Abstract
Tablets with their simple interface, portability, speed, affordability and their variety of apps are quickly moving into schools
across Europe and a growing number of teachers are experimenting with tablets or are interested in doing so. In the context of
monitoring the MOOC “Creative use of Tablets in Schools” provided by the European Schoolnet Academy, the final activity
was to create a lesson or a project plan. To design the lesson plan we used a very nice tool called the “Learning
Designer” which was developed by the London Institute of Education. According the Scenario student will visit the local Math
Museum during Mathematical Week and create Augmented Reality posters for the school. From the implementation of this
scenario students will come in contact with the beauty of mathematics, its history and get to know great mathematicians and
their works.
Key words: Tablets, Augmented Reality, Aurasma, History of Math.
Α. Teaching plan
Α1 General features characteristics
The general idea is to get students involved with mathematics but not by solving routine exercises. Students will
get to know historical moments of mathematics, great mathematicians as well as important theories. The scenario
doesn’t begin and finish in the Math museum, the most important thing is the preparation before the visit and after
it. Students come into contact with knowledge not with frontal teaching or lecture, but conquer knowledge working
in groups and using their creativity to create augmented posters as a guide and analysis to share with the rest of
the school. The ICT are present in every phase of the scenario. Choosing the right technology tool each time
helps cooperation among students to achieve the final product through their creativity. The project is aimed at 24
high school students (6 groups of 4 students each). The length of time required for implementation of the project
in real conditions is 1230 minutes, or about 28 hours of 40 or 45’, that is 14 weeks with two hours a week, so the
project will last 3.5 months. Times came so precise with the use of the Leaning Designer.
Β. Presentation
Β1 Aims
From the implementation of this project students will be able to give biography of great mathematician. -Students
will be able to identify important theorems. -Students will be able to explain historical context of math works. -
Students will have a group discussion discussing a particular math work and will be able to categorize into their
correct genres such as definition, request, finding, theorem, proof, conjecture, unsolved problems, etc. -Students
will be able to describe particular similarities and differences in math works during centuries and in different
civilization. Students will create Posters to be part of an augmented reality exposition at school. The exposition
will be called: A visit to local Math Museum. 6 posters will be created. These posters are going to be the physical
support to multimedia artifacts created or uploaded by students (videos, PowerPoint presentations, etc.).
Aurasma application will be used to link the physical objects in the posters (stamps, photos, drawings, etc.) to the
multimedia presentations.
Β2 Outcomes
Expectations from the implementation of teaching:
Knowledge: Learners will discover significant periods of mathematics, will “meet” great mathematicians, their main
mathematics results and its applications.

Β3 Theoretical framework
During planning of this project we took into account theories of tutoring mathematics and effective use of ICT in
classroom. The theory of Constructivism (with main representatives Piaget, Dienes, Singlair) includes three basic
ideas for the learning of mathematics: Students devise personal methods of solving mathematical problems. The
learning of mathematics takes place through solving problems. The role of the social group for learning is crucial.
With regard to the first idea of construction theory, it has been observed that the students prefer to invent and
construct their own ways of solving mathematical problems, in spite of following the instructions of teachers. On
the second idea of constructivism, it is a fact that the situations which the trainees find problematic attract much
interest. The theory of constructivism gives finally much emphasis on the role and contribution of the social group
in the construction of knowledge. The difference of ideas and opinions of team members causing instability,
resulting in possible reorganization of prior knowledge and conquest of new within an environment of
communication and cooperation.
The Socio-cultural approach or theory of personality (Vygotsky). Humans by nature are curious and constantly
learning so that knowledge and learning not only acquired within the school environment. The reasons for
someone to learn are notable for everyone and are powerful factor learning, so it is necessary to have goals and
objectives and learning methodology. The motivation to learn on the one hand related to filling the deepest needs,
and on the other to achieve some objectives on the values of a society, we learn in interaction with other people.
Important role in this played by the language in which inherent cultural characteristics of the individual. Learning is
best achieved when the student becomes responsible for his own personal mental development. Learning that
with intellect and emotions involves not only lasts long, but also penetrates virtually everyone by changing him.
Effective learning of the mathematical object is a more the most complex processes also to achieve certain
preconditions must be met. The main principles which should govern the teaching of Mathematics for effective
learning are:
The child, in order to learn, first of all has the will and showing interest in learning the subject. The primary role of
the teacher is to adjust the object to the needs, interests, aptitudes and abilities of student, in order to motivate to
pay attention. Learning is a process of reorganization of prior knowledge and construction of the new. To learn the
student is very important that the process to amend the old knowledge be made through experiences related to
learning object. Essential component of effective learning is also active student participation. For this reason there
must be freedom of thought and expression, good relationship between the child and the teacher, etc. An
authority that contributes to effective learning and that every teacher should have in mind is the personal way of
learning of every one. The teacher must not impose a model of learning style, but to encourage and strengthen
that of each trainee. Also, the individual rate of learning, each student has to be taken into account by the teacher,
who in turn must modify and adapt his lesson at the speeds learning of children.
