Teachers' Experience from Using Interactive E-Books in the Classroom

Esbjörn Hägerstedt, Linda Mannila, Tapio Salakoski, Ralph-Johan Back, Teachers' Experience from Using Interactive E-Books in the Classroom. In: Proceedings of the 7th Nordic Conference on Mathematics Education, 2014.

Abstract:

The availability of computers and tablets at school level has increased during recent years. Nevertheless, studies show that teachers experience a lack of pedagogically viable material to use together with the technology in the classroom. This is the case in particular for mathematics. In this paper we discuss teachers' experience from using a given kind of interactive learning material in their mathematics classroom for the first time. Our findings suggest that teachers appreciated the opportunity to use new, flexible and interactive instructional methods for teaching and coaching students as well as the possibility to modify the material themselves. Challenges experienced were e.g. technical problems and the increase in time needed for teaching (both for getting used to the new material as well as using new tools etc.).
