| Learning outcomes |
|
The purpose of the course is to familiarize students with current possibilities of using ICT in the teaching of mathematics at primary schools. Great attention will be paid to possible applications of computers as a support for teachers, the education process, and the pupil`s individual work. Students should acquire the skills needed in order to effectively incorporate the computer technology into the teacher preparation, to involve the computer technology in the teaching of mathematics, and to employ computers for the purposes of the primary school pupils` individual work and homework.