About the question of what distinguishes Tablets from devices previously used in schools can partly be answered
by looking at what distinguishes mobile technology from other technologies. A UNESCO report (Shuler, Winters et
al. 2013) defines mobile learning as learning using mobile technologies such as mobile phones, smartphones, e-
readers and Tablets, and argues that these devices offer ‘unparalleled access to communication and information’.
The report further argues that the increased affordability and functionality of mobile technology compared to
technologies previously used in schools means they can support learning in new ways. Ubiquitous access to
technology is recognized by UNESCO as facilitating more personalized learning, benefiting especially children
with learning difficulties. Increased affordability of the devices and the option to reduce printing were associated
with potential cost savings.
In addition to affordability and functionality, an important element in the popularity of mobile devices is their
portable nature. This means that the technology can be used outside the classroom, potentially facilitating what
has been termed ‘anytime, anywhere learning’ or seamless learning (Sha, Looi et al. 2011; Wong 2012; van 't
Hooft 2013). It has been argued that access to a personal device and the portable nature of mobile technology
3. 3 Καινοτόμες Εφαρμογές στη Διδακτική Πράξη
allow learners to build links between school and everyday life, bridge formal and informal learning contexts, and
transcend the limitations of their immediate environment (Seipold and Pachler 2011; Wong 2012; Shuler, Winters
et al. 2013)
Mobile technology is believed to facilitate access to personalized learning content (Sha, Looi et al. 2011; Shuler,
Winters et al. 2013). Along with the ability to learn outside traditional classroom settings, this is argued to support
independent learning and the development of metacognitive skills or ‘learning to learn’ skills in young learners
(Sha, Looi et al. 2011; Kearney, Schuck et al. 2012; Wong 2012). Wong argues that access to mobile technology
allows students to design their own learning contexts in terms of when, where and how they feel they learn best,
and learning thereby becomes increasingly self-directed. Kearney, Schuck et al. (2012) reviewed over 30 case
studies of mobile technology use in education and found personalization to be one of three main benefits,
alongside collaboration and authenticity. Although the authors do not highlight one-to-one access, it appears that
this is important to achieve the degree of independence described by this pedagogical framework. Personalization
is, according to Kearney, Schuck et al. (2012), a result both of being able to adapt learning content and activities
to suit the individual learner’s needs, and of the sense of agency and independence the student feels from being
able to customize his or her own learning. Authenticity in this context means that the learning can be
contextualized in ways that make the lessons relevant to the student, and it is therefore linked with this
personalized approach to learning.
Thanks to the ease of accessing emails and messaging applications using mobile devices, researchers have
noted improved communication between teachers and students as well as increased opportunities for feedback
and continual assessment (Shuler, Winters et al. 2013). According to Snell and Snell-Siddle (2013), enhanced
mobile communication and feedback can lead to greater student motivation and greater understanding of the
learning process. West (2013) similarly argues that ongoing digital assessment can give students opportunities to
reflect on their learning progress and therefore support greater student autonomy.
Collaboration is highlighted by Kearney, Schuck et al. (2012) as the third main benefit of mobile learning in
addition to personalization and authenticity. Collaboration is defined as the ability to engage in discussions about
learning which are supported by technology, as well as the ability to transfer and collaborate on content. This
degree of collaboration is facilitated by a personalized approach to learning where all students have access to
mobile technology. According to van’t Hooft (2013), mobile devices support collaborative learning thanks to their
high mobility (i.e. they are small enough to be carried in one hand) and their small form factor (in other words,
they are unobtrusive and do not interfere with face-to-face interaction). Van’t Hooft further points to the
accessibility of mobile devices (ease of use and ability to turn on instantly), the ability to create, access and
display information in multiple modalities (text, video, audio, graphics) and the ability to communicate and share
information; these are cited as other facilities of mobile technology that support collaboration between students
and between students and teachers.
