Conference in Singapore- Challenge based learning

I had a very fruitful weekend on 4-7/3 in Singapore. The program was packed but very practical.

The theme was challenge-based learning, using lots of mobile devices to learn.

I met  a group of Hong kong International School teachers and IT coordinators during the trip and they made a summary of some of the keynote speeches and the two school visits we have been to. Do click and enjoy that.

Next, I would like to share with you the blog site made by the school of science and technology in Singapore just for our visit. I want you to look at the meaning behind the whole site. Now, we all love to have recollection and feedback, same like all our students. AFter we have done one thing, we hope to keep some memories by pics or videos or texts. Then we love to share with others and get feedback. Think about this logic and apply to your lessons. To cater for people of different interests, the school put up a column on resources on the left. That's exactly what we have to do for students. When we have a task for students, we cater for students of various abilities and interest, so a resource area is important. So when we are designing a learning task for our students, this could be the scaffold to follow. So please enjoy and read the resource page according to your subject interest.
