I found this article on the Education World World website entitled "In Touch with Math and Science." It discusses how some schools are using a program called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) which encourages the use of technology integration in math and science. They also use real-life problems to introduce new math ideas and science concepts. For example, one teacher asked his class what the implcations would be for a 10,000 foot sea level rise due to global warming. The point of using these connections is to engage the students in their learning. As one teacher mentioned "more engagement ... leads to more learning."
