I am not sure yet. I am going to try out SchoolAI and EdCafe in Sem 2. I am happy to find out that SchoolAI can help monitor and flag out students who need extra support. :)

Tried to assign math task for lower primary.

WS140 — 2025-06-05 06:32:15 UTC

Edcafe is very interseting

liu_lingzhu — 2025-06-05 06:32:23 UTC

I would like to apply the skills in Edcafe in writing in sem 2

WS140 — 2025-06-05 06:32:54 UTC

Feedback was good, they pointed out to student that he should use division equation instead of multiplication equation.

clara_lim2 — 2025-06-05 06:33:15 UTC

EdCafe is a tool I would like to try out with my P6 EL class. I often struggle to give immediate feedback for writing so this tool would really alleviate my concerns. It even tells students what they can work on! I'm excited to try it out!

2025-06-05 06:34:39 UTC

Sorry, cannot remember the details of all PL-A-C-E by listening just now. I will try to give students more agency during my lessons next time, providing them with choices. I have to be very careful and make sure that the learning outcomes are not compromised while providing choices.

clara_lim2 — 2025-06-05 06:35:14 UTC

With edtech tools, it really transfers the responsibility of learning back to the students. This promotes learner agency. Alongside that, by harnessing these tools and weaving them into my lessons, I believe it will help me customise my lessons better so as to personalise it for each student.

2025-06-05 06:37:47 UTC

My school had tried FA-Math for P3-P5. It is useful as it promotes self-directed learning. I would like to try out Edcafe in Sem 2. Creating chatbot tailored to my needs is interesting.

Will try our EdCafe with my kiddos for a writing task as it gives detailed feedback:)

The personalised feedback given are in details, that is very useful for students on their composition writing.

I am thankful for this sharing. I would like to try out EdCafe with my classes in Sem 2. In terms of PLACE, I think that EdCafe gives students a platform to be self-directed as they receive personalised, customised and detailed feedback which they can adapt and adjust to feedforward to their next assignment in a non-threatening environment.
