Thank you for guiding us through Renderforest. It is a very good activity to create social stories together with students. The working together part is important, it is like hand-holding, not only the technical part of the App but more importantly, the appropriate behaviour part.

# data[].attributes.body
Good job to the group! =) I've learnt something new today - Renderforest! It can help me create various types of multimedia content, such as videos and animations! I will definitely use it for teaching social skills for my students. The group clearly explained step by step on how to use this online platform, making it easier for me to learn =)

# data[].attributes.body
Fun lesson on video creation. Help us construct knowledge by reflecting learning but in a fun way.

Increases engagement and participation.

Collaborative learning is encouraged.

Retention of information long-term too.

Thanks to the team for introducing Renderforest.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the renderforest presentation. It was a fun and engaging lesson from the perspective of a student. Renderforest is an easy and fun way to create videos for social skills. Good Job team!

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed knowing more about Renderforest. Thank you for the step by step guide. It gives a different platform to collaborate with students to make social stories. Will definitely explore this tool when working with older students or students who have an interest in making videos.

# data[].attributes.body
Great lesson on creating 3D animated video. Engaging lesson with hands on learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson was effective in guiding me to learn how to use the tool called Renderforest. It is a useful tool to generate motion video (eg. social stories) to teach students with special needs, especially behavioural and social needs. This is a tool that I will try out in my subsequent intervention sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Fun and engaging

2. Good humour from teacher

3. Useful IT skill for students to learn

# data[].attributes.body
Renderforest is interesting. Simple annimations can be used with comic strip conversation. Presentation is lively and teachers are engaging. Thank you

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt something new today! Using Renderforest to create engaging animations and videos. Thank you for the guided step by step sharing !The content can be customized to meet the learning needs of the student, which is great! And can be revisited to revise or reinforce learning content for the student. I also liked very much the poster created using Canva as a visual support, especially for the personal space zone.

# data[].attributes.body
Amazing Job team!! Very engaging presentation and lesson. Curipod is similar to Khaoot but has more engaging features such as drawing. The AI interpretation is very helpful in explaining good drawing examples and in coming up with appropriate response for students.

# data[].attributes.body
Very interactive, lively and interesting presentation.

Learnt a lot about Curipod functions- presentation slides, poll, write/drawing, insert videos, etc. An enriching experience learning about personal space using Curipod

# data[].attributes.body
The software is user-friendly with easy navigation to the main features from the main page. The functions are very clean and easy to work with. The best thing is having the focus and slides next to each other. Other good features are embedding videos, drawing features to answer and polling.

# data[].attributes.body
Curipod is more intuitive and simple interface with multiple modalities to conduct a full lesson plan (Multiple choice, sentences,videos, drawing). It allows the teachers to have full control over the lesson, allowing flexiblity to remove inapproriate content. The AI can also help by giving some pointers and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Curipod seems to be a good tool to engage a large class. AI feedback to students is a good tool that i believe will help teachers. The report is also good to bring to teachers' attention which students may need more support. The team also provided a very interesting class. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for showing all the free features of Curipod. It is very engaging and the AI feedback allows individual student to get immediate feedback. The summary function also helps me to see the understanding of each student and their engagement level. The report also allows me to plan my next lesson and effectively to close the gap if any.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for guiding us through Curipod! The micro-lesson was engaging and the team, especially Yasmin hyped us up with her energy. Comparison of Curipod other tools eg. with Nearpod is helpful, eg. time extension for students to complete their responses, summary of students' performances during the activity. Providing students with options of drawing or writing to express themselves is good, especially for students who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally.

# data[].attributes.body
Curipod is demonstrated by the group to be a powerful tool to conduct lessons based on its numerous technological and pedagogical affordances such as conducting polls, creating videos, giving immediate feedback, allowing students to do drawing or writing, providing insights to the lessons and follow-up suggestions, etc. These make Curipod very useful because it not only engages students as it is interactive and fun but also provides feedback and records for teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Good job to the group for guiding us through using Curipod! I especially like how it has the mentimeter function but in a neater format and also the drawing function to get the students more engaged during the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Great job team! Love the pause and play. Curipod is a very interactive tool. I really like the AI whiteboard function that describes the drawing, AI feedback and allows for voting. It helps teachers to help give feedback on the spot and ensures that all students get feedback. I like the summary part at the end that highlights students who might need more help in understanding the material.

# data[].attributes.body
Renderforest is definitely a tool that I can use to create animated videos to teach social skills particularly for students with ASD. The plus points are the customization feature to suit different settings and the ready-made templates to use.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m present for the day

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for guiding us on how to get started on Renderforest! Very interesting way to create our own teaching videos for lessons and the wonderful part is that we can personalize the content based on our 'clientele' needs. Would definitely need to explore the functions more, in order for me to use the platform more comfortably! Thank you team!

