*** 9801206 Jackiw This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project from Key Curriculum Press, Inc. will leverage recent understanding of Dynamic Geometry software to an emerging new category of classroom technology--handheld computers--that will greatly lower barriers to the financial, physical, and intellectual accessibility of technology across the 6-12 mathematics curriculum. The starting point for the project is The Geometer's Sketchpad (Trademark), one of the most highly regarded and commercially successful software systems presently available for math education. Reinventing Dynamic Geometry for handheld platforms will dramatically change the shape of student interactions with technology, moving these interactions away from isolated moments of technocentric computer activities conducted in a computer lab and toward a deeply-integrated learning process, wherein technology supplements and extends student learning in routine practice both inside and outside the classroom. These new contexts for technology-assisted learning in turn place new requirements upon-and create new opportunities for-educational software design. The proposed combination of an innovative hardware/software device with classroom curriculum and professional development materials to support its use will fundamentally change how teachers and students learn and do mathematics. The commercial success of The Geometer's Sketchpad development materials provide another proven avenue of commercial sustainability for the eventual products of the proposed research. demonstrates the commercial potential of Handheld Geometer's Sketchpad. The new device will have even more utility for the geometry classroom than the current incarnation of The Geometer's Sketchpad; and, if the research is successful, it will have ready application throughout the 6-12 mathematics curriculum. The enthusiastic response of teachers, students, and researchers to prototypes of software and curriculum produced during Phase I indicates that the re will be high level of teacher support. Curriculum and professional development materials provide another important avenue of commercial sustainability for the eventual products of the proposed research. ***

*** 9801206 Jackiw这个小企业创新研究第二阶段项目，来自Key Curriculum Press，Inc。将利用最近对动态几何软件的理解，以新兴的课堂技术类别-手持计算机-这将大大降低6-12数学课程中技术的财务，物理和智力障碍。 该项目的起点是几何画板（商标），其中一个最高度重视和商业上成功的软件系统，目前可用于数学教育。 为手持平台重塑动态几何将极大地改变学生与技术互动的形式，将这些互动从计算机实验室中进行的以技术为中心的计算机活动的孤立时刻转移到深度集成的学习过程中，其中技术补充和扩展了学生在课堂内外的常规实践中的学习。 这些技术辅助学习的新环境反过来又对教育软件设计提出了新的要求，并创造了新的机会。 建议将创新的硬件/软件设备与课堂课程和专业发展材料相结合，以支持其使用，这将从根本上改变教师和学生学习和做数学的方式。 The Geometer's Sketchpad开发材料的商业成功为拟议研究的最终产品提供了另一条经过验证的商业可持续性途径。展示了Handheld Geometer's Sketchpad的商业潜力。 新的设备将有更多的实用性几何教室比目前的化身几何画板;而且，如果研究是成功的，它将有现成的应用程序在整个6-12数学课程。 教师、学生和研究人员对第一阶段软件和课程原型的热烈反应表明，这将是教师的高水平支持。 课程和专业发展材料为拟议研究的最终产品提供了商业可持续性的另一个重要途径。 ***
