Chemistry is experimental

science – where we need ICT?



Working environment is crucial –

chemistry classroom is not a lecture

room


Working in groups

Laboratory context


Let´s bring pupils/students

to the classroom



Experimental work


Marmor after

acid rain

What is

happening

here?


Some history about how and

why I have used ICT in high

school chemistry education



• It is always A PROCESS

• It is always A LEARNING PROCESS

• It is always A LONG LEARNING PROCESS, with

some times uncertain experiments

• It is a PEDAGOGICAL choice you make

• Too often you are claimed that you are making a

TECHNOLOGICAL choice – and only because of

pressure of working life


How to take ICT and social media as

a part of teaching and learning


• Modeling – 3D modeling, started over 10 years ago!

• Own home page – also for Chemistry education

• Following visitors (Google analytics)

• Home works, updates for course plans (lesson plans)

• Electronic materials – Slides, links etc.

• Teacher´s own Blog

• e-Book? e-Oppi/Pernaa – Orbitaali 1, 2, 3 and 4 –new curriculum?

• Yammer Edmodo Edmodo and peda.net –virtual learning or studying environments

• Virtual lectures (KE3) – own web-service

• Flipped Classroom – opetus.tv -videos

• Electronic Notes – ”e-notebook”, OneNote

Virtual studying environment


Laptops, Blended learning

Editable e-books (high school)

Virtual learning environment VLE


• The PIRE –project between Michican State

University and University of Helsinki

• About project learning, engagement, optimal learning

moment … (crucial concepts)

• Scientific Practices –approach

• Experimental work, Group work, Modeling and

explaining

• ICT-tools for modeling (next slide)


Modeling – a new approach to

science education?


Modeling and High School

chemistry courses


Chemistry 1 – Orbitaali 1• ChemSketch / Avogadro an essay (with photos from 3D-

modeling program) about some coumpound group (org.chem.)

Chemistry 2 – Orbitaali 2• ChemSence Animator –program – an animation about a

microscopic phenomena (fast reaction, bond formation)

• ChemSketch essay about isomers with 3D-photos

Chemistry 3 – Orbitaali 3• CmapTools-program To collect consept maps – course is

full of new consepts how they are connected to each other

Chemistry 4 – Orbitaali 4• Videos about titrations (you can´t do all of them)

Chemistry 5 – Orbitaali 5 (coming fall 15)• Phet- and other –animations (also during earlier courses)


3D-Modeling programs

• Modeling program

• Spartan, HyperChem

• Free: ChemSketch, ArgusLab,

Symyx Draw, Avogadro, MarvinSketch

Compare editable book and

tradional text book

Tradional text book

• Bookwriter desides what

you have for students

• Printed (or PDF-format)

cannot be revised easily

• Heavy to carry (if you have

for example 4-5 books +

practise books)

• Can’t follow the studying

process

Editable e-book

• Teacher can edit the book

to follow his/her ideas

• e-Writer can make changes

and easily revised e-book

• You carry only your laptop,

or you can read it with

mobile phone

• Companied with the virtual

learning environment



Steps to editable e-booksIt is a process and sometimes painful one

Readymade materials –web-pages

Publishersversions –printed likelearningmaterials

PDF- or someother kind of format

Firste-books:

Animations and videos are used

Editable e-books:

Teachers can editbooks according to their own teaching, include their ownmaterial, distributeown tasks and slidesas a part of book.

E-materials can have huge

variation, after all, all decisions are

based on pedagogical choices.

Virtual learning environment

guides the choices. Are materials

part of it or not?

Teacher´s autonomi:

Right to choose learning

The idea of modern e-book(comparing Finnish publishers)


Not editable – thecontent is ”given” - no virtual learningenvironment

Not editable –content is ”given” – own LMS

Editable books –content as ”learningobject” – own LMS / PLE


Electronic textbook

Orbitaali – EDITABLE textbook



Editable

Bring your

own photos

or videos



• Electronic textbook (e-Oppi)

• Virtual learning environment (Edmodo)

• Dokumentation – photos, videos from own

experimental works –> electronic notebook

(peda.net, OneNote)

• Electronic assessment tools (Socrative, Kahoot!

more about these, later)

• Gamification


Lower secondary school Chemistry

with ICT


Electonic Notebook – make our notes with

photos and videos – and as you personally did it



• Socrative: www.socrative.com

• Edmodo

• Kahoot!

• GoogleDocs

• Digabi, Abitti (Finnish Matriculation Examination)


Assessment tools and

The Matriculation Examination


• Using Socrative

• One part of the

test was

experimental

work

• You can use

the Internet

• All materials

are available


Evaluation in lower secondary

school – we use electronic tests


• Virtual lectures – bring experts to the classroom

(more traditional way of learning)

• Flipped Classroom –pedagogy

• Khan academy, Finnish version: opetus.tv

• Recorging pens – LiveScribe


New communication tools –

Augmented reality


Virtual lecture about fuels (KE3)

How to choose LMS /

PLE?



Virtual learning environments?

• Cource management systems(CMS): Moodle, Blackboard, Optima, Fronter etc…

• Blended learning or ”pure” online learning

• Platforms: Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, Elgg jne…

• Create your own learningenvironment?

• Different web-technics: Wiki-, Blog-technics, Discussion forums jne.

• Web-based services

Virtual working environments?

LMS – Learning Management System

• Management is the main

issue in learning and

teaching ?

• Badly editable (vrt. Swiss

knife)

PLE – Personal Learning Environment

• User-based

• User choose own tools and

working models (own tool

box)

Comparison between blogs and

wikis

Blogs (Weblogs)

• Like a diary, works with browser

• Normally person´s own

contribution

• Commenting allowed

• Blogger,com, Wordpress.com

Wiki

• Text, works with browser

• Shared knowledge

• Members creat content, are

commenting and editing the

content

• Keep the history

• Wikispaces.com
