Welcome to today’s episode! Math (or maths!) is more than just numbers—it’s a part of everyday life, but how we connect with it is different for everyone. For some, it builds confidence, while for others, it can bring anxiety. Professor. Jo Boaler, a Stanford researcher and expert in math education, has a fresh perspective. In her book Math-Ish, she introduces the concept of math as a dynamic, real-world process, embracing diverse learning styles and approaches. Her research shows that when we celebrate these differences, we unlock our true potential in math. Please stick with us as we dive into this revolutionary view of learning!
Here is my first conversation with her:

The integration of technology in educational contexts presents significant challenges for both teachers and students. Selecting the most appropriate technological solution can be equally difficult. Familiarity often dictates our choices, as we tend to rely on tools we know and trust. Even the most advanced technologies will fail to achieve the desired outcomes if educators lack the time, skills, or resources required to use them effectively.
Get Involved: Help Shape the Future of Technology in Education!
We invite teachers to participate in an exciting research project designed to make selecting and integrating technology in the classroom simpler and more effective. By joining this initiative, you will learn how to use the LANES framework, a practical tool to guide your technology choices and enhance your teaching practice.
What’s Involved?
- 1-Hour Professional Learning Session: Gain hands-on experience with the LANES framework through reflection and example lesson activities.
- Exclusive Access to Resources: You’ll receive the framework poster, a lesson planning tool, and other practical resources to support your teaching.
- Pre- and Post-Integration Survey: Provide feedback on your experience with the framework to help us improve and refine it.
Why Participate?
- Enhance Your Skills: Learn a structured, time-saving approach to selecting technology that works for your classroom.
- Practical Resources: Walk away with tools you can immediately apply in your teaching.
- Contribute to Research: Your insights and feedback will help us refine the framework, ensuring it meets the needs of teachers like you.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in professional learning, access valuable resources, and actively shape a tool that could benefit teachers and students.
