Designing resources for teacher education with technologies: EdUmatics Project.
Résumé
Using ICT such as spread sheets, geometry packages or computer algebra when learning and teaching mathematics is recommended or compulsory in the curricula of many European countries by good reasons. Technology offers the potentiality to enhance the learning of mathematics (Zbiek, 2007). But to develop this potentiality it is important to support teachers to come along with this challenge. This was the aim of the EU project EdUmatics (European development for the use of mathematics technology in classrooms). In the frame of this project researchers and teachers of ten countries worked together and developed systematically and theory-based an internet platform for teachers of mathematics in secondary schools and their teacher trainers with material for classrooms and professional development.
