Evolving technological developments have prompted mathematical researchers, educators, as well as practitioners of mathematics to use experimental approaches in their respective investigations. With new technology, many exciting and attractive opportunities have been and will be created for those students who enjoy mathematics and technology. The eJMT strives for publishing quality papers to convey to the readers that Mathematics and its applicable fields can be made to be Fun, Accessible, Challenging and Theoretical (FACT). Also, it will provide readers global perspectives of how mathematics curriculum is changing from country to country when new technological tools become available. It is the hope that the eJMT can foster a culture that adequate training of the innovative use of Technology is implemented in teachersÆ training program.
The eJMT, an international refereed journal, will address technology-based issues in all Mathematical Sciences. Going Mobile: Debating and Using Cellphones in School.

This article discusses how to utilize your SMART Board more effectively by identifying some of the obstacles of using a SMART Board once you get it into your classroom. The stories about using it to hang... read more I’ve spent years reviewing and sharing interactive online resources that work great on a SMART Board. To be honest, I’m very picky on what resources I share and I require all the sites I share to have certain minimum standards. One site that meets and exceeds all my standards is Textivate.com. I watched an amazing video from Space.com that showed images of what’s called the Extreme Deep Field (EDF).
It’s finally here! As the school year comes to an end, I want to say thank you to all the teachers who work so hard every single day (and night) to help develop and nurture the children in their care. Well, that’s a silly title to a blog post. Okay, I'm hooked. High School Smartboard Lesson. High School Math Teachers. SMART Boards Why are they so easy to use? Math Forum - Technology in Math Education. TI announces the TI-Nspire CX, it's first color-display, handheld graphing calculator. I don't normally post about things that aren't free, but not everything in life is free and Graphing Calculators are widely used in school for a variety of courses and uses. TI announces the TI-Nspire CX, TI's first color-display, handheld graphing calculator. TI is also releasing a host of new tools and software applications to go with the TI-Nspire CX -- they are all a part of TI's "Nspired Learning Solutions" for interactive math and science classrooms.
The TI-Nspire CX uses color and images to help students to differentiate between data, visualize the problems, understand real-world applications, etc. The new TI-Nspire CX handheld -- with TI-Nspire Software Version 3.0, color images, photographs, animations and rotating 3-D graphing -- draws students’ attention to key concepts and brings real-world learning into math and science classrooms. I love the idea of the color screen. Check out some features and resources. TI-Nspire CX Handheld Features: Resources: Multimedia Presentations. Issues in Math.
