This article illustrates the ‘visual turn’ approach to sports history in an analysisof traditionally under-researched material from the late nineteenth century. Focusing on football (‘soccer’) action photography, we argue that interpreting this visual material contributes significantly to the exploration and interpretation of the broader social and cultural context within which sports were practised andthe visual material was produced. Regarding the latter, the photographer’s challenge was to capture the movement inherent in the practice of sports generally and of football specifically. Our analysis explains the time at which these pictures first appear as a consequence of developing possibilities and skills in ongoing photographic experimentation. This is illustrated by a case study of a football action photograph from the archives of the Noorthey Institute for boys in Voorschoten, dating from 1895-1897. There, conducting sports was seen as a way of enhancing the students’ physical and mental strengths, including improved study performance. It took place in an atmosphere of camaraderie among teachers and students, the latter acting as supervisors and teammates at the same time. Beyond the texts, the photographs visualize what this educational approach entailed in actual practice
Eighteen years after the introduction of the graphing calculator in national examinations in the Netherlands, much has been learned about the use of technology in education. One of the key lessons was that integrating ICT as a tool for learning math is a complex task, and this complexity is often underestimated. In this article we give a current view of the use of ICT in learner practice in the Netherlands and in particular in the discipline of mathematics. Some of the topics covered include the type of technologies and learning materials used and the curriculum guidelines for math and assessment. Reflecting on experiences and challenges of the last few years is given an idea of future priorities. Directions for improving the integration of technology in mathematics education include the need to understand their role in learning and developing students' mathematical knowledge and reasoning, an investment in teacher training, the quality of digital learning materials and in more forms evaluation
