Using Technology to improve math scores

Research has shown that technology can improve the math scores of current middle school students. Technology leads students to use higher order thinking skills leading to better comprehension. Technology also allows teachers to better instruct, track, and retake important content to students. It is important that teachers push for as much technology in there classroom as their administrators can provide. The article states that the more resources you can provide students the higher their achievement will be. With the increase of different varieties of technology it is important that teachers receive training in order to maintain and increase their knowledge. By using the most current technology we can capture student attention increasing our chance of retention.

I think that you are very right about providing the proper training for teachers. Without training the best technology can be useless and not get the desired results. Proper training however can give teachers the understanding of how the technology can help them rather than feeling like it is just one more thing to do.
