What model of learning and teaching does the technology assume?
The Jasper technology deals with the problem solving aspect of mathematics. Students have to take the many facts they are given and sort out the unimportant information. They then have to decide how to use the data that is left. In order to make sense of the Jasper data, students may have to do computations, but the main focus of Jasper is problem solving. This keeps students from learning in isolation. Once they learn how to compute a certain computation, they are expected to use it in a practical way. Students may solve Jasper problems without even realizing that they are using their math skills. What is the role of this technology in the classroom? In the classroom, Jasper allows students to work in groups to solve problems. It is important that students work together since several people are needed to correctly recall information from the Jasper videos. First, the entire class watches the video as a whole. Then the students would into groups and collectively solve the problem. Sinc
