Lagrange, Jean-Baptiste; Erdogan, Emel Ozdemir – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
We examine teachers' classroom activities with the spreadsheet, focusing especially on episodes marked by improvisation and uncertainty. The framework is based on Saxe's cultural approach to cognitive development. The study considers two teachers, one positively disposed towards classroom use of technology, and the other not, both of them…

Klein, Raymond J.; Hamilton, Ilene – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Describes a method of effectively introducing the concept of radian measure that uses Cabri Geometry II software to construct a circle of arbitrary radius and to measure that radius. The goal is to determine how many of these radii fit around a circle. (DDR)

Desilets, Brendan J. – Journal of Teaching Writing, 1986
Describes use of the programing language "Logo" and the Apple II computer to teach high school students how to write extended definitions. By defining procedures in Logo for drawing simple geometric patterns, students learn that good definition requires precision, rewriting and, in complex tasks, recursion, an aspect of extended…

Francek, Mark A. – Journal of Geography, 1999
Presents suggestions for creating successful web-based activities in the geography classroom: (1) write clear, simple instructions; (2) consider how and when students will conduct the exercise; (3) have a backup plan; (4) expect late assignments; and (5) counter distractions. Provides a table with potential activities for physical geography and an…
