grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-17 01:22:16 UTC

Question 2: How can the AI tool address specific challenges or enhance your current practices? (Maybe related to T & L 0r administrative practice)

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-17 01:23:36 UTC

Question 3: How intuitive is the user interface of the AI tool, and does it align with your comfort level with technology?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-17 01:24:58 UTC

Question 4: After trying out this AI tool, what do you like or dislike about it?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-17 01:25:41 UTC

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-29 02:41:03 UTC

My group is exploring the AI tool in helping us design our worksheets. Magic School AI is a set of tools for assisting teachers with developing lesson plans, designing assignments, generating materials, creating newsletters, and several other tasks.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-29 02:41:55 UTC

AI can address challenges by providing personalised learning experiences and enhancing classroom engagement, regardless of different needs of the students and deficient resources. AI-powered educational platforms can adapt content to individual student needs.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-29 02:47:58 UTC

The AI system understands the user's intention and carries out the corresponding actions. This interface brings a new level of convenience and accessibility and it makes technology feel more intuitive and human-like. It does to some extent align with my comfort level.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-01-29 02:49:56 UTC

After trying out the selected tool, I like it to some extent as it helps generate ideas and enhances teaching.

Lixuan

hong_li_xuan — 2024-01-29 06:04:45 UTC

We explored Eduaide.ai. It helps to come up with lesson plans, slides content, practices and even gamification ideas with just a few keywords. It can even help to enhance your objective.

Lixuan

hong_li_xuan — 2024-01-29 06:05:39 UTC

The AI tool can help come up with ideas for scaffolding, coming up with additional practice for students (DI), and make lessons more engaging by suggesting gamification ideas.

Lixuan

hong_li_xuan — 2024-01-29 06:05:53 UTC

It's quite intuitive and easy to use.

Lixuan

hong_li_xuan — 2024-01-29 06:07:45 UTC

I think one of its limitations is that it's a paid product (we tried using free trial).

BUT! I think that the functions can also work on ChatGPT (which is completely free) as long as we key in the appropriate keywords. So the paid app (EduAide) gives me a good idea of HOW I can use AI to help me.

Nazreen

2024-01-29 22:45:21 UTC

We explored using magicschool to create questions on linking verbs for the p1.

AI is a poweful tool that can help us to cut down teacher' s time in crafting questions, lesson planning ot even on how to have talk moves.

2024-01-29 22:46:39 UTC

It is user friendly as long as user knows their objective and learning outcome clearly.

2024-01-29 22:47:34 UTC

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-01-31 05:17:22 UTC

Magicschool - song generator, choice board, multiple explanations

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-01-31 05:18:58 UTC

The AI tool can help to generate ideas. Eg the use of multiple explanations helps to generate clearer explanations to help with students understanding.

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-01-31 05:20:29 UTC

User friendly, quite easy to navigate.

Teacher needs to be clear of what she wants to achieve/generate (eg lesson objective).

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-01-31 05:21:45 UTC

Many different tools to use and try out

Dislike

When we first signed up for Magicschool, it gave us the full access for 14 days. Not sure what are the tools available in the free version.

Nadirah

2024-02-02 01:36:44 UTC

Magicschool. Many functions. One that stood out was the multiple explanations

Nadirah

2024-02-02 01:38:08 UTC

The multiple explanation tool allowed for alternatives to improve students' understanding. I can see myself using this tool more in the future.

Nadirah

2024-02-02 01:39:15 UTC

The user interface is easy to navigate and understand.

Nadirah

2024-02-02 01:40:22 UTC

What Chermaine said.

Nazreen

2024-02-02 01:50:10 UTC

it is user friendly and easy to navigate through as long as teacher is clear of her learning outcomes.

Nazreen

2024-02-02 01:51:57 UTC

Helps to generate ideas, craft worksheets in the shortest time

However, some of the AI tools must pay in order to enjoy the benefits

Zu

nvps1 — 2024-02-02 02:24:32 UTC

AI helps in cutting down time for lesson preparation and generation of ideas.

Zu

nvps1 — 2024-02-02 02:25:16 UTC

It is user friendly and easy to navigate after one round of trial.

Sharon

2024-02-02 02:27:34 UTC

Eduaide

It is similar to chatgpt except that it requires subscription after 10 trials. It generates lesson plan, discussion questions and even debate pointers.

Sharon

2024-02-02 02:28:11 UTC

For p1, the group shared that AI mainly helped with planning and preparation of the resources.

