Abstract
This invited paper reflects on the evolution of technology in mathematics education, with a focus on how handheld graphing tools have transformed teaching and learning since their inception in the 1980s. Drawing on personal experiences and the visionary work of educators at The Ohio State University, the author examines the profound impact of visualization technologies and the enduring challenges of integrating technology into curricula. Key themes include the shifting priorities in K-12 mathematics, advances in technology like the TI-Nspire, and the potential of digital tools to enhance equity and engagement. The paper concludes by advocating for a renewed vision in mathematics education that emphasizes relevance, creativity, and access.
