  1. New technologies, new opportunities, new challenges Introduction to the Science MA session 23rd May 2002 Tim Brosnan Institute of Education University of London

  2. The opportunities: enhancing learning by using ICT to • Find • Collect • Evaluate • Explore • Visualise • CommunicateScientific ideas and information

  3. The challenges: to develop • A vision of how ICT can help our pupils learn • The technical skills and capabilities to start using ICT with confidence • The organisation skills required to use the technologies effectively - including developing a new role for ourselves in the classroom Not to forget our pedagogic aims and values

  4. The opportunity:finding information by asking The challenge:learning to ask

  5. The opportunity:finding information from a portal The challenge:what is my role?

  6. The opportunity:collecting information from an experiment The challenge:not to use a hammer to crack a nut

  7. The opportunity:evaluating information The challenge:to use information not (just) copy it

  8. The opportunity:exploring ideas through modelling The challenge:to relate models and reality

  9. The opportunity:visualising phenomena The challenge:to value substance over style

  10. The opportunity:pupils communicating information The challenge:to value capability more than skills

  11. The opportunity:teachers communicating ideas The challenge:to weed out the useful

  12. Summary • Key opportunity: to use new tools to achieve old pedagogic aims in a way that has never before been possible • Key challenge: to reconsider our role and develop new pedagogic practices

  13. End note - why bother? What is the evidence that ICT raises pupil attainment in science? Is this the reason to use it? If not - what is? (Other than ‘motivation’)
