Technological Skills and Experience
I believe technology is an important aspect in mathematics education.
Right now, many teachers are expressing concerns about the place of AI in the classroom. I address this directly with my students: Apps like Solvely, ChatGPT, and Photomath can be powerful tools for education, but they can also be used to cheat. I encourage my students to use these tools (as well as tools such the Desmos calculator and WolframAlpha) as aids when they're struggling or want to check their work, not as replacements for learning or doing the work themselves.
Many of my formative exercises are on DeltaMath, and assignments are based on successful completion of an assigned number of problems. I don't punish students who take longer and make mistakes on the way.
As for myself, I am very comfortable around computers. I have programmed in VBA, Visual Basic, PHP, Python, SPSS, SAS, XML, HTML, and other languages.
As an educator, I have created original dynamic assessment questions using ExamView from Pearson/SAVVAS.
I have also created questions for Calculus and Algebra II in Formative using LaTeX:
I have created demonstrations and Custom Activities using Desmos.
As a presenter, I am comfortable with both PowerPoint and Google Slides. I store my lecture notes in OneNote, including my handwritten comments, and make these available to students; many students follow along on their laptops during class.
I have also used GeoGebra and Mathematica, as well as many other software packages.
I have also attended two summer training sessions for computer programming in the classroom, and was instrumental to the creation of computer programming classes in my current district.
