Teaching History of Mathematics Through Digital Stories: A Technology Integration Model

Introduction

Nowadays, technology has surrounded our lives such a way that we become overly dependent on it because of its priceless benefits. This close relationship between (modern) technology and humanity also affected the way of learning and teaching. In turn, the term “technology enhanced learning” becomes evident in recent literature in education. Technology enhanced learning covers all those circumstances where technology plays a significant role in making learning more effective, efficient or enjoyable (Goodyear, & Retalis, 2010). Moreover, literature provides several models of technology integration of educational environments that include accessing and studying learning material, learning through inquiry, learning through construction, learning through communication and collaboration, assessing learning, and developing digital and multimedia literacy (Bruce, &Levin 1997; Chickering, & Ehrmann, 1996; Conole, Dyke, Oliver, & Seale, 2004; Jonassen, 2008).
