About Hollylynne

Hollylynne’s work focused on statistics education began with developing the Probability Explorer software and conducting research on learners’ ability to reason about probabilistic phenomena through a simulation approach. Her current work focuses on preparing teachers of statistics to use innovative approaches and powerful technology tools to engage learners in building statistical understandings, particularly through the design and implementation of online professional learning environments. Her work has led to numerous books, research publications, and awards. In 2013 she was named a NC State University Faculty Scholar, and in 2014 received an Alumnae Association Outstanding Teacher award. She is a two time awardee of the National Technology Leadership Initiative Fellowship (2002, 2012), co-sponsored by the Association of Mathematics Teacher Education [AMTE] and the Society of Information Technology and Teacher Education.

• A Framework to Guide a Research-Based Approach to Teacher Education Materials (Whitepaper)

  Co-Author
  While many organizations and individuals purport and support the benefits of the use of technology to learn mathematics, many teachers are unsure about how to use technology in ways that promote students' conceptual learning (e.g., Ertmer, 2005). Evidence suggests a model that integrates pedagogy, content, and technology is more effective for preparing teachers to use technology in classrooms (Lee & Hollebrands, 2008; Niess, 2005; Suharwoto, 2006) and this is the approach we have taken in the development of the Preparing to Teach Mathematics With Technology (PTMT) materials. This paper elaborates on our Technological Pedagogical Mathematical Knowledge (TPMK) framework, how we used it to guide the development of materials, and how we embody each of its components in our curriculum.
