This project is designed to provide prospective elementary and middle school teachers the opportunity to develop and utilize their own imagery and spatial sense. In particular, Towson University Mathematics Department is revising the way it teaches geometry to prospective elementary and middle school teachers by infusing computing technologies in their mathematics content courses. The objective of the project is to establish a computer classroom to be used in this innovative geometry course for prospective teachers. Sixteen desktop computers with appropriate geometry software will be installed in a classroom. These computers will also be connected to the Internet so that the existing electronic materials may be fully utilized, including web-based materials we are developing. Additional laptop computers will allow instructor demonstration and students' sharing of their ideas in regular classrooms. Data will be collected to identify how and how often computing technologies are utilized in the geometry course. Course activities generated by our instructors will be available to other instructors at Towson and other institutions.

本项目旨在为未来的中小学教师提供发展和利用自己的意象和空间感的机会。 特别是，陶森大学数学系正在修改它教几何的方式，通过注入计算技术在他们的数学内容课程未来的小学和中学教师。该项目的目标是为未来的教师建立一个计算机教室，用于这一创新的几何课程。 一间教室将安装十六台装有适当几何软件的台式计算机。这些计算机还将与因特网连接，以便充分利用现有的电子材料，包括我们正在编制的网上材料。额外的笔记本电脑将允许教师演示和学生分享他们的想法在正常的教室。 将收集数据，以确定如何以及如何经常计算技术在几何课程中使用。由我们的教师产生的课程活动将提供给陶森和其他机构的其他教师。
