Experiences from Workshop
Outcomes from the workshop
- Introduction to block level programme and the STF
- Introduction to Geogebra
- Problem solving discussions and strategies – an introduction
- A small group of interested teachers actively engaged in KOER resource creation
- An understanding of where conceptual gaps exist for children through examples of problems
Outcomes vs objectives of the workshop
- Teachers were introduced to the block level programme
- Introduction to ICT skills and KOER was limited – KOER was limited to demonstration of textbooks
- There was a lesson based introduction to Geogebra but limited practice time
- The problem solving discussion was felt to be useful by most teachers but extending it and integrating with classroom lessons is a challenge
Feedback from Workshop 1
- More practice time with Geogebra/ hands-on activities
- Demonstration of model lessons for 40-minute periods
