Desmos, Geometers Sketchpad and GeoGebra are all web-based interactive websites that my students can utilize to enhance their learning of proofs, polygons and mathematics overall. There are not enough Chromebook carts for teachers in my school, so I would like to have a few in my classroom to incorporate in group-tasks.
Pencil and paper are not what supplies our students need to become twenty-first-century learners.
Chromebooks will allow my students to research, create products and investigate the theorems and postulates traditionally memorized in geometry curriculum. Because they will have the opportunity to grapple with these concepts in new ways, they will have a better appreciation for their meaning.
Previously, my students have been disengaged in routine classroom tasks. Students will refuse to participate or only complete the first 10 minutes worth if they lose interest in the skill-drill. Worksheets and paper activities have lost their zeal. As twenty-first century learners, they are extremely interested in utilizing the Internet to explore connections of geometry to their worlds.
With the availability of a few Chromebooks, I can create station activities where students have an opportunity to re-engage with the material using dynamic geometry software, research connections to their lives or play interactive application games.
