Making the Technology Problematic: Applying the main contribution of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) theory to technologies for teachers
نویسنده
چکیده
ICT is a constantly developing range of tools that we can utilise to enhance our teaching practices. The arrival of convertible notebook computers extends this range significantly, in that it brings together the display size, storage and performance of laptops and the pen interface of handhelds without sacrificing the laptop's keyboarding facility. Such technology potentially offers a number of opportunities for dealing with the immediate and on-going issue of teacher resistance to implementing ICT in schools by providing a more convenient tool that expands the opportunities for implementing ICT as a teaching resource, and a more familiar tool that encourages teacher engagement with perhaps even enjoyment of the tool itself.

متن کاملThe Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory
Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
