Teaching Mathematics With Technology

IT for Change, in association with the Commonwealth of Learning, is offering a 4-week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on 

Teaching Mathematics with Technology.

This course aims to build the capacity of teachers in using Geogebra,
a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) application, to create resources for teaching various Mathematical concepts. Mathematics teachers of grades 6-10, teacher-educators in this subject domain, as well as teachers of related technical subjects will find this course useful.
Course begins May 2nd, 2022

What is this course about?
Building students' mathematical competencies is critical in the digital society, with renewed emphasis on learner skills in reasoning, computing, mathematical thinking, and problem-solving. The use of ICT in Mathematics teaching has taken on a new urgency due to the global pandemic, where restrictions on physical contact have seen many schools move towards different methods of online education. To ensure equitable access and meaningful learning, it is critical for teachers to increase their array of teaching-learning tools.

Several digital tools and applications are now available to support educators towards this end, ranging from graphic software for geometry learning to simulations for scenario building and visual programming environments. 
If integrated with effective pedagogy, these resources can improve learning outcomes. Geogebra is one such FOSS tool that is versatile and easily accessible.
