Technology-Infused Math Instruction: Teaching Outside the Box provides guidance in leveraging five essential research-based pedagogies to support effective K-12 math learning with infused technology: daily routines, open-ended tasks, project-based learning, problem-based learning, and math centers. Using technology as a tool for teaching and learning mathematics has the power to support students in making meaningful connections through multiple representations, real-life applications, and opportunities to express and demonstrate what they know and how they know it.
“I see the future of education technology as being a blend of self-directed learning and maker-space labs that have students working collaboratively and problem-solving within a global community,” she says, “but this will hinge upon teacher preparation and comfort with using it in the classroom.”

Increasing Productivity and Efficiency in Online Teaching
Description:
Distance learning has become very popular in recent years, making evident some of the problems inherent to online classes as they are today. High attrition rates, driven in part by student isolation and low satisfaction, have plagued online courses. For an online class to succeed, it must be built upon engaging media and meaningful interaction.
​
Increasing Productivity and Efficiency in Online Teaching provides a reference for educators in virtual classrooms and enumerates strategies to foster instructor engagement and support. Because co-construction of information, opposed to rote memorization of disseminated facts, engages students and develops critical thinking skills, online education must shift to reflect this. Drawing from learning theory, this publication focuses on the ways educators can shape their online classes to best suit their students and leave them with knowledge and course satisfaction. This book is recommended for researchers, developers, students of education, administrators, and online educators in all subject areas.
