Active Learning

My list of experiences:

Physics pracs - 10
Physics Lectures - 2
Maths Lectures - 1
Enviro Science Field Trip - 6
Tutorials - 4
Exams- 1
Maths Assignment - 6
Embedded Prac - 10
Reading for Education Subjects - 2
Astronomy Observations - 10
Overall experiences :- 52/10
= 5.2

Many of my experience have been what you could call "old hat" teaching. This is especially prevolant in the maths and science areas of University I have found. All of my maths lectures are heavily chalk and talk based, and majority of the physics ones also follow this format.
I can imagine it is hard to integrate many technologies into some of these pure subjects, however I also find it interesting that within a university, the other faculties are unwilling to work with the information the education faculty has on the best methods of teaching.