Sharon

2024-02-02 02:29:23 UTC

User-friendly provided the user knows clearly what he/she wants. When AI tries to enhance the topic, if user does not know what he/she wants, the results may not be useful.

Zu

nvps1 — 2024-02-02 02:30:06 UTC

Likes: Many tools available to help teachers in creating respources.

Dislike: Full access is a paid version

Sharon

2024-02-02 02:30:47 UTC

It speeds up the processing time. However, there might be homogeneity and no creativity in the result.

Topic 4: Vocab and Grammar

WALT:

name different types of vehicles.
sort the vehicles into groups.

(based on given WALT in GL)

Zunaidah

nvps1 — 2024-02-16 02:45:52 UTC

Sharing the WALT statement with the students will help students focus on what they are going to learn for that lesson.

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-02-16 02:46:01 UTC

1) Difference between confused and clarified WALT intentions.

2) To be consistent in referring to the WALT statements during lessons.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-02-16 02:46:35 UTC

I have learnt to make a clearer distinction between WALT statements and success criteria.

Sharon

2024-02-16 02:47:47 UTC

In the first CT, there was discussion on the differences between Learning Objective and Success Criteria, namely WALT and WILF. It gave me a better understanding on what their purposes are and the importance of using them appropriately to guide students in their learning.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-02-16 02:50:19 UTC

to be mindful of forming clear and achievable WALT statements as well as writing them in ways which the young learners can understand.

Zunaidah

nvps1 — 2024-02-16 02:50:26 UTC

Need to ensure that the WALT statements can be understood by the students.
To revisit the WALT often during the teaching of the lesson.

Sharon

2024-02-16 02:50:37 UTC

The use of appropriate verbs to distinguish between WALT and WILF. E.g. In WALT, focus on learning words such as "identify", "understand". In WILF, focus on observable verbs such as "write", "list".

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-02-16 02:50:57 UTC

It may not be easy to co-construct success criteria with the class, especially in lower primary.

Shall try co-constructing with the class for writing lesson (eg. start a sentence with capital letter and end with fullstop).

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-02-16 02:53:00 UTC

Consistent in referring to WALT statements during lessons

WALT statements should be simple for students to understand as well.

Sharon

2024-02-16 02:53:06 UTC

The need to strive a balance between PRODUCT and PROCESS SC. In the teaching and learning of EL, we are more inclined to focus on Product SC. There needs to be a greater emphasis to the students that the process of learning is equally important.

Zunaidah

nvps1 — 2024-02-16 02:53:48 UTC

To co construct Sucess Criteria with student might take more time.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-02-16 02:54:37 UTC

It is rather difficult to draw a distinct line between the process and the product of the success criteria. Sometimes one needs more than one lesson ( the process )to achieve the product for the success criteria. At times, the process and product of the success criteria cannot be achieved in one lesson.

Zunaidah

nvps1 — 2024-02-16 02:55:41 UTC

I used to think that the learning intentions are visited at the beginning and the end of the lesson, but now I learnt that it is important to revisit the learning intentions during the lesson as well.

Sharon

2024-02-16 02:56:05 UTC

It is important that learning intentions are clearly communicated with students. Good practice is to do this both verbally and visually.

Nadirah

2024-02-16 02:56:08 UTC

I used to confuse learning intentions with success criteria and combine them as SIOs but now I learned that they should be thought of separately.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-02-16 03:03:06 UTC

I used to think that learning objectives are the only ways to measure the success of the lesson, but now I know that success criteria are equally important for a lesson as they determine whether our students have learnt from the lesson intentions.

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-02-16 03:18:52 UTC

I used to confuse learning intentions and success criteria but now I learned that these are different.

T1W8

hong_li_xuan — 2024-02-23 02:23:28 UTC

Success criteria:

I can name two vehicles.
I can group vehicles according to "by land", "by sea", "by sky".

hong_li_xuan — 2024-02-23 02:24:33 UTC

Success criteria:

I can name two vehicles.
I can group vehicles according to "by land", "by sea", "by sky".

Grammar

WALT:

Identify describing words in sentences.

Success Criteria (Grammar)

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-02-23 02:30:19 UTC

I can circle describing words in sentences.

Nazreen

2024-02-23 02:42:46 UTC

WALT and WILF seems to be overlapping at times. Also difficult to co-construct success criteria with pupils.

TTT -Term 2 Week 3

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-05 02:50:37 UTC

I used to think...... Now, I think ......

