A Mathematics Computer Laboratory for the Twenty-First Century

格林菲尔德社区学院正在创建一个实验室/教室与国家的最先进的软件和硬件的教师演示和第二个位置，教师可以将计算机技术纳入数学课程，这也是在其他时间为学生在课堂上的数学项目工作。 该项目是建立在以前的成功实施改革为导向的，技术集成的微积分课程。 该项目允许教师将情境问题融入课程中，作为学生概念发展的核心部分，单独或分组解决。 因此，计算机工作成为微积分课程的组成部分，而不是外围部分。 进一步的计划包括将计算机技术融入微积分预科和大学代数，最终融入统计学课程。 目前正在通过课堂行动研究和课堂评估技术对项目成果进行评估，并通过学院网站进行传播。 专业介绍和电话会议也在计划之中。

Greenfield Community College is creating a laboratory/classroom with state-of-the-art software and hardware for teacher demonstrations and a second location where faculty can incorporate computer technology into mathematics classes which is also available at other times for students to work on mathematics projects out of class. This project is building on previous successes in implementing a reform-oriented, technology-integrated calculus curriculum. This project allows faculty to integrate into the curriculum contextual problems to be solved individually or in groups as a central part of the students' conceptual development. Computer work is thus becoming integral, rather than peripheral, to calculus classes. Further plans include integrating computer technology into precalculus and college algebra and ultimately statistics courses. Evaluation of project outcomes is being assessed through classroom action research and classroom assessment techniques and disseminated through the college website. Professional presentations and a teleconference are also being planned.
