-Reps acted on feedback very readily]]> 2020-04-28 05:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535306533 https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535311575 1) Use of different SLS tools and Online platforms to scaffold learning (SLS - Multi-part question tool for scaffolding Problem Sums) (Other Platforms: Quizzizs, Online Games (Fraction Games), Google Math Escape Room) 
2) Variety of question types (MCQ, drag and drop, open-ended) that allow pupils to display their understanding of concepts in different ways. Also ensures that the lesson is not too mundane for pupils. 
3) Used of teacher-led or recorded videos to go through concepts or questions. 
4) The use of the drawing tool to allow pupils to submit their working was useful for teachers to check understanding and give feedback. 
5) Guidance from ST (Rong Huang) on how to better scaffold lessons on SLS.

- where teachers learn from one another to design better ICT lessons
- learning good practices from other teachers
- pick up ICT skills to design SLS lessons and explore new tools one never tried before
- to learn new ideas from more senior teacher when your SLS lesson is being reviewed 
- to connect and engage with students without the daily face to face interaction
- to learn how to scaffold explicitly on SLS to impart maths concepts
- tired but enriched by the rich learning during this HBL]]> 2020-04-28 05:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535315786 https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535321776 Thankful for all the lessons packages done by the level reps n ict reps. 

Star points
1) use of interactive tools in SLS,padlets to get feedbacks. Pupils are ever ready to look forward to give their feedback
2) customised ppts w our recorded voice (can be a DJ soon)  n converting into mpeg. Many good feedbacks from parents regarding customised slides n the teacher's voice embedded in the slides
3) take the opportunity to learn from other teachers to  make our lesson more interactive n engaging.

SLS interactive tools are good for peer assessment and providing feedback to learners. SLS lessons from level/ict reps were comprehensive and tailored to pupil learning outcomes]]> 2020-04-28 08:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535591418 TWPSGrow https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535598147 Too many tracking documents, weekly SOW and links, customised SLS lessons, feedback etc to be updated from different sources. Good to include in one excel template only. Preparation workload in HBL already takes up a much longer time. Additional admin workload also takes up a lot of  time when there is a need to go on to different sources to update links and provide inputs for all the lessons. If FBHL continues, may need to reconsider a more efficient and effective way to reduce admin workload for level, ict reps and teachers. ]]> 2020-04-28 08:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535598147 phuilea https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535729898 Good
- Many practical ICT tools learnt and these tools can continue to be useful even after the HBL days.
- Able to see different types of lessons planned by other teachers and there is much learning from them.
- Videos created for pupils are very useful as pupils can re-watch that many times and also use them for revision

AFI
- Too much tracking to be done so it takes up a lot of admin time as well.
- Vetting of teacher's customised lessons might not be necessary as some of the base lessons are really very comprehensive so there isn't really much customisation but more of personalisation. 
- Though lessons are of good quality, they really do not suit some of the LP pupils. They have difficulties reading and understanding sometimes and they lack the motivations and skills to re-visit lessons or seek help even though helplines are available.

Improvements                 
- Always be mindful in putting ourselves in the learner's shoes and select appropriate learning tools and giving instructions. Not too many interactive tools in one lesson or else pupils will be 'distracted'. Too much for pupils to handle (esp. the younger learners) 
- Keep number of activities and video recordings within recommended duration.        ~Meng Chee :)

- starting the lesson with WALT and a recap of the previous lesson is a good practice 
-  customizing lessons by the subject teachers is also a good way for teachers to touch base with their own pupils in their personalised way of learning
-there are some interactive tools within SLS itself that can be explored
-At the end of the day, I personally feel that it's not really about the various and numerous ICT tools that we use but it's about the quality of the 1 or 2 tools, the flow in every lesson and the 2-way interaction with pupils that matter]]> 2020-04-28 10:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535896078 tanshiwei https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535997199 - Lesson Recordings allow pupils to learn at their own pace. I feel this would benefit more of our weaker pupils.
- Introducing a new tool, which can be fancy, takes effort to learn. Repeating tools and question types where possible can help  pupils focus better on applying the relevant concept or skill. Including these considerations at the start of the topic can be more beneficial than changing things along the way.
For P2 Word Problems, my pupils took 1 or 2 days to start using the drawing tool for equations correctly. On lesson 2 of the unit, I reviewed how to use the drawing tool, and highlighted good HBL examples (idea from Jesslyn). The problem was mostly out of the way by lesson 3, where pupils simply used it to present their equations (and less to experiment with drawing).
- Some pupils may have difficulty understanding written instructions due to dyslexia. I suspect I have a student like that, and included mp3 recordings of all my instructions for one lesson. I found that she attempted more questions than the usual 'idk' or 'ok'. I find video and audio recordings to be useful for ensuring our lessons can be accessed by all students.]]> 2020-04-28 10:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/535997199 https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536060779
Pupils learn at their own pace. Teachers able to customise to pupils’ needs. SLS interactive thinking tool very useful as I find many of my quieter pupils opening up through this tool. Downside is time spent reading and responding to each pupil. Also, tend to go back earlier lessons to check if there’s new comments or response to my comments. Parents very supportive. 

AFI
Learning curve too steep for me as not IT savvy. Took longer time than my younger counterparts to customise or craft my HBL lessons. Hope for more handholding as would like to be more confident in this new norm especially in video conferencing through Zoom and google meet and e marking. ]]> 2020-04-28 11:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536060779 https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536064741 AFI 
I feel I have over prepared my lessons. Should do fewer activities and allow pupils some breathing space to digest materials on a deeper level. ]]> 2020-04-28 11:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536064741 jasteosp https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536416288 There is sharing of lesson ideas among teachers and pupils are more able to reflect using given interactive tools to access learning.

AFI
Various functions of SLS responses need to be learnt to make sure lessons can be carried out effectively. It is a steep learning curve to get lessons prepare perfectly. ]]> 2020-04-28 13:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/536416288 weesiewkwan https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/537852730 Grateful to both the Level & ICT reps to prepare the lesson packages so that we're able to customise the lessons to suit our pupils' needs.
Pupils could learn at their own pace.
Learnt to use the various tools in SLS. It's an enriching experience for me. Would love to learn more on the use of the tools. Never too old to learn

AFI
Maybe demonstrations on how to use the tools effectively could be carried out for teachers who aren't IT savvy. ]]> 2020-04-29 00:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/537852730 https://padlet.com/misselainelaiyx/hbl/wish/538395628 Good practice-
1) Maths Lesson flow is observed:
Activating prior knowledge --> promoting thinking (lesson development) --> Guided Practice --> Mastery Practice

2) Varied modes of assessment via SLS tools.

AFI:
1) May need a whole school approach after this HBL to cultivate a strong online work submission system

2) The LP pupils are always in need of more support and they needed more scaffolding from us. So far, Sls lesson is pitched at MP pupils so to tailored to LP, teachers need even more time and effort. During class time is face-to-face and is immediate intervention without barrier, but in hbl, it is carried out with a distance and pupils may not receive it with the right motivation after a long 1 month hbl time.