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-11 13:56:39 UTC

I used to think that all students response system can only provide data for formative assessment . Now I think that it can perform more functions such as helping the teacher to analyse the data to understand the students' learning more effectively and to use the data to generate differentiated learning tasks for the different ability students.

Grace- Lesson Planning

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-19 02:30:23 UTC

This is a lesson on quantifiers.

FA element: Students answer simultaneously. All responses are captured.

What questions do you have about CCE facilitation?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-25 14:13:21 UTC

Grace: When do we stop the discussion if it is a very fruitful and meaningful one for the entire class of students?

What would be interesting to investigate and learn more about?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-25 14:16:56 UTC

Grace: It would be interesting to know how one can take a step back in the discussion as a CCE faciliator.

What are your key takeaway from the CCE facilitation workshop?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-26 02:56:48 UTC

Grace: I had learnt how to lead a group of students to be engaged in the fruitful discussion by looking at some facilitation strategies found in the CCE guide.

Exit Ticket: State briefly one takeaway about Exit tickets from the ICT sharing on 17 April 2024.

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-26 02:57:59 UTC

Grace: Exit ticket helps the teacher to find out not only how much the students have leant, but also helps the teacher to conduct follow-up lesson for them

State briefly any questions you have about Exit Ticket?

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-26 02:58:44 UTC

Grace: nil

CCE strategy: Indicate your choice of CCE strategy with a brief explanation on how it will be used with reference to your FTGP content.

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-04-26 03:00:43 UTC

Grace: exit ticket - Use this CCE strategy to find out if students have understood the meaning and bad and good touch.

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-05-02 15:39:40 UTC

When do we stop the discussion if it is a very fruitful and meaningful one for the entire class of students?

T2 W7

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-05-03 01:49:45 UTC

How do using exit tickets as both a formative assessment tool and a means of promoting long-term learning align with your teaching philosophy and goals for student learning?

Sharon

poi_mei_ping_sharon — 2024-05-03 02:49:42 UTC

Exit tickets provides immediate feedback on the student understanding of the concept that is taught, which allows me to make adjustment to my subsequent teaching strategies to better cater to their needs. Exit tickets also motivates active learning as students learn to summarise what they have learnt and apply it in the questions. Students also take on the reflective len as they think about how much they have learnt and what other questions they have.

Nazreen

2024-05-03 02:50:41 UTC

It helps to check if pupils understood the lesson as it gives a quick gauge for the teachers on the pupils' comprehension of the lesson taught.

When it is used as entrance ticket, it promotes long term retention of the topic taught. It encourages pupil to retain in their memories on the topics/concepts taught.

nvps1 — 2024-05-03 02:51:02 UTC

I must be mindful that the exit tickets I used can be revisited in order for the learning to be committed to long term memory. Very often exit tickets are used as part of performance but may not be part of learning as students rush to complete the task rather than spending time to work on it.

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-05-03 02:51:02 UTC

Exit tickets can be used to check for students' understanding at the end of the lesson (if they have met the SC). From there, I can address the misconceptions that students have during the next lesson.

Same questions can be posted as entrance tickets after some time to check on their understanding too.

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-05-06 12:06:56 UTC

Exit ticket can be used in any subject area at any level as formative assessment to provide teachers with authentic data. It is an informative way to check if our students are understanding the learning targets we are teaching. Well-designed exit tickets that match the learning objectives are valuable. Formative assessments like exit tickets are meant to determine where students are at in their learning along with informing instruction.

In brief, exit tickets are responses written by students to questions posed by teachers at the end of the lesson or at the beginning of the lesson. The quick, informal assessments help teachers quickly assess their students' understanding of the lesson.

Summarise exit ticket in one sentence:

Grace

grace_chan_ho_lai — 2024-05-06 13:15:45 UTC

Exit tickets are beneficial ways to encourage students to participate in the learning process and a great way to provide feedback to the teachers on a lesson.

Zu

2024-05-10 02:02:44 UTC

Exit tickets are used as a form of assessment so that they can assess students' learning in order to plan for the next lesson.

Chermaine

png_sok_cheng_chermaine — 2024-05-10 02:02:57 UTC

For teachers to check on students' understandings/misconceptions after the lesson.

Sharon

2024-05-10 02:08:23 UTC

Exit ticket is quick and fuss free formative assessment.

Nadirah

2024-05-10 02:13:44 UTC

Exit tickets allow teachers to assess students' learning for the day and decide how to continue the next lesson.
