Nanjing.

The two last days of the conference where in Nanjing, another nice, humid and warm city in China....

Dtr. Kissane from Australia. Speaks about our personal Technology.

Revisiting personal technology.
Technology is everywhere in society, calculators are cheaper than computers, that is a fact...
Learn by doing.
Calculators can be very important to learn not just to calculate.
Nothing changes in education if nothing changes in our techers which have to be supported.



He shared with us a couple of webs.

He also details a typical problem...

About inequalities
Expose students to a problem about the two rates of mobile telephones before they have been taught firmally to solve inequalities.
Student can guess and check with the calculator.

Here in Nanjing the organization has been also very nice to everybody. And the campus of the city is not as modern as it is in Shanghai but it defenetely is one of the nicest ones in China as they say. The gardens are look very nice and there are old houses that hold the departments of the University, the food here was very good to .... I know we eat much better than students here... in a way they want to impress us...

The last but one meal was really something amazing.... we went to one of the most traditional restaurants in the city....

30 something tiny small courses... very good all of them. And all very well thaught and planed... something light to begin, then meats and fish... soups of mushrooms to finish and to help you to digest...
