The Biggest "Game-Changer" in Education | The Principal of Change - 0 views

“What do you see as the big ‘game changer’ in education?”
-
The real game changer isn’t something external; it is internal. It is the way we think and grow. It is moving from that “fixed” mindset about teaching and learning, and moving to the “growth” mindset.
-
Change is the one constant that we will always have in our world and if we do not grow and learn to embrace it, then we will become irrelevant.
The More I Lecture, The Less I Know If They Understand - 0 views

A good lecture does more than convey facts or put problems on the board — it lays bare the cognitive processes that an expert uses to assimilate those facts or think his or her way through those problems.

The iPad is generating more discussion about the role of technology in learning than any tool or event to date.

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.
