Abstract

In this talk, I will give an overview of the different kinds of software that are used in mathematics classes. Teachers and lecturers technology use can be categorized as the use of technology outside the classroom (to improve the effectiveness and professionalism) and inside the classroom to enhance the conceptual development of their students. Both uses generate new opportunities, but if used incorrectly, can impede students’ conceptual development. I will therefore reflect on the importance and limitations of technology use. Lastly I will focus on the question: Why do teachers and lecturers, in general, not use technology in their classrooms?
