ICT in Mathematics Education
Course Title: ICT in Mathematics Education Nature of the Course: Practical
Semester: Fourth Credit hours: 3
Course No.: Math Ed 547 Teaching hours: 80
1. Course Description
This course is designed to provide wider knowledge and skills for the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in mathematics education. It comprises a range of skills varies from basic literacy to handling mathematical software, explicitly Latex, GeoGebra and Mathematics while teaching various courses of mathematics at tertiary and graduate levels. The course is divided into five major units. It starts with basic digital literacy and then introduces cloud storage applications (apps). Then the course introduces theoretical and practical understanding of latex interface. Finally the course focuses to develop skills on software integrated teaching modules to edify mathematical concepts using GeoGebra and Mathematica.
2. The General Objectives
The general objectives of the course are as follows:
· To apply and work with basic digital literacy skills.
· To utilize web technology as communication tools
· To produce mathematical text in Latex environment
· To prepare instructional methods using GeoGebra tools
· To demonstrate instructional methods using Mathematica tools
