previously been written with chalk on a chalkboard. Hieband Ralston 7 provide a detailed presentation of how DyKnow and Tablet PCs were used in thisinitial deployment.All faculty teaching mathematics now fully embrace the use of Tablet PCs and DyKnow andconfirm that the effort has been successful because the department took the approach of firstsimply using Tablet PCs and DyKnow to replicate established and familiar classroom practices.The creation of framework notes (or skeleton notes) was a logical progression for using TabletPCs and DyKnow in a way that existing research indicated had positive impacts for teaching andlearning. Only after replicating established practices did faculty feel comfortable leveraging thepower of Tablet PCs and DyKnow

problems involving the engineering design process, criticaland creative thinking, and technology applications (such as JMP, Pspice, TI Calculator software,CAS) are planned for inclusion.The textbook offers an authentic opportunity to tie content to the Next Generation ScienceStandards and Common Core standards in Mathematics. Authentic examples provide a realisticcontext in, for example, "Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems" (NGSS) and "Modelwith mathematics," from the Standards of Mathematical Practice in the Common Core,Mathematics standards 3,4.Reflection on Mathematics Textbooks Before DevelopmentTextbooks have been the common tools for communicating mathematics to students alongsidethe demonstration of practice problems on the board
