In this session series, participants investigate a variety of tools that can be used to support the math processes in a BYOD environment. BYOD environments pose challenges in choosing tools that work on all or many types of devices for little or no cost. This session is a collaboration centered around high-yield digital tools for BYOD. Please take a moment to explore Jaclyn’s Math BYOD wiki.
Digital tools and concepts that may be addressed include:
Session 3: Problem Solving, Connecting, Representing – This last session will explore NearPod, Dan Meyer Problems, Educreations, Google Drive with equation editor and QuickFit and g(math) add-ons, 3D design, printing and thinking.
