My initial thoughts for assignment 1 are: how to effectively integrate technologies to promote learning engagement in math and science classrooms. In the previous discussion, I wrote the ‘good use of technology in learning math and science could be leveraged to solve math and science classrooms’ most challenging problem: learning engagements including positive motion, efforts and concentration’. In my work, I’ve seen many cases of edtech that successfully arouse students’ initiatives in learning math and science. I’d like to explore this area with scholarly researches and evidence.
