Transformative Learning in a Future-Ready Curriculum by Emily Cheong https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18 Made with an open mind en-us 2018-09-13 02:26:31 UTC 2025-06-09 19:55:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286789303 Do we need officers who are both strong curriculum designers AND are technologically competent? There is less of a need to embrace technology amongst officers - many of us see the need but do not have the skills to make this happen ]]> 2018-09-28 01:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286789303 Ubiquitous technology https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790693 Is our system at that level where ubiquitous tech is a given? I feel that the tech we have in school is functioning at a very low level in relation to the tech in the real world. So we end up feeling frustrated because we feel we need to (and lack) the skills to troubleshoot tech issues, and have very little capacity to respond to (or increase our expertise on ) issues that are relevant to meaning making and engagement. ]]> 2018-09-28 01:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790693 How can we achieve deep learning in the various roles of officers/teachers/students? https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790788 2018-09-28 01:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790788 Teachers need to be able to facilitate learners construction of meaning. Because they have myriad resources to pull from, they would need to be very mindful of different learners’ ZPD, and be clear about when to prioritise divergence or convergence, inductive or deductive thinking in turn. This takes a truly skilful teacher/change in mindset regarding curriculum ‘coverage’. We as officers will need to help this mindset change happen through curriculum design (CPP https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790818 2018-09-28 01:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286790818 The role of f2f in a deeply tech world https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791004 Part of me believes that as the world naturally progresses towards technology related learning, that areas in education need to be mindfully curated to ensure that human interaction, AE and socialization needs are addressed.]]> 2018-09-28 01:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791004 Transformation” https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791045 While these ideas sound very grand, there are not many good examples that look directly applicable to one’s own classroom. What doable (that do not take a huge budget, specialized skill sets, logistical tools) ideas are out there that would make a good starting point? Otherwise can it be enough to just enhance and enable? ]]> 2018-09-28 01:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791045 Not sure if this is the right place to park this, or if I've correctly understood the statement, but I'm deeply uncomfortable with saying that "ubiquitous technology is A NECESSARY PREREQUISITE for deep learning to occur". What is deep learning? Have we never learnt 'deeply' prior to the advent of technology? I get that it can enable, enhance and even transform (lol) but I don't agree that one cannot learn deeply without technology. https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791301 2018-09-28 02:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791301 Maybe the ‘How to’ is more important than the ‘why do we need to go digital’ in working towards what Emily is sharing https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791635 2018-09-28 02:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286791635 Deeper Learning - what it means in future context https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286792093 This may help to differentiate between deeper learning versus current modes. 

Technology will help us to get deeper, and do things like collaboration and communication better, assuming we tap on them well.

Regular learners may just need a little more input before they feel safe to produce knowledge. An inclusive environment INCLUDES providing differentiated facilitation and materials, not the same pedagogic moves for different learners. Inclusive does not mean same expectations or approach]]> 2018-09-28 02:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286795202 Personalisation phuan01 https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286796516 At start of Sec1 we used to get GE students to write about their interests, strengths, etc. Perhaps it's time to tap technology to organise such info n guide them in making choices on what flipped learning resources to access, on grouping, e-portfolio, publish, etc. TnL resources will need to be curated n organised to support this.]]> 2018-09-28 02:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286796516 future workplace https://padlet.com/cheong_ming_li_/branchsem18/wish/286797172 will the workplace of the future be this flexible? if not, i'm afraid students will grow up to be very frustrated with rules at work
