Chemistry is experimental science where we need ICT? Working environment is crucial chemistry classroom is not a lecture room Working in groups Laboratory context 2
Let s bring pupils/students to the classroom Experimental work Marmor after acid rain What is happening here? 3
Electonic Notebook make our notes with photos and videos and as you personally did it 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 4

Viikki Teacher Training School, University of Helsinki ICT-projects and virtual learning environments Ari Myllyviita MSc (Chem.Ed.), BSc (Chem.), BEd (soc.pedag.) Chemistry teacher, teacher educator Project Coordinator (Teacher s inservice ICT-training projects) Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 29 Koulu 3.0 and Koulu 3.1 (School 3.0 and School 3.1 social media projects) Recently, over 50 social media projects experimented with classroom work and parentteacher cooperation. All these projects are documented in the enorssi.fi portal. We have accumulated a significant method database for the exploitation of blogs and wikis in support of school work from the lower comprehensive level to the upper secondary school. http://koulu30.blogspot.com and http://koulu31.blogspot.com Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 30 15
Second Life Viikki Virtual worlds and modelling -project The project is about building learning paths into a virtual world (Second Life) in the teaching of biology, geography, chemistry and history. The use of various modelling and simulation applications provides new opportunities for chemistry and physics teaching. Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 31 KODU Game programming project The KODU project makes use of a programming user interface developed by Microsoft. The curriculum of ICT teaching in the upper comprehensive level as well as of elective ICT courses in the upper secondary school can be reformed with the help of game programming. Integrating this opportunity with other school subjects bridges ICT with teaching more generally. Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 32 16
SORMET and MOLLA Projects involving tablet computers Molla-project (a doll ) focuses on the use of tablets in preprimary and primary education while Sormet-project (fingers) explores their opportunities in upper comprehensive and upper secondary education. Does media education function in primary education? How can the effects of informal learning be measured or assessed and can devices provided to upper secondary students play a role in this? The projects cover the following devices: ipad, Android and Windows8Tab. www.sormet.fi and www.molla.ejuttu.fi Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 33 ANTIVIRUS A sick child s right to education The project aims to produce new models for ensuring basic schooling for children who, due to illness, are forced to be absent from school for a longer time. Various ICT tools are applied. Käyttäytymistieteellinen tiedekunta / Henkilön nimi / Esityksen nimi 3.9.2015 34 17
