Abstract

This article advocates for a tech-enriched teaching approach using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and interactive boards to enhance students’ understanding and problem-solving skills. Overcoming challenges requires systematic planning, progressive policies, dedicated funds, and regular teacher training. The essay also discusses the benefits and limitations of ICT, the key principles of interactive whiteboard application in pedagogy, and the dynamic challenges faced by Greek elementary schools in redesigning mathematics pedagogy with ICT. It proposes blending modern technologies with traditional instructions, emphasizing the need for continuous teacher development and a positive attitude toward technology. The way forward involves leveraging Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems and interactive boards, necessitating strategic planning, training programs, and infrastructure investment for a tech-enriched teaching future in Greek primary schools.
