Teachers Teaching with Technology

Teachers Teaching with Technology (T³ or T3 for short) is a worldwide network of teacher training organizations and teachers for the improvement and support of mathematical and scientific teaching through the use of digital media, in particular graphic calculators , computer algebra pocket computers and comparable PC-based systems.

Teachers Teaching with Technology was founded in 1986 in the USA by mathematics professors Bert Waits and Frank Demana at Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio. The network Teachers Teaching with Technology offers teacher training courses as the most important way of disseminating ideas to make math and science lessons more interesting for students through the use of new media .

Around 1996 the idea of Teachers Teaching with Technology was brought from the USA to Europe. In Germany the project is carried out by the Institute for Didactics of Mathematics - Working Group Barzel of the University of Duisburg-Essen , in Austria by T³ Austria, coordinated by Mag. Gertrud Aumayr, in Switzerland by T³ Switzerland, Hans Kammer.

In addition to teacher training, training and teaching materials are being developed in the project. In addition, the project initiates research projects in collaboration with various universities on the use of digital media in mathematics lessons.

In addition to mathematics lessons, the use of digital media in the natural sciences is dealt with in separate working groups. There are also working groups that focus on B. deal with questions of diagnosis or assessment in math class.
