This link should give all the links needed in order to find great math software you can use. http://www.math.fsu.edu/Virtual/index.php?f=21 I have found it very helpful and would recommend trying to use some of them.

Hi! I have taught all levels of math over the years, well, secondary levels. You don't mention what age level you're interested in. But from what I have seen, there is a lot of good computer software out there which covers basic concepts in math. It allows underachievers to work on similar types of problems at their own pace. And usually the material is presented as a game so that the student is not bored practicing basic arithmetic skills. If you can find the "fun" software in math, then I would recommend using it. Years ago, one company called Sunburst produced some very good programs of this kind. I am not sure if they are still in business. Probably they are. I would check with your math department chair or if you are in grammar school, call up the department chair over at the nearest junior high or high school and ask them for suggestions.

Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm a teacher. What you can do is to see what they all ready know, then continue on from that, then go up levels each time they understand and get 100% in everything. from Amanda

Hi, I'm teaching English to students of different levels. Some of those students are low performers yet I tried hard to raise their abilities and I sometimes used technology, but the great effort lies on me and the way I used to get them interested in my subject. Thank you very much for your good opinion.

I'm teaching mathematics in secondary level. I've got lots of slow learner students. Computer Aided Instruction somehow helps but still, teachers' efficiency and motivation directly affects the learning process.

Hi, Kelly: What age are your students? I had a good experience teaching social studies and geography using the internet to do research with a fifth grader who had a VERY low attention span, poor grades, no interest in class. We used it to research to most arcane subjects that HE was interested in. I am mostly a bit of a Luddite when it comes to using technology (computers) to replace human contact. That seemed to be the most important factor in bringing struggling learners "up to Speed". Plugging them in to computer games or programs where they're expected to work alone is counterproductive. It's the one on one time that helps the most whether you're typing with them or writing, looking at a screen or a book. I assumed by technology you meant computers? Kathy Fraser

I have a low performing class and I would like to hear about other teacher's success in using technology in their lessons. I am very interested to learn whether or not it helped the low performers.
