Rethinking Technology Integration in Mathematics Education

The development of technology is proliferating recently and so does the implementation of technology in a mathematics classroom. Numerous research had been conducted regarding the use of technology in mathematics education. Many educators have a positive attitude toward technology integration, but the others remain in other learning innovations. In the other hand, there are also different results among researchers in implementing technology in the classroom. The central question in this paper is: Is technology an appropriate strategy in mathematics classroom? A review of research and literature that are considerate to be relevant in this topic is provided. As a conclusion, it is important for the teacher, especially, to pay careful attention to decide which strategy will work in order to foster mathematical skill.
