Title of presentation:	Significance of use of technology in mathematics in vocational education and some practical illustrations
Abstract:
The role of mathematics in the field of vocational education is quite different from other levels of education. Students in vocational education are to a greater extent practically oriented therefore concrete objects are closer to their understanding. Classical mathematics very often does not make much sense to them, so they find it useless and hard to accept. Mathematics in vocational schools should be adjusted to the needs and possibilities of the students. It is very important to connect teaching of mathematics with student’s vocation and their practical knowledge. Due to a different role of mathematics also the use of technology in mathematic lessons of vocational education has a different role compared to other programs. In my presentation I will try to enlighten the above mentioned specialties of vocational education. Through a demonstration of a concrete case I will tackle the issue of choice of ICT and the proper way of using it in mathematics lessons in vocational schools.
