"I am currently evaluating novel tangible technologies and evaluating their effectiveness for learning literacy and numeracy in early years and Key Stage 1. This entails research into manipulatives and the theories suggested for their effect on learning.Consequently, my work will lead to the design of a novel digital manipulative that uses embedded technology to augment the learning potential of manipulatives."
