Résumé
During the past decades, technology has been becoming an integral part of everyday life and slowly shaping mathematics and science teaching and learning (e.g., Heid & Blume). Although there has been enormous investment on educational technologies in many countries, technology has yet to make a sizable impact on education (e.g., Drijvers et al., 2010). On the one hand, students are becoming increasingly proficient users of technology while, on the other hand, opportunities offered by technologies have still little been utilized. Nevertheless, technologies are becoming more integrated into education providing new opportunities for pedagogical approaches and classroom organisation. For example, mathematicians stated that they use technology because in this way they can more easily treat students as mathematicians and nurture their knowledge through discovery and experimentation (Lavicza, 2010). To utilise the opportunities technology offers we developed a large-scale project, GEOMATECH, in Hungary integrating teaching traditions of the country as well as good practices from around the world.
