Facilitated by Pam Buffington
This workshop is designed to introduce participants to a range of  
online applets, tools, and web-based resources that utilize content  
centered technology application to support mathematics teaching and  
learning. The primary focus will be on the use of high quality yet

mathematics at the middle and high school level. Additionally, the  
content will include the use of formative assessment and activities
