College teachers attending an NSF-sponsored summer workshop (1974) produced a series of films showing computer displays of mathematical problems and phenomena. These instructional materials are organized into four units: (1) functions and graphs; (2) analysis; (3) probability, statistics, and simulation; and (4) mathematical models. They are keyed…

This book for future mathematics teachers emphasizes technology as a teaching tool; development of teachers who are self-motivated, lifelong learners; and pedagogical features that engage and motivate students. It includes examples and activities to enhance learning. Part 1, "General Fundamentals," includes (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Learning,…

The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
