Layton, Rebecca D.; Cady, Jo Ann; Layton, Christopher A. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2017
Recent recommendations for the teaching of mathematics place an emphasis on the Common Core's Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) (CCSSI 2010). The SMPs emphasize constructing viable arguments, critiquing the ideas of others, reasoning abstractly and quantitatively, and using computational procedures. These skills, including the use of…

Calle-Martínez, Cristina; Yanes, Lourdes Pomposo; Pareja-Lora, Antonio – Research-publishing.net, 2016
Little by little, (or, simply, MALL) is taking force in the field of education, as it supports language blended learning and language learning ubiquity. The study presented here belongs in the Social Ontology-based Cognitively Augmented Language Learning Mobile Environment (SO-CALL-ME) research project, whose final aim is to design and create…

Sias, Christina; Wilson- Lopez, Amy; Mejia, Joel – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2016
Many youth do not pursue engineering because they do not see how it connects to their lives and interests. Concerned about this problem, the National Research Council (2012) suggested ways that teachers can make engineering more relevant and accessible to youth who have not traditionally pursued careers in this field. According to the National…
