TRADITIONAL LECTURE:
APPLIED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (AST):
Providing a strong foundation in mathematics, science, technology and communicationhttp://www.senecac.on.ca/fulltime/AST.html
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION 2008:
Hewlett Packard Higher Education Technology for Teaching Grant - 21 tablet PC ‘s
DyKnow Vision software
(FASET/ACS/grant/contest)
Project Goals - AST math/science:1) Potential for engagement and retention of students
2) Enhancing student learning and concept application
3) Demonstration of teaching strategy to other educators
FOUNDATIONS FOR TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS (FTM)
College Mathematics Project (CMP) http://collegemathproject.senecac.on.ca/cmp/en/index.php
Teaching collaborative/Technology integration Student-centered learning community
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION 2010:
Wireless/Mobile 40 Tablet PC lab DyKnow Vision software Shared by FTM, AST & ELS (Remedial English)
Project Goals (FTM):1) Effectiveness in a larger class size
2) Reproducibility
3) Multi-discipline application
PEN-BASED COMPUTING (TABLET PC):
Stylus input – like pencil on paper (no typing)
Annotations focus learners on key concepts
Visual learners can diagram ideas
Notes saved and accessed anytime/anywhere
STUDENT PEN-BASED/TYPED EXPERIENCE :
SYNCHRONOUS COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACE
LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
QUESTION: The pen based tablet PC and DyKnow software …
Agree Disagree
helped me to pay more attention in class 65% 35%
helped me to participate in class discussion 72% 28%
improved my interaction in class by having the ability to “share control” to display my work
71% 29%
changed the way I approach learning 65% 35%
“class is more fun than the traditional math class room, math is usually very boring, students interact more often, there is more teamwork and student involvement in the lesson”.
PARALLEL SOLUTIONS:
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
“helped to include everyone … instead of a few people doing some examples in front of the class”
“…No one is judging”, “…many times students are shy askin or showin their work…using this technology minimises such stress…”,
