It highlights the importance of three factors for implementing a discernible web-based teaching strategy: appropriate choice of web objects,effective “virtual” pedagogy, and technical support and expertise. Based on these findings, a framework is suggested for constructing an effective teaching strategy to support the use of virtual resources in the actual mathematics classroom.
