Affordances and Constraints of using ICT to teach, learn, and do
mathematics
Professor John Mason, Open University
With smartboards creeping into many schools and many classrooms, it
seems that mathematics can now be presented as a way of making sense of
certain kinds of phenomena. Many topics can be introduced through
dynamic and interactive images, and many lessons can be conducted using
tasks presented on electronic screens.
Following the Gibson-Greeno notion of affordances, constraints, and
attunements, what does this mean for conducting such lessons? What
particular opportunities are afforded by ICT resources, what constraints
do they impose, and what attunements are required of students?
I will suggest some tasks, and through working on these, we may be able
to address some of these questions.
Seminars are held at
the Centre for Mathematics Education
25 Broomgrove Road, Sheffield S10 2NA
There is no charge for this activity but please let us know if you
intend to be there. I will send you acopy of some reading John has sent
if you let me know you are coming. Tea and coffee from 4.00pm.=20
