DESCRIPTION:Miguel Nussbaum\nSingle Display Groupware (SDG) allows multipl
 e people\, in the same physical space\, to interact simultaneously over a 
 single communal display\, through individual input devices that work on th
 e same machine. In this seminar we show how SDG implemented through a comp
 uter\, a projector\, and one mouse per child can be used inside the classr
 oom. We show two experiences. In the first\, a participatory approach that
  makes use of formative assessment for teaching arithmetic’s. Each stude
 nt must solve a series of mathematical exercises\, generated according to 
 their performance through a set of pedagogical rules incorporated into the
  system. We established statistically relevant results and observed that t
 he software proved most beneficial for the students with the lowest initia
 l results. This happens because the system adapts to the students’ needs
 \, reinforcing the content they most need to work on\, thus generating a p
 ersonalized learning process. In the second experience\, making use of the
  same implementation of SDG\, we propose a Computer Supported Collaborativ
 e Learning model for big groups within the classroom. The model the work w
 as based on was a Multiple Classification Matrix and the application we bu
 ilt was for learning language (Spanish). The basic collaboration mechanism
  the model is based on is Silent Collaboration\, in which students –thro
 ugh suggestions and exchanges- must compare their ideas to their classmate
 s’. In both approaches the teacher has an active mediating role supporte
 d by technology.
