Abstract: Faculty from the College of Education and the College of Science at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) worked together to study the effects of incorporating Tablet PC technology in pre-service teachers’ math education. We assessed the significance of the technology by evaluating and comparing students’ final project and course grades. We did a statistical comparison of two groups. One group was the treatment group where students extensively used Tablet PCs to work on mathematical investigations and lesson plans. The other group was the control group where students worked on identical math investigations and created lesson plans without utilizing any technology. The outcome shows the technology enhanced group achieved significantly higher scores than the control group. This outcome indicates a greater improvement in the treatment group’s understanding of mathematical content versus that of the control group’s.
