Abstract | Computers have been in schools and indeed some mathematics classrooms for more than 35 years. Some schools have chosen to centralise their computers in laboratories, while others have a mix of configurations and networks. Whatever the case, how extensive has been the classroom use of computers for teaching and learning in mathematics? What has their presence added to the classrooms and the learning experiences of students? What effect has there been on the pedagogy of teachers in this time? How has the content of the mathematics curriculum been changed by the presence of computers in mathematics classrooms or in accessible laboratories? In this article, the author does not intend to answer any of the questions, rather he intends: (1) to present some observations about current use of online learning objects developed for the states and territories by The Learning Federation (TLF); (2) to raise the awareness of teachers and teacher educators to the existence of these free software resources that are beginning to alter the patterns of computer use, pedagogy and content in classrooms; and (3) to present some findings of a recent pilot study in the use of these digital resources. He describes mathematics learning objects, cutting edge tools and ICT, and how these tools assist teachers and students. (ERIC). |
