🛠️ Application & Next Steps

1. What is one idea you can apply in your classroom / department work?
   
   

• AI brings great opportunities to adaptive and personalised learning (metacognition).

• AI promotes efficiency in my professional work to automate marking and feedback & power learner analytics to improve curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.

What are my takeaways? What's the Aha moment?

• Value-adding human (tacit/metacognitive) intelligence supplemented by artificial intelligence

• Learning about AI to make wise decisions to use it safely and effectively

• Aha Moment- Our human intelligence needs to be sharpened with a reframed mindset that we must work doubly hard to leverage on AI in order to reason/ problem-solve, instead of over-relying AI.

What is one idea I can apply in my classroom/ department work?

Make use of data (quantitative marks and affective evidence from students' reflections) to achieve data analytical information for recommendations to help students in building positive metacognitive habits and eventually harnessing developed self-competencies to thrive in the community/society/world.

Key factors in generative AI include data, algorithms and processing power which collectively drive its performance and capabilities. However, several challenges mist be addressed, such as data protection, privacy concerns, and the potential overreliance on AI systems. According to the survey finding, there is a clear need for individuals to learn how to use AI tools both safely and effectively. Understanding responsible AI usage is essential to maximizing its benefits while minimising risks. As AI continues to evolve, developing digital literacy and ethical awareness will be critical in ensuring its integration into society is thoughtful and secure.

Class Companion is an AI marking platform that provides students immediate feedback on their writing assignments. It offers instant, personalised feedback, allowing students to pause, engage, and revise their work immediately.

What are my takeaways? What's the Aha moment?

• Class Companion is useful for open writing assignments such as compositions that do not need to conform to specific concepts/ structures eg Sc. Feedback is given through the teacher's feeds while preparing the assignment or teacher can make use of the AI-assistant.

• Class Companion allows uploads of files as AI reference so that the in-built Ditto bot is able to provide appropriate responses, eg as clarifying questions that make students engage in metacognitive activities . The bot responses may not necessarily be information download.

• Marking rubric can be inserted to assist the scoring of the students' submissions.

• 95% of handwritten students' work can be read by the AI.

• Real time monitoring of students' submissions, questions asked to bot and a general sensing of inaccuracies/ errors can be made. For the last point, teacher can do a just-in-time teaching. reteaching or unteaching so that students can benefit from. There is no time lapse between students' submission due date and teacher's feedback for class learning or for individual student.

  
  

What is one idea I can apply in my classroom/ department work?

I will try with students' PSLE Paper 1 practices to explore its efficacy as an AI marking platform.

Metacognition plays a key role in learning, involving three important aspects: reflecting on and evaluating one’s performance, noticing and examining one’s learning , and planning, orchestrating, and regulating the learning process. To become metacognitive learners, students engage in different stages. Before learning, they develop awareness of their thinking, set goals, identify learning purposes, and choose suitable strategies. During learning, they apply, monitor, and adjust these strategies as needed. After learning, students evaluate how effective their strategies were and reflect on how to improve them for future learning. This ongoing cycle enhances self-directed learning and supports deeper understanding and growth.

5. This concept is a very relevant to all teachers as we all know how important to teach within the ZPD of a learner.

   
   

🔍 Understanding & Key Takeaways

1. What are 2–3 key takeaways from the session?

a. the science of learning revolves around seeing, connecting & transferring of new knowledge.

b. the principle of minimum guidance in scaffolding - when build of cognitive effort is on the learner, it means minimum guidance and teachers should start with this.

c. we need to deliberately design our teaching to incorporate productive failure

2. Was there a "lightbulb moment" during the workshop? Describe it.

so many... very enjoyable sessions as there are so many touchpoints in my prior knowledge...

🛠 Application & Next Steps

1. What is one idea you can apply in your classroom / department work?

use ai to help incorporate the concept of building in productive failure in lesson planning

The points are:

1. Choice of Digital Tools must be efficient and equitable

2. Students watched the video and answered SLS questions.

3. Students used 21st CC skills to answer questions.

   
   

4. DI - HP, MP and LP and Classkick was used

5. Quiz was used to identify learning gaps

   
   

   Personal Reflection

Tools must be chosen carefully when we teach Science in class. It is good to choose the right tool so that students are engaged.

Various ICT tools can enhance English lessons effectively. For instance, Writer's Toolbox provides instant feedback to students. Book reviews can be transformed into videos, while Google Classroom supports writing journals. Little Red Dot serves as a platform for extensive reading. Classkick is useful for assessment for learning (AfL), and Nearpod increases student engagement and supports differentiation (DI) and AfL.

Additionally, the LangFA Assistant on SLS offers further AfL support, promoting more interactive and reflective learning experiences in the English classroom.
