Abstract
In this paper we report on a team project that has as a goal to design, develop and evaluate an interactive Web-based tool for teaching mathematics content and pedagogy to middle school teachers. We will examine how a special education professor used Dynabook in three of her courses as this new technology was being developed, and how the students in her classes responded to this new technology over the course of two semesters and one summer. We will describe how the technology was used in the classroom, what methods were used for evaluation, how the students responded, and how the technology was changed based on their feedback.
