Besides using the occasional powerpoint I do not incorporate much technology in my math classroom. Powerpoint allows for some nice graphics which are especially helpful for visually word problems. On a couple of occasions I have had students go to the library to work using Microsoft Excel to model linear and non-linear relationships between two variables. The challenge with using powerpoint is students knowing what they ought to copy down as notes. The challenge of going to the computer lab is making sure all students get through the assignment during the brief class period. My strengths with incorporating technology is my experience in creating Powerpoints and using Excel.
