| Michal Tabach Integrating technology into mathematics education is a challenge I have been facing for three decades – first as a mathematics teacher and designer of curriculum resources, and currently as a researcher. As a young secondary school teacher, I regularly taught algebra and geometry with open digital tools. In parallel, I worked towards developing tasks and resources for teaching and learning in digital environments. Naturally, as I became more involved in research, I focused on learning mathematics in an open digital tools environment. However, it soon became clear that teachers were key to successful digital integration. This led me to my current focus, teacher education. I am now leading projects aimed at helping practicing teachers integrate technology into their practice, taking into consideration their pedagogical-mathematical needs. I have been a lecturer and researcher at Tel-Aviv University for 13 years. | Talli Nachlieli is a mathematics educator and researcher at Levinsky College of Education. Her research interests include teacher preparation and education, and mathematics classroom discourse. Head of PRAQTAL project: PRActices for Quality Teaching in mathematics and physics. |
