machine, computers, and electronic calculators have all found their place in mathematics education. While new technologies can be very useful,…

MacDonald, Lucy; Caverly, David C. – Journal of Developmental Education, 1999
Reviews the evolution of math software from the 1980s to the present. Discusses how current notions of learning styles have changed software applications and how critical thinking and problem solving have impacted software development. Addresses the overall effect of technology on math anxiety and explores what new technology tools are available…

Dugdale, Sharon; Spiro, Rand J. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The second in a series of three articles, some themes of an undercurrent of educational objectives that move beyond the evident content goals are outlined. The themes relate the computer software materials analyzed in Part I to the cognitive experiences that students should have in learning about subject matter. (MDH)

Blubaugh, William L. – 1986
National attention has been placed on the need for the improvement of education, and teachers must become aware of the capabilities of computers for improving classroom instruction, choose appropriate software, and have a sufficient number of computers to support the software. The quality of educational computing depends on the quality of software…
