Learning and exercising in an e-class

Theme: Using DME and ICT Teacher in mathematics for 14/15 year old students. A very impressing and enthusiastic presentation.

DME is used to create applets for interactive problems, which can be integrated into ICT Teacher. Moreover ICT Teacher is used to present the digital course materials, problems and their solutions. Harm Houwing is authoring these mathematical textbook: The paper version of the textbook and all problems are given to students, while he displays the digital textbook, problems, and solution during classes (solutions are not given to students).

The digital material is projected to a whiteboard, to which comments and explanations can be added. This infrastructure is also used to discuss “ugly” and “clever” solutions of the students.
