Content Area Resource: Math


Concerns:


1. Students may collect knowledge from the website that is not what has been taught in class.
2. Links could cause students to rely on technology to solve their problems.
3. Using a computer could cause students to skip steps in solving the problem and they may come up with shortcuts to find a solution.


Suggestions:


1. I suggest using these websites to help reinforce prior knowledge, not to try to learn a new subject.
2. Links can be helpful in expanded student knowledge and giving them new ideas.
3. Always look for updated websites so you have up to date knowledge.