# data[].attributes.body
The main objective of sharing Renderforest was to help our colleagues to better engage with their students who are more tech savvy and requires more visual. Hence, I am hearten to see that the feedback given by our colleagues so far shows a perfect alignment. Many also feedback that it will be very helpful for their upcoming assignment. =)

On top of the above, I also would like to encourage our fellow colleagues to use this tool as part of their teacher's PD session especially when it comes to case studies application as teachers find it more engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
By having the step-by-step guide, it helps the class to follow through the lesson well!

Well done team!

# data[].attributes.body
Well done, team! It has been great working alongside you all! I have gained alot of useful tips in using Curipod! Three cheers for us!

Interactive tool to create social stories for students.

AI Tool provide text to speech function and has various speech options

Thank you team for providing step-by-step guide!

# data[].attributes.body
The Curipod AI generated comments tool is very interesting. It allows for real-time feedback for better engagement. It allwos for students to express their answers in different modes and teachers to showcase student's work. Also, the compilated report allows for follow-up subsequently.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm here!

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the provision of hard copy visuals given to each table, especially the step-by-step guide. Sometimes, students may not be able to follow multi-step instructions presented during frontal teaching (I personally follow better with step by step visuals) so it was incredibly helpful. For for tech savvy students, they can complete the steps then have some time to explore on their own - great for DI!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi :)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Simple enough for creating video for our students

2. Good visuals for our students and can be a good reminder to our students

3. Fun and engaging tool!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you to the team for showcasing ClassPoint! The activities shown were very straightforward and interactive - immediate feedback to the students' answers was also good! The reward system embedded in the lesson itself was a great motivation factor for positive engagement as well. Will definitely explore ClassPoint soon! =)

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I will love using Classpoint because it transforms the classroom engagement dramatically, because it makes my students more actively involved with the learning content which I present in Powerpoint. Students can share their views, takeaways, and even their own material so that others can learn from them as well!

# data[].attributes.body
1. I can look at my devices and see the slides too. So i dont have to only look at the slides shown by the teacher.

2. Able to award stars to encourage participants.

3. Student can share their views and also be a participant in their own learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I really love Classpoint cause it is very interactive and my students loved it and are very happy when the stars popped out in their personal devices? By using this tool, students also learn to understand that good choice such as participating well in class will get good consequences and reward.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the fact that I can access the slides from my own device. The stars given to the students serve as a motivation for us to keep up with the lesson so as to earn more points. It also increase students' participation. Good job to the group!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for walking us through Classpoint & Check-chart! Regardless of tech level, as long as the tools are effective to help students to cope better, they are all good tools.

# data[].attributes.body

Benefits to using Classpoint:

Interactive activities

Engaging

Awarding of tokens to motivate participation

# data[].attributes.body
I like the use of low and high tech tools demonstrated in the presentation, particularly Classpoint. There is consistent engagement of students throughout the lesson with the regular use of questions and feedback. Besides, the award of STARS to students promotes interest and motivation to participate. The introduction of the video function in Classpoint is useful and practical.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Interactive feature amongst students during the creation of the video.

2. I like that there is reinforcement in terms of the point system. and that is done at real-time as well.

3. I like having students come up to display their understanding on the teacher's laptop. Students can help correct each other when others got the answer wrong.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed creating the video and being able to upload it easily. It was engaging even for adults as we wanted to view each other's submission - high student engagement.

I also love the fact that you can award points during the lesson in real time!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Very good I do We do component. Teacher demonstrate the end product, teacher shows and then students follow in creating the steps for the video likewise. There is even handout given for the steps which has clear visuals on the content.

2. There were also personal guidance from the group members on using the tech tool.

3. Simple layout and ease of use for the tech tool.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Love the function for the embedding of youtube video.

2. Real time feedback on students's performance is helpful for immediate correction.

3. Report (data analytics) to guide teachers to do necessary follow up.

4. Engagement enhanced with active student participation.

5. Love the function to adjust time allocation.

# data[].attributes.body
Classpoint is an amazing tool that has multiple functions. I personally enjoyed the use of AI to create questions for the lessons. This feature allows us to save time when creating our learning resources. Additionally, another fun feature is that teachers can allocate additional points to students without an assigned activity. For example if a student is displaying good learning behaviour or gave a good verbal answer during lesson, teachers can give them additional points.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Love the function to award stars to all students. Provide ongoing positive reinforcement.

2. Love the video function to record role play.

3. Love the team mates who made the learning fun.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Use of Blooket new app as compared to Kahoot. Thanks for the introduction!

