Hi one and all,
Back to our 'meeting shed' at Mac's. Same seats. Jihan had to 'shoo' away someone who wanted the seats before everyone in the group arrived. Lots of stuff again like bags, files, etc, but only ONE computer. Everyone thought the other would be bringing theirs. Fortunately, we could count on Vincent to have his.
We spent the first part of the meeting looking at the videos. They were long and we would need to edit to use only the parts that we needed, with captions included.
Finally, we had a re-look at how we wanted the completed assignment to look like. The work was divided again and we will be piecing the project together to upload by Thursday, 7th October.
Each of us has to take a photograph of the initiative we researched, for example Jeanette will have a flower (with her face in the middle) to represent PETALS. As for me, it is ICT.
In the midst of our project discussion and through viewing the videos and photographs from other schools, we learnt about how the initiatives are carried out, like the use of ICT in PLMGS in the Lower Primary, Holistic Assessment in Punggol Primary and how the PERI recommendations impact teaching/learning of Mathematics in the primary schools in general.
WE have gone on a journey and seen how Math teaching/learning has evolved from the 70s when it was very much teacher-centred to the present day where pupils are more engaged and involved in their own learning and the use of ICT to tap onto existing technology to enhance the learning experience.
I have enjoyed the learning experience.
