Abstract

The time for teachers to use mobile devices is now. However, in order to ensure that yet another technological transition in the classroom is as effective as possible, there is an undeniable need for effective professional development. The models the authors propose in this chapter offer teachers experiences that require curriculum design and delivery, experience with mobile hardware and software, and opportunities to consider the pedagogical implications of integration for effective teaching and learning. The Math Snacks Summer Camp Model and the Math Snacks 3-Day Gradual Release Model offer experiences where teachers and students work together to learn challenging mathematics concepts using mobile devices, laptop computers, and hands-on activities. A description of these models, including benefits and limitations is discussed. An adaptation of each model for pre-service teachers and higher education faculty is also included.
