Technology. Technology should be integral to the teaching and learning of mathematics.
From the Guiding Principles of Beyond Crossroads

Standards for PedagogyTeaching with Technology
Mathematics faculty will model the use of appropriate technology in the teaching of mathematics so that students can benefit from the opportunities technology presents as a medium of instruction.

Technology Changes
Since 1990, the graphing calculator has been a favored technology of choice to aid student learning. We still feel this is a great tool, but other tools are coming.
Where is Technology Now?
10
Excel is more widely accessible now that more students have their own computers and more schools have open labs.
Where is Technology Now?

We are probably not far off from a time when most students will have a hand-held device that serves as a computer, phone, radio, data storage unit, web-browser, camera, and calculator.
