This document provides an introduction to Unit 2 of the EDUC W200 course, which focuses on how teachers can implement and make the best use of technology in the classroom. It discusses the criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and enhancement (3Es) that are used to evaluate appropriate educational technologies. Effectiveness means meeting learning goals, efficiency means saving time and resources while coupled with effectiveness, and enhancement means providing engaging experiences and enriching learning environments. Examples of technologies that fulfill the 3Es include tools for timelines, maps, simulations, and inspiration/creativity software.

The document discusses concept mapping tools Inspiration and Kidspiration. It explains that concept maps graphically organize thoughts and ideas using shapes connected with lines and labels. The document provides steps for creating a concept map, including identifying a main concept and related subconcepts, linking the concepts, and representing statements with images or diagrams. An example concept map image is included to demonstrate hierarchical levels and relationships between concepts. The document also demonstrates how to create and export concept maps using Inspiration and Kidspiration.
The document contains 6 multi-part calculus problems:
1) Compute derivatives of functions including f'(x) = -2x/(1-x^2) and f'(x) = -cot(x)-2/sin^2(x)
2) Find the equation of the tangent line to an "astroid" curve at a point
3) Determine the total distance traveled by a particle moving along a vertical axis in the first three seconds
4) State and prove the product rule for derivatives using the definition of the derivative
5) Determine if a piecewise defined function is everywhere differentiable
6) For a function satisfying an equation, find f(0), f'(0),
