Think of a lesson which you have facilitated, which aspect of your facilitation would you replace with technology and why? by WL https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d eLearning Fundamentals (Introduction to eLearning tools) en-us 2018-03-26 07:33:15 UTC 2026-01-29 10:56:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Hi, can you elaborate more on this? :) xu_weiling https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/246753264 2018-03-28 03:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/246753264 As some of my engineering modules are transiting to Interactive Session, I would like to use mobile technology to do some quiz to break the monotonous of the lesson and at the same time reinforce the learning along the way. https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/246907552 WL: Some of the digital tools you can use for creating quizzes includes Kahoot!, Socrative. For polling, you can consider Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter. Will be sharing a list of digital tools during the face-to-face session on Wed :)

However a vast majority of these scenarios are 'paper' exercises as it would not be practical to bring students out to a real venue or space every week. Also, having all five class teams going through the same venue can get quite repetitive observations and  solutions. Would be great to have some kind of virtual walk-through of different spaces or venues even if completely made up or based on actual spaces. 

WL: Some VR applications would be great (if we can find it on the internet) however, these might require some development cost and time. ]]> 2018-03-29 06:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/247148310 Cognitive Apprenticeship https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/247720266 I am dwelling into CA component and not PBL. Hands on techniques can be viewed on videos and re-enforced with real live demonstration to increase learning retention. Online quizzes can be done before or after the classes to gauge student's understanding and learning for the day.
WL: We will share some common quiz or polling tools in the face-to-face session on Wed. :)]]> 2018-04-02 02:02:13 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/247720266 Virtual reality https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/247962906 I concur with what a fellow participant has shared about using virtual simulation to achieve authentic experiences for the students, especially if practicality is an issue. Nowadays, virtual reality lesson can be created by using relatively cheaper equipment such as mobile phone coupled with google glasses. I am now dabbling with a critical thinking module. To assess students on thinking disposition, performance based assessment in an authentic environment might be more viable. To go around the issue of massive logistical nightmares of arranging outdoor experiences and etc, using virtual simulation might be the key to achieve similar authentic context as outdoor experiences.  ]]> 2018-04-03 01:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/247962906 PBL --> GBL https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248005956 2018-04-03 07:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248005956 I believe that the lecturers' summary can be conducted online. A lot of times, students have switched off by the time we get to the end of the lesson, seeing this energy in the class, I have the tendency to speed up my summary. Perhaps if students are allowed to receive the summary as an e-learning component in the comfort of their own home on the night of the lesson- they would be in a better frame of mind to absorb the recap of the lesson. This can also help to feed into the submission of the RJ. So students perform the e-learning and then write their RJ. https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248013332

Students already use tools like Google documents on their own and sometimes I find this counterproductive to the spirit of PBL where they are supposed to share instead of type on their documents on their own. I have had to ban the use of laptops so that my students would speak to one another and not get distracted by the other apps on their laptops (so many of them are on skype during lessons). https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248342803 2018-04-04 01:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248342803 Classroom app by APPLE. https://padlet.com/republicpolytechnic/t1zyxcgeu7d/wish/248342818 as it will lock devices into a single app to help students focus. Also it will lock screens to pause work or refocus your class.

Upon deeper reflection (and a moment of annoyance with my students for submitting poor work), I thought about the possibility of using video content creation tools to present instead of using powerpoint  or using Canva, Glogster and ThingLink to create posters or infographics instead of PPT or flipchart presentations. This would bring the level up from Augmentation or Modification as functional improvement would occur and to some extent tasks can be redesigned (if they create videos instead of just posters). Question is: Who to teach them? I am not the best equipped but their seniors may be. So some form of peer-learning may need to take place.
