Who are the seminal people researching in the area of your driving question? I have read multiple articles to further expand my research knowledge within a concentrated area of mathematics and integration of technology. Out of all the articles I have read, the one titled, “Teaching Mathematics to Secondary Students With Emotional and Behavioral Disorders: Challenges and Practical Suggestions for Teachers,” provides critical information that I can apply in my classroom, such as the use of explicit instruction to teach foundational skills and age-appropriate mathematics curriculum.The use of technology to teach Mathematics concepts is a technique supported by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2000) and the National Mathematics Advisory Panel (2008), and may also be used to promote hands-on application. Candace A. Mulcahy is an assistant professor of special education at Binghamton University (SUNY). Her research interests include teacher instructional practices and academic interventions for students with high incidence disabilities and education policy and practice for striving adolescent learners across settings. Michael Krezmien is the director of the Center for Youth Engagement and an assistant professor, special education, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research interests include academic and behavioral policies and practices for adolescent learners in segregated settings, including juvenile corrections. Paula Maccini is an Associate Professor in the Department of Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her research interests include examining policies, instructional practices, and teacher and administrator perceptions of curriculum, assessment, and accountability for teaching mathematics to secondary students with Learning Disabilities and Emotional Behavioral Disorders across settings.

Diana, I am happy to hear that you have found some researchers that have done work in the area of your interest and concentration. I would love to hear about some of the strategies and or instructional strategies they have used and have proven to show an effect on student achievement? I could use any of these strategies with my kids; they would benefit greatly. I love that your are also focusing on the "hands on" method. Usually kids better understand when they can manipulate the objects around trying to make sense of the concept. I can only imagine the inpact of having manipulatives interwoven with technology! thank you for sharing.
