Teaching with Technology in a Future School in Singapore

A Mathematics Teacher’s Experience

  • Chapter
Creating Holistic Technology-Enhanced Learning Experiences

Abstract

Over the last few years Singapore Government has been funding the establishment and operations of a small group of experimental technology-rich schools. These schools were known as “Future Schools” where teachers were encouraged to experiment with and apply technologies in their practice to enhance teaching and learning in line with the demands of the workplace in the future. One of the authors of this article was engaged as a Mathematics teacher in a Future School over the last four years. This article provides reflection on this experience, outlines issues that facilitated and impeded effectiveness of technology integration, and provides recommendations for teachers, policy-makers and researchers involved with technology integration in school.
