Abstract

There are various technologies within the e-learning approach. These technologies include e-Book, Publishing and Presentation tools such as PowerPoint, World Wide Web and Web 2.0. The technologies that are being used in high school for learning should be improved to keep pace with the world. Unfortunately, science subjects such as mathematics seem to be lacking in e-learning as a platform for teaching and learning. If a new innovation is not introduced to address this challenge, some learners might begin to lose interest in the mathematics subject. This paper presents the use of Web 2.0 for teaching and learning Mathematics subject in High School using the Technology acceptance model (TAM) to analyse and understands the significance and critical factors influencing the technology usage in High School mathematics classroom.
