Math Teacher Uses AV to Create "Mathcast" Whiteboard Movies By Linda Seid Frembes

Patty O'Flynn, a high school math teacher at Woodland High School in Washington state, has been a technology advocate since she began teaching in 1994. Since joining Woodland High in 1998, the algebra and advanced placement calculus teacher has used AV technology to motivate and teach her kids in grades 10 through 12. "I've always been involved in technology via different grants I have received over the years," she says.

Most recently, O'Flynn's classroom at Woodland High participated in the Educational Service District 112 (ESD 112) Sustainable Classroom Grant during the 2005-06 school year. ESD 112 provides support services to 30 school districts and 23 private schools in Southwest Washington. O'Flynn applied for the grant at the end of the 2004-2005 school year and found out in June 2005 that she was chosen. As one of 10 grant participants that year, she received a variety of interactive presentation technologies over the summer, including a Hitachi Software StarBoard T-15XL Interactive Display Panel, Hitachi StarBoard BT-1 Bluetooth Freedom Tablet, AVerVision 300i document camera , Hitachi CP-S335 projector, Califone sound system, eInstruction wireless response system, and a subscription to eBoard.com. more>>
