Shared by FTM, AST & ELS (Remedial English)
Project Goals (FTM):
1) Effectiveness in a larger class size
2) Reproducibility
3) Multi-discipline application
7. 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
10. 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”.
12. 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…”,
“It allows me to participate without being embarrassed
giving the wrong answer.”
