Projects/Interests:
- RM MathsAlive!
- a government funded R&D project in 2000/1 to produce
high quality digital curriculum materials in mathematics for 11-12 year
pupils. Subsequently developed in 2001/2 to a full commercial product by
Research Machines for the 11-14 mathematics curriculum. Teachers plan
lessons using a web-based tool, and access a range of materials to support
e.g. Interactive Whiteboards, dynamic geometry, graphical calculators,
games, simulations and videos, Word files with lesson plans, notes, tests,
homework etc.
- On-line CPD for secondary mathematics teachers called ESTUICT(CPD)
Enhancing Subject Teaching Using ICT (Continued Professional Development) -
again focussed on the 11-14 mathematics curriculum. During 2002/3 the
government commissioned groups to set up a website of materials and
resources to support secondary school subject departments. The plan was
for this to be the basis of a CPD programm involving some face-to-face
contact with a tutor and then continued e-mail support. Take up has been
much slower than expected and the government is currently reviewing how
best to make these materials widely available to teachers.
