Not So Distant Future - technology, libraries, and schools - 0 views

  • Because iPads deal with pdfs so easily, teachers can share out their assignments as .pdfs, either via their websites, qr codes, email, etc.    
  •   We have Google Apps, including email, so one option is students emailing their assignments to the teacher.
  • But the happiest and most powerful benefit of all is seeing all the staff and students coming together to problem solve.   Students helping teachers with utilizing an app, students sharing apps with one another, teachers showing other teachers new methods for doing things, teachers sharing with students, and tech staff and library staff all in the mix as well.

  • Teachers need to be on the forefront of curriculum, not in its wake. We need to be leading the charge towards preparing our students for their future, not hindering our march towards tomorrow

S2 Sensory Map - 1 views

  • For this assignment the secondary 2 students from the Singapore International School (HK) were required to go to an area in Hong Kong and use their 5 senses to describe what they experienced. Their English teachers helped them by taking them on walks around the neighbourhood of our school and getting them to think about what they could see, smell, taste, hear and touch. The students then worked in groups, picked an area they wanted to explore and set off to use their newly heighten senses.
