Main Activities:

Organizing and realization of 6 projects of the Austrian Ministry for Education focussed on the use of technology in math education under special consideration of CAS

Recruiting test classes and supplying them with software or handheld devices and respective teaching materials

Developing teaching and testing materials for various products together with instructions how to use the soft- and hardware

Establishing a website – which has gained world wide reputation – which offers material and results for all interested people (including the official reports of activities of all projects). Among others online courses for DERIVE, TI-handheld and MAXIMA can be downloaded

All materials can be downloaded free of charge

Organizing and supporting international conferences. Financial supporting ACDCA members for participating at international conferences and meetings

Cooperation with software developers starting with Albert Rich and David Stoutemyer (DERIVE), followed by

cooperation with Texas Instruments (TI-92, V200, TI-Nspire, CBL-CBR), with mathe-online, GeoGebra and others with a special focus on didactical needs of the said products

Hosting T3 (Teachers Teaching with Technology) for several years and organizing numerous in- and pre service courses for teachers on behalf of T3 and on own responsibility

Establishing a cooperation with GeoGebra and mathe-online for developing concepts to a “Media Manifold in Math Education“

First outcomes • Until 2006 – 14 sequences of learning

objects (=Lernpfad)

Evaluation results • 1500 Austrian students

– Interactive learning objects are helpful for understanding

• 89 Austrian Teachers– Self-responsible learning is very well

supported by the evaluated sequences of learning objects
