How technologies in the classroom are modifying space and time management in teachers’ experience?

This work aims to provide a tool for measuring the relationship among teachers, students and new technologies in the classroom. More precisely, we think that we could find out some indicators of teacher's and student's activity with tech- nologies. These indicators are space and time. Technologies in the classroom are modifying space and time management in teachers' experience? And how? And is there any relationship among this modi- fication, teaching quality and learning performances? How to measure space and time of teacher's utilization of technology in the classroom? This paper describes the design and the development of a software aimed to quantify teacher's (or students') movements, for identifying recurrent patterns associated to some action types. The software was developed as part of the MOTUS project. The aim of MOTUS (MOnitoring Tablet Utilization in School) Project, involving 12 primary and sec- ondary schools in the Northern and Mid part of Italy, is to provide teachers' train- ing and evaluation in schools, choosing to implement tablets in the classrooms according to a "one-to-one" way of utilization. So we decided to name MOTUS also the software we developed for enabling Microsoft Kinect technology to allow us the measurements we have to do in our research.