2. I like that Google Classroom can be conducted live, online in class and offline.

3. Thanks for the tip of alignment being off and the rationale for uploading to google docs and then download as word document.

4. Interesting use of a number of different choice wheel for selection of student for answering. This is especially useful for older students.

Thank you for sharing with us how Google classroom works. Have heard of it but not interacted with the tool.

# data[].attributes.body
using google classroom to plan a lesson

good for older studdents

use of many technological tools - means lots of switching between tools.

Student must be familiar with basic functions before teaching and learning could take place.

using drag-and-drop function to draw a circuit is very interactive and fun. increase engagements. Good for primary school students.

Booklet - is another tool to introduce interactive quizzes. thanks for letting us try.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy Booklet the most as it allows us to do quizzes and snatch candies. This is new to me.

I also like the phet simulator as it allows me to see the real time reaction of the battery and lightbulb and explore more possiblities.

However, there is alot of switching in between the apps which is abit confusing to me. Overall, i do enjoy the lesson!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you to the team for the detailed lesson using Google Classroom and Phet Simulator. I like that the lesson was conducted on real-time and we were to try hands-on how to construct the circuits using the interface shown during the sharing. Students in current times are definitely lucky to have been exposed to these simulators to reinforce their understanding of what have been taught, subject wise. 👍

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for the lesson. I enjoyed the google classroom as it can be conducted live, online and even offline.

I also enjoyed the phet stimulators and I will likely use it to help my students understand the topic on electricity better.

As for booklet, I think we can use it for student who cannot afford to loose in a game. So they learnt that they just have to do their best and you need luck to finally win the game due to steal functions.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the experience using booklet. I have heard about it from my students and have seen it being used in class but have not experienced it myself. I love how interactive it is and is a useful and fun tool for students to review what they have learnt. Will want to experiment with this in my transit class

# data[].attributes.body
1. Standalone tool

2. Rich class tools

3. Blooket gamificaton feature enhanced student engagment

4. PhET: Great simulators to liven lesson delivery

# data[].attributes.body
Amazing to use so many different tech tools (Classpoint, Google Classroom, Blooket, ClassTool, PhET Simulator) in 1 lesson. Amazing to experience the PhET simulator. It is a great alternative to using actual components.

Good to see Blooket in action, read about the sharing on Blooket in our Aha Moments and watched some videos on it. But nothing beats experiencing it first hand.

Very engaging lesson, not much time for boredom to set in.

# data[].attributes.body
My school has been encouraging teachers to use classpoint in our lessons. So far I have only used 1 function (draggable objects) for my transit lessons. This class presentation has given me the chance to fully explore its functions. I feel more confident to fully make use of it in my lessons now.

# data[].attributes.body
most impressed by the Phet simulators. can be an engaging tool for G1 students to encourage learning. Very nice of the team to point it out. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
This lesson was engaging in multiple ways. The team used multiple tech software to engage students to learn independently. The tools shared during this lesson is pitched appropriately for a secondary school G3 science lesson. However, if we are to conduct this lesson for a G1 class, i would reduce the amount of tech used during the lesson to keep students on track with the lesson. Overall, Phet Simulator is an amazing and engaging tool to conduct the (I do, We do, You do strategy). Great job team!

# data[].attributes.body
PhET simulations provide an opportunity for virtual learning, which is useful during revisions or for students who are very curious about certain topics. It allows them to be engaged in their learning. There is a wide variety of simulations to pick from which make testing different experiments fun.

# data[].attributes.body
Great showcase of many different tech tools!

Blooket

I was most impressed by Blooket due to the high level of engagement - however, I also felt quite stressed trying to rush through my answers in case others stole my candy. This made me feel like sometimes engagement can come at the expense of contemplation and understanding. Great for a check in activity though!

Phet Simulator

I really enjoyed exploring this tool on my own due to the immediate feedback given. I learnt most by exploring the different cause and effects of using the various tools - However, this also caused me to deviate my attention from teacher's instructions and I had to be very intentional in staying on task - students may struggle with this.

# data[].attributes.body
Love Blooket the most as it offers various game modes for different learning styles, aiming to motivate students through positive reinforcement! Phet simulator is good for someone like me who is not good with understanding of science concepts. The interactive mode helps students to do hands-on and explore learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Phet Simulator is a very interactive Science tool that I've learnt and can use to reinforce lessons for those who need more hands-on experience.

The use of Classtools is very visually engaging tool that can be used independently for classroom activities. Similar to Classpoint, it has name picker feature but it is a standalone tool which need not be integrated into a software to use, unlike Classpoint which has to be integrated into Powerpoint.

