Additional Questions:

So that I can understand all the thoughts in you post, please clarify these statements:

1) “I suppose that the high appropriate request would be seeking an excellent quality algebra program in support STEM through the correlation to important application and technology integration.“

• What do you mean by the words in yellow?
• What kind(s) of tech integration do you have in mind (let’s say for algebra)?

2) “… We are aware of the fact that calculation is a crucial part of cultural heritage …”

• Is it important for students to know which cultures invented which math concepts? 
• What kinds of professional development would you seek to enrich your math understanding and teaching?
• How does this relate to the forum topic of technology?

3) “… the collaboration will also be a practical aspect in understanding and integrating technology in the mathematics or science curriculum. Failing to support colleagues in the development of rigorous mathematics or science identity, a significant agency aspect, and a high mathematics of understanding, then our counterparts will have failed, taken away the future opportunities, and failed in building the mathematical basis essential for the STEM results...”

• How does this relate to the forum topic of technology?
• What would you like to see happening with teachers collaborating on integrating technology into math instruction? What would be good tech for math teachers to use? What would be good tech for their students to use?

Assignment:

 Explain new ways you will integrate technology into your math/science curriculum based upon this week’s readings and STEM/STEAM directions and trends in the field.
