  1. Educational Software and Technology Enchanced MathematicalLearning Pavel Boytchev KIT, FMI, Sofia University elica@fmi.uni-sofia.bg

  2. The Focus of TEL What is the main focus of TEL? • is it ‘technology’ ? • or is it ‘enhanced’ ? • or maybe it is ‘learning’ ? What is the most influential technology invention? • the book(clear interface, intuitive, transparent technology) • can we compete with the book? • should we?

  3. If technology is overused, underused or misused, then its advantages become disadvantages Technology: Pros and Cons Advantages of technology - AAA • Technology is attractive • Technology is available • Technology is addictive Disadvantages of technology - AAA • Technology is attractive • Technology is available • Technology is addictive

  4. Example: Studying Solids Heads-on activities Traditional methods • textbooks • hand-made drawings • real models Modern methods • on-line textbooks • 3D software, virtual models • interractive, dynamic content

  5. Elica • Educational Logo Interface for Creative Activities • Modern Logo dialect • Natural OOP • 3D graphics and animation • Free, Windows-only (so far) • URL: www.elica.net

  6. Demo: Pythagorean Theorem • Visual proof • Going forward/backward through the proof • Dynamic parametrisation

  7. DALEST • Acronym: Developing an Active LearningEnvironment for STereometry • Partners: Universities of Cyprus, Southampton, Lisbon, Sofia, Athens; N.K.M Netmasters and Cyprus Mathematics Teachers Association • Co-funded by the European Union under the Socrates Program, MINERVA, 2005 Selection.

  8. DALEST/Elica Demos • Origami Nets • Potter’s Wheel • Intersector • Stuffed Toys • Scissors • CubixShadow • Cubix

  9. The Future of Elica • Elica – compiler-interpreter • Lhogho – pure compiler (25k, 100 primitives) • The next version of Elica will be: • Pure compiler • Platform independent • Web-aware • Harder to make

  10. Time For Demonstrations

  11. The End

  12. Thanks ForThe Applauses
