Graphing Calculators (GC)


Blend of calculator and computer
technology
Keyboard resembles a calculator keyboard
Each key may have more than one
function combination with alpha and
2nd key will produce different symbols or
perform different functions.

Graphing Calculators (GC)


Powered by batteries but has back-up batteries
hence values, data programs stored in its RAM are
retained even if the GC is switched off.
Flash-ROM to store applications software, etc.
Can be linked to other devices: Printer, TV, LCD,
Computer, Data logger and its probes (CBL:
Computer based laboratory)

CBL
CBL and CBR (Computer based ranger)
data capture devices: enable easy collection
of real data.
For whole classroom display of GC screen
or data, the following out put devices may
be used: OHP with OHP view-screen, LCD,
TV, LCD via computer.

Graphing Calculator
Also called graphic calculator or graphical
calculator (UK).
Hands-on use of the graphing calculator in
the lecture allow trainees to explore the
features using the GC guide books or notes.

Data Capturing Devices


Many data capturing devices. Example of
some: Scanner, digital camera, video
camera, data loggers, probes.
Digital cameras: designed for single images,
like a conventional camera but stores them
on a memory card/flash-ROM or diskette/
CD.

Data Capturing Devices


Scanners: devices to produce digital images of
sourced objects, such as text, photographs,
handwritten documents, etc.
Technology as used in Fax machines.
Software available to enable typed text to be
scanned and turned into meaningful text, rather
than just graphic images process called Optical
Character Recognition (OCR).

Display Devices
TV interfaces: connect computer or GC to a
conventional TV
Projection equipment:
OHP: Using transparency or special OHP
resources
Visualizer: Display 3-D objects good for
demonstrations to whole class.
LCD: used with a computer.

Vocabulary
Application: A program that helps user
accomplish a specific task, example word
processing program, a spreadsheet program,
etc. (Different from system programs
control computer and run the application
programs; Utilities: small helper programs)

Display Devices: hands-on activity


Trainees should be allowed to connect LCD
and OHP hands-on or
Lecturer demonstrates and explains the
procedure to connect LCD and computer
and how to use and adjust the OHP.
If a visualizer is available demonstrate
how to use it.

Vocabulary
RAM: Random Access Memory: memory in
computer for storing data and programs currently
being processed. Automatically erased when
power is turned off.
ROM: Read Only Memory: stored permanent
system instructions never changed not erased
when power is turned off. ROM installed by
manufacturer as part of the system.

ISL (In groups of 3 or 4)


Take images using (a) a digital camera (b) a
scanner.
Then use an appropriate software (example:
photoshop, paint) and edit the images taken.
Plan a 8 to 10 minute teaching and learning
activity based on the primary school
curriculum that uses the images that you
have taken with a digital camera or scanner.

ISL (continued)
Prepare a presentation of your T&L activity for the
tutorial session. When presenting state the
following:
Topic and sub-topic
Objective of activity and expected learning
outcome.
Explain your activity.
Explain the advantage of using your activity over
the traditional chalk and talk activity.

Tutorial: Hands on use of technology


hardware in the T&L of mathematics
Present your T&L activity prepared during
your ISL using a computer and an LCD.
Each group is given between 8 to 10
minutes for presentation.
Maximum number of groups: 5
