eLearning in Maths

Last week I was privileged enough to work with some amazing Maths teachers (a much-maligned subject area) around eLearning in Maths. The day was essentially a massive eLearning in Maths TeachMeet. We crowdsourced the ideas into the Google Presentation below. This is a working document, very much in the same vein as Tom Barrett's Interesting Ways. Please do peruse and please do add your own ideas.


Why Bother with Google Apps for Education?

Our whole system has gone Google Apps. Below are a couple of slides that people may find useful if they have to sell the idea of Google Apps to colleagues. Best of luck!

Initial data analysis of teachers’ and students’ reported and type of use of laptops in science in 14 Sydney secondary schools

Recently I presented at the Australian Conference on Science and Mathematics Education around some of the early findings in my research, essentially an overview of my first paper plus a taster of the second.

The  presentation, entitled 'Initial data analysis of teachers' and students' reported and type of use of laptops in science in 14 Sydney secondary school', can be found in the conference proceedings here.

The actual presentation can be found in the Prezi below.

1st Journal Paper Published: Seeing Eye-to-Eye on ICT

After the roller coaster ride of peer reviews, editing and rejections elsewhere (see Peer Review, Peer Exposure), my first journal paper has finally been published: Seeing eye-to-eye on ICT: Science student and teacher perceptions of laptop use across 14 Australian schools.

It can be accessed at http://ascilite.org.au/ajet/submission/index.php/AJET/article/view/72/36.

Many thanks to the Editors and Reviewers at AJET.