Have been using Google Drive and this is the first time looking at how Google Classroom is used to consolidate doc, slides etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the interactiveness of this lesson. From the check-in activity with the aid of drawing activity, to a brain break activity that incorporates dancing and a review of the lesson. I was very engaged and was able to remember the key concepts of the lessons. Additionally the choice of videos - Vooks was well curated for this lesson. I am really excited to try out Vooks and see how i can use it with my students in secondary school. Amazing job team!

# data[].attributes.body
Kudos to the team for showcasing the features of ClassPoint, especially the way we could respond differently during the activities. I especially liked the one where we responded with pictures - the feeling we had on carousel ride! The merge with Vooks also was very interesting and relevant to the lesson demo. Thank you for sharing, ladies!

# data[].attributes.body
We tried to demonstrate the use of various tools within a lesson to highlight the multiple ways we can engage secondary school students in real life setting. Google classroom is very suitable in this context as it also caters to students who are absent with the notes and slides uploaded for them to access and be assessed at their own pace. The PHet simulator allows students to learn and refresh their knowledge in science subjects and helps to supplement their learning in the lab. We had a lot of fun exploring the tools and understand how we can use them for the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for the interactive lesson using classpoint. The brain breaks introduced are also very interesting and I think my student will enjoy them especially since most of our lesson are conducted after school hours when they are already very tired after a whole day of school.

Thank you for introducing Vooks which provide a very engaging lesson starter for lesson. I will definitely explore more with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for showing us VOOKS in action. The illustrations are nice, dialogues are simple and easy to understand for students.

The demonstration and use of the application of Classpoint with the use of the camera mode and uploading of images from the web.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Good use of Classpoint for checking-in on students' feelings. I did not know that Classpoint could do that previously.

2. I like the submission of either taking a picture or searching for an online image. It gives students options.

# data[].attributes.body
Good job to the group to have bring us through the different features of the Classpoint. I like the part they've included videos to talk about different feelings. This is going to be very engaging to our lower primary school students =)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Love the brain break activity. Good for a break especially for students with attention issues.

2. Great selection of video clips. The Sesame Street video and Vooks are two good video clips for teaching and engagement.

3. The option to choose online images adds interest to students' responses.

4. Gamification feature enhances engagement

# data[].attributes.body
Classpoint, Vooks, YouTube

Nice brain break activity, I can tweak it to suit my students’ profile. Thank you for sharing the Vooks experience, having the ebook read aloud will make learning (especially for LP readers). Students can always review the lesson by reading the ebook at home with their parents.

Great interactive activities inserted into different parts of the lesson to ensure students are engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
Good job team! I particularly like the use of gifs to provide emphasis to the scenario presented (i.e. merry-go-round, tiger jumped at you, etc.). I will definitely want to use more of gifs other than just images in my teaching slides.

# data[].attributes.body
The variety of features heighten student's engagement at any level especially the image upload feature. It will make my teaching strategies become more innovative and interesting to students as it enables my activities to be more interactive and keep my students focused on listening and participating in the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for the presentation! I enjoyed the drawing features and the activity where we uploaded different images.

To note:

In terms of user experience, I find that it is significantly easier to use ClassPoint on a bigger device like an iPad or Laptop especially for the interactive features like drawing.

# data[].attributes.body
Choosing a tech tool to use can be tricky as no one tool can meet all your requirements. E.g. a tech tool may be great for lesson planning (high flexibility in design, smart tools) but not for lesson execution (low flexibility in real time).

Hence, it is important to be clear of your objectives (why you are choosing a particular tool) and priorities for the lesson (e.g. information sharing vs. interaction).

# data[].attributes.body
I like that this lesson was very interactive with good use of visuals, video, music, movement, etc., to keep the students engaged. The materials curated are very age-appropriate for the targeted student. Overall, this presentation reinforced the ways that we can maximise the use of Classpoint by incorporating other tools like Powerpoint and Youtube. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Classpoint allows interactive learning with the features for uploading of pictures and videos, drawing and short answers.

First time hearing about Vooks. Vooks has many fun storytelling videos vs hardcopy books. Very engaging especially for pri sch students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I like how the videos complement the entire presentations!

2. There are many submission modes such as drawing, uploading pictures.

traditional tools like youtube and drawing tools can be used with classpoint.

Reflecting on affordances helps me understand how to use technology to teach and learn. Don't use tools just for the sake. The horse/cart image comes to my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Classpoint can be used together with traditional tools like youtube and drawing tool.

Reflecting on affordances helped me think about horse/cart analogy. Technology tools should support learning and not just for fun.

Pedagogical principles must be followed.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I liked that Olivia's group gave a visual schedule on the outline of the lesson. That is very helpful especially for our students when conducting lesson.

2. The students were mainly answering question polls and there were not any interaction amongst themselves for group work. This could be a drawback of using Curipod.
