TWOQUESTIONS
Q3)How do you useblackboardsandprojector (technology)in your country?Q4) How can weinnovate our teaching approacheswith teachers?
Useofblackboard
MalaysiaMain uses:1) Forexplanation of content or elaboration2) Toassess pupils’ performance – ask pupils to come out and show on blackboard3) Asdisplay board – paste manila cards/flash cards/students’ work4) Toprovide information – short important note/list/reminder of homeworkUseof ICT:1)withMultimedia corridor – 1990 with smart school project – Graphing calculators – GSP
Useof black board
Hong Kong1) Not muchemphasis onthe useof blackboard, pre-service teachers did not learn much or practice much in designing blackboard presentation.2) Butsince 2002 Education Bureau suggested that30% of the time need to use ICT- Teacherused ready-madepptfrom the publishere-textbookwhich is apdffiles of the textbook- usevisualizerwith projector,software – EXCEL, GSP
Useof black board
BruneiUseof blackboard, not as purposeful asit shouldWithLS – blackboard – more well plan nowICT1) Away of representation2) Pre-serviceTeachers are encouraged to use ICT, but not just show /project information3) Shouldbe more interactive4) Eachprimary school is equipped with at least one interactive white board5)Mimio– projector – B$10006) Secondaryschools – provide with projector and computer lab7) Allschools equipped with internet – so that cane-book, courseware, graphing calculators
Useof black board
Australia1) Blackboardspace – become smaller with the introduction of technology2) Blackboard– consider as out-of date but means of communication3) Butfor math – it is important to have blackboard, whole record of what is happening, and
Useof black board
Singapore1) Stilluse blackboard/white board – now with tablet, interactive board - addedvalue2) ICT–MP1somefor and some againstin 90s3) In MP3, by 2015, ICT-enabled lessons: 50%; Self-directed & Collaborated learning lesson: 20%4)Matchsuitable pedagogies with ICT, focus on thinking process, problem solvingand teacher as facilitator
Useof black board
Thailand1) Usemagnetic blackboard – especially for LS projectschools2) UseGSP --- in secondary schools, the issue of inconsistency of power supply to some schools – not really using GSP in teaching and learning
Summary
Useof BlackboardBlackboard is still an important tool especially for math teaching as mathematics need more space to illustrate/show the working of mathematics solution/working.Increasing use of ICT – should help to enhance this use of electronicspaceInteractive white board, tablet PC,visualizer, e-book,ipad,
How to use blackboard / projector innovatively?
-depend on purpose/nature of the topice.gtransformation – better to use tool that help in visualization-use of technology to help to reduce the repetitive and tedious calculation so that the teacher can focus on the conceptualization/applicatione.gstatistics
How to use blackboard / projector innovatively
-“click and drag” features – can used to provide dynamic or multiple examples – tracing the locus- both teachers and students need to use the technology – not just one party-blackboard compliment with manipulative, and IT (courseware/software – e.g. Autograph)
How to use blackboard / projector innovatively?
-develop digital textbook using the software calleddbook– develop interactive activities (e.g. in geometry) so that all teachers/parents and students can just download and use it ---use of e-learning portal – provide resources to teachers – particularly during emergency period such as SARS.
Questions /Suggestions for APEC countries to think about:
1)reconceptualizethe use of blackboard – not to be replaced with – as assumption that blackboard has the connotation of just chalk and talk.2) Whatis the future route ahead of mathematics teaching? – whether is drill and practice, or more mathematical thinking …., so how to integrate or use ICT to help?
Questions /Suggestions for APEC countries to think about:
3) DoesICT diminish or enhance the development of mathematical language or assist in communication of mathematical meaning?4) ICTis always driven by commercial benefit rather than educational/mathematical benefit – so be cautious!5) ICTas another resource of learning – need to evaluate its uses from a mathematical educational perspective and treat it as the same way as other learning resources evaluated as part of planning of lesson study.