One of the arguments for adopting mobile learning is that young people have access to and use mobile
technology seamlessly in their individual lives, and that they will increasingly expect to have access to instant
communication and personalized content in school (West 2013). Others, however, have warned against
introducing mobile technology ‘just’ because students will expect it (Kinash, Brand et al. 2012). It has also been
argued that students’ perceptions of using mobile technology will differ greatly and that teachers must incorporate
mobile technology alongside other methods of teaching in order to reach all students (Snell and Snell-Siddle
2013). Van’t Hooft (2013) argues that pressures on educational institutions to allow the same kind of access to
technology will continue to increase, and sees it as logical that teachers and students take advantage of mobile
devices. He also argues, however, that integrating mobile technology requires making changes to education in
order for mobile learning to be ‘meaningful, effective and safe’ (van't Hooft 2013). Digital tools have the ability to
enhance these educational technologies of the self. But we need to make sure that these tools are also aligned
with learning outcomes which prioritize human dignity rather than haste, consumption, and algorithmic metrics
(Jordan Shapiro 2014).

Teacher will provide to each group some indications of what are the contents of each poster: Your group will
create a Poster to be exposed in the school about History of Math. The poster must have (at least) these five
components: 1. who are we? (You may create a video to present your group to the school) 2. The period of
investigation (You may create a video or share some digital content that presents the period: 1st Period: Greek
Mathematics, 2nd period: Arab’s & India’s Mathematics, 3rd period: Middle Ages & Renaissance, 4th period: 17th-
18th century, 5th period: 19th – 20th century, 6th period: 21st century) 3. Biography of at least three great
mathematicians of that period and why did you choose them. (You may create a video or share some digital
content) For example: Pythagoras, Fibonacci, Newton, Euler, Gauss, Hilbert, and Perelman 4. Significant
Theorem’s or substantial work of them (You can find some information about them in the internet or you can
simply consult your library books. You can create a video explaining them. Use GeoGebra software to present a
theorem (http://www.geogebra.org/cms/pt_BR/), record your geometric construction using screen recorder
software (like ZD Soft screen recorder). Then you can use the Movie Maker to produce your video and to put your
explanation in it (using for instance windows sound recorder)). 5. How can we use these theorems to solve real-
life problems or pure mathematical problems? (You can search in the internet for possible applications of these
theorems but it can be very helpful if you could explain how to solve some problems of your own text book.) Good
Luck! In their groups students have to read it and to discuss ideas about their future work.

Β7 Research
The above project has not been implemented yet, but there are studies that demonstrate the positive impact the
use of tablets has in classroom, which is why we provide research-based literature demonstrating the positive
results of the implementation of this teaching method in practice. In his research study Hasan Hüseyin Aksu came
out with some significant findings on tablet to be used in mathematics classes as an outcome of the Fatih Project.
The advantages of using a tablet in mathematics would be “It could make mathematics course more enjoyable
with visuals and animations”, “It could facilitate the perception of abstract concepts in mathematics” and “It could
increase the interest of students in mathematics”. On the other hand, there might be some disadvantages: “It
could lessen the communication between students and mathematics teachers”, “It could decrease social
interaction between students” and “It could encourage students for a ready-made knowledge in mathematics
courses”, (Aksu, H. H.2014).
Also within the Creative Classroom Lab (CCL) project, CCL teachers in Austria, Italy and Slovenia implemented
the CCL Learning Scenario „Collaboration & Assessment“. This case study focuses on collaborative work with
students and how to form groups, assess group work and supporting group work and their assessment with
tablets.
Collaborative work teaches students important 21st century skills. They learn to work together and to meet project
deadlines. They also learn to cooperate with different class mates and to deal with difficulties that can arise when
working with others. Students generally enjoy group work, as producing their own product together can be a very
engaging learning experience. The students can be creative and create different products on the same task. One
general concern that CCL teachers had with group work and it’s assessment was that both tasks are very time
consuming. In particular with a big class, it can be challenging for the teacher to guide each group in their work.
Equally, the assessment of the work can be time consuming, as the teacher might have to assess very different
outcomes of the group work. Ideally, the teacher should take the time to discuss the grades with the students but
that is often not feasible.
Teacher decides if the focus of the assessment of the given group task is on the outcome of the group work (e.g.
a presentation) or the process (e.g. on how well did the group work together). If all teams produce the same
product, the process is more important than the product itself. He also included his students in setting the criteria
for the assessment. In the beginning, students found it very difficult to understand the task and to come up with
criteria themselves. However, learning to agree on assessment criteria and to give feedback are important new
skills for students. Criteria set up were, for example, the subject content covered, the product and design and its
timely delivery. CCL teachers found tablets to be useful for students to use during the group work.
Tablets can also be useful to accessself-assessment questionnaires online. Such online questionnaires allow for
immediate evaluation. Otherwise, evaluating a higher number of questionnaires filled in on paper can be quite
time consuming for the teacher. Another possibility is to use the tablet to take photos of the several steps of the
group work to document the process. Finally, mobile devices can also support online collaboration between
students from different classes.
