INFORMATION LEARNING TECHNOLOGY
From time to time you might like to know the various ways teachers improve your child's learning experience by using technology.
Scott Duncan teaches Year 8-10 Mathematics and makes good use of the interactive whiteboards, typically for graphing functions. The software draws a grid and with a digital pen, Scott can show linear functions on the Cartesian plane using differing colours with good accuracy. The students understand the behaviour of functions, and also learn good graphing skills.
Scott also uses an iPad to wirelessly control a laptop that is being projected to the class. This enables Scott to both instruct and to move between the boys. He can hand the iPad to a student for them to show their solutions and techniques to the class. This is particularly useful when completing interactive problems.
Next term we will run several teacher-driven ILT parent workshops covering technology and learning.
