  This quarter the EdTech Center is working with the Math Dept to integrate technology in the mathematical education that we provide for the university. This event in the EdTech Center provides an opportunity for a discussion of instructional goals and student needs, and the new media tools available in the Edtech Center that can help meet them in various ways. Examples of using technology and multimedia for teaching math (at other institutions and at NU) will also be presented, as well as a discussion of what has worked and what problems have been encountered.
