Web 2.0 tools in the mathematics classroomMaggie VersterIct4ChampionsAmesa 2009 Congresswww.school2.co.za

Do you want to prepare your learners for life in the 21st Century?Do you want to spice up your classroom activities and get your learners thinking deeply?Do you want to be a lifelong learner yourself ?Do you want to share resources painlessly “on the fly”?Do you want to become a reflective teacher?

“Every primary school learner and secondary school learner in school this year has lived his or her entire life in the presence of computers, wireless connectivity, television, the world wide web, cell phones, and computer games. They are a hooked up, wired, connected, multi-tasking, parallel processing generation of learners. Isn't it time the education process catered for these characteristics?” Laurie Burgereit
