In this episode, we explore:
Pedagogy
How was maths traditionally been taught and what impact can technology have?
Does using technology require a different pedagogical approach to teaching and learning Maths?
Should maths be taught through investigations or problem-based learning? Can technology help with this?

Technology:
Why are there so many options for using technology: GeoGebra, Desmos, Autograph, graphical calculators? What advice would you give to schools making a choice about which ones to use with their students?
How are these platforms developing? Are there any new features that teachers might be interested in?


Schools and Teachers
If a teacher is nervous about using technology in class where should they start?
Which is more important – teachers using technology at the front of the class or students using technology themselves?
Should schools allow students to use mobile phones in class?
What opportunities are there for teachers to develop their skills?
What advice would you give to teachers who are expected to deliver some online/blended learning component for their classes this year? Should teachers use some form of video element for teaching maths?
