e-Learning for Educators - Using Real Data in the Math Classroom
This course is offered as a part of the e-Learning for Educators project, a partnership between LEARN NC, The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at North Carolina State University College of Education, UNC-TV, DPI, and the North Carolina Virtual Public School. This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Education under Grant No. U286A050018.
This course is part of LEARN NC's catalog of online courses for teachers. Please see the current offerings at the bottom of this page for information about when it may next be taught.
Technology tools and web-based materials enable math educators to emphasize problem solving and make connections between mathematics, other disciplines and the real world. This workshop will enable middle and high school math teachers the opportunity to explore a range of web-based resources and exemplary projects which utilize technology to meet local and national standards that emphasize these goals.
Participants will learn how to find sources of real data on the web and explore technology tools that help students model, analyze, visualize and make sense of these data. Participants will complete the workshop with a collection of resources and beginning project ideas that serve their curricular goals.
Audience
This course is appropriate for math teachers in middle school and high school classrooms.
Time commitment
