Workshop Goals
Why Technology Enabled Teaching and Learning of Physics
What are simulations, animations and videos
When simulations, animations and videos to be used
Technology based Assessment
Impact on students performance

5. Why Technology Enabled Learning
Engage students in learning
They can be used to do “experiments” in the classrooms that are impossible otherwise
Encourage students to work in groups
Express their knowledge in multiple ways
Revise and evaluate their own work
Helps in Construct knowledge
Improve collaborating power of students

6. Simulations & Learning of Physics
Makes learning enjoyable
Engaging students
Provide Unique Environment & enhance learning capability
Interactive and animated (simulate real equipment)
The Invisible is Visible
It is easy to change variables
Minimal Guidance
They can be used to do “experiments” in the classrooms that are impossible otherwise

Identify learning styles of individuals
Aural learners – remember what they hear,
don’t take notes, talkative, prefer discussion and Q & A session.
Visual learner - remember what they see, takes notes, less talkative, prefer images , charts, videos & slides
Read and Write learner – Read books and prepare their own notes
Kinesthetic learner - learn by doing things, during the class sometimes restless, look opportunity to move around prefer practical exercise.

Difficulties and problems faced in traditional classroom teaching Concentration span
Time consuming – writing and rubbing on board
At some time of the lesson you need to explain the 3D view of a body, which is not possible on 2D board
Drawing diagrams/figures takes too much time
Learning style of each student is different
Concentration span of students
Difficult to keep an eye contact with every student
Difficult to make yourself audible to all students
Students are unable to record the complete information delivered by the teacher.
Some are aural learner, visual learner, Read and write learner and kinaesthetic learner
The moment you find your students are reaching to saturation, you can move an animation or simulation.

What evidence do you have that use of technology in the class room worked?
What evidence do you wish you collected?
How can you get this next time?

11. TECHNOLOGY BASED ASSESSMENT
On the spot assessment:
Give Multiple Choice Question
In the simulation change parameter and ask about the expected result
On line assessment:
Give Multiple Choice Question and the score card
Offline assessment:

Feedback received from students after using simulations in the classroom
“I definitely not only enjoyed the simulations, but I'd go as far to say that the simulations taught me the most about the course because I could really visualize the inner workings of the physics processes that were going on.”
“I thought the simulations were great. It helped me to gain intuition about the topic. This is especially useful in electrostatics where it is not normally possible to directly observe the field of a charge and its behavior.”

It is the responsibility of teacher educators to ensure quality teacher education, which means up-dated and relevant teacher education programmes. To fulfil this responsibility teacher educators need to be involved in continuous professional development.
