"Mathematical with Technology" Pod Casts

"Mathematical with Technology" pod casts created by Judy Chandler, a technology integration specialist, math teacher, and tutor for the the Maine Learning Technology Initiative, introduced many aspects of mathematical tips and ideas to assist students with their learning process and studies. Technology is booming in the classroom today, teachers just need to know how to include math technology into their lesson plans. These pod casts could be easily used as a tutoring tool. These pod casts could save parents a lot of money and time by allowing their children to utilize this necessity. I can imagine how some children's grades could have been even higher in math if this type of technology was available to them.One of Judy Chandler mathematical pod cast described how she intended to provide student’s with several integrated and advanced learning tools to challenge their math abilities and help them achieve higher academics. This new technology is used like an assistant to the teachers. Some teachers do not like this idea because they are not computer savvy. These pod casts seemed very useful in word problems with you must analyze and do some thinking. From my experiences and witnessing others, math word problems or any word problems in any subject are generally hard to interrupt and understand. Mathematics is the one subject no matter what a child wants to be when they grow up; math will always be used on a daily basis. It is important they children learn this subject well and be comfortable with it. Mathematical pod casts will provide children with that much needed confidence and extra attention that they may be missing.

I found these pod casts very interesting. I would have never thought that a mathematical pod cast would be so beneficial to a student’s curriculum. I also would have never thought that a mathematical resourceful pod cast was possible or feasible to learning the area of math. This method would not be a tool I would choose to use for myself seeing how am a visual learner, especially at math, I would rather learn with a visual pod cast not audio only.
