    Making a difference - the appropriate use of web technology

    Get PDF
    Much has been written elsewhere about how, different Information Technology tools, can in principle be used by groups or communities to make their web sites more effective for Continued Professional Development. In practice, complex use is not often the case. In particular, three sites were studied in Scotland, which provided web facilities for the over 60s. The sites, and the communities they served, used only simple Information Technology. Nevertheless, they enabled their communities to participate effectively, on the 'right side', of the European population's 'digital divide'

    Developing ICT for Primary and Secondary Mathematics Teacher Professional Development: The Use of VTR in Lesson Study

    Get PDF
    Most (mathematics) teachers candidates have little opportunity to observe effective teaching in an actual classroom as many of their first learning experiences were based in a traditional classroom where rules were applied methodically to solve problems. In other words, they lack the experience base to meaningfully observe the classroom’s complex and rapid interactions. The use of video tape recorder (VTR) is one of the aspects of developing ICT to promote teachers professional development. Through Lesson Studies activities, some Indonesian teachers have experiences to reflect their teaching through VTR. Reflecting good teaching practice of mathematics form different context through VTR was proved to evidently encourage and motivate teachers to improve their teaching competencies. In some parts of the activities of teachers professional development programs in Indonesia, year 2002‐ 200, the reflections through VTR of Japanesse context and Indonesian context resulting teachers’ perception that it was a good model of mathematics teaching that can possibly be implemented in Indonesia. However, the techers were aware that to implement such good model there are some fundamental constraints should be overcome. Key Words: ICT, VTR, professional development, mathematics teacher, lesson stud

    LP-based Covering Games with Low Price of Anarchy

    Full text link
    We present a new class of vertex cover and set cover games. The price of anarchy bounds match the best known constant factor approximation guarantees for the centralized optimization problems for linear and also for submodular costs -- in contrast to all previously studied covering games, where the price of anarchy cannot be bounded by a constant (e.g. [6, 7, 11, 5, 2]). In particular, we describe a vertex cover game with a price of anarchy of 2. The rules of the games capture the structure of the linear programming relaxations of the underlying optimization problems, and our bounds are established by analyzing these relaxations. Furthermore, for linear costs we exhibit linear time best response dynamics that converge to these almost optimal Nash equilibria. These dynamics mimic the classical greedy approximation algorithm of Bar-Yehuda and Even [3]
