Sharing by Almie

I joined in slightly late and he shared about body language and some tips on how we can better engage and build rapport. For e.g. to match the energy of the class we are going to and to moderate from there instead of going in and “inflicting our own energy” onto them

He also shared how storytelling could be used to better promote and retain certain concepts/knowledge #doublemcspicy

Thank you for your insightful sharing!

Peer Support Sharing on Sociograms

2025-03-06 05:03:58 UTC

I had the opportunity to share my knowledge in the Connectogram Beta tool for teachers to explore the power of using a Sociogram to understand class-based peer support networks. I appreciate the small group setting and the chance to share with easy open communication, taking questions and thoughts from the teachers as they come. It was a relaxing session that allowed us to experience authentic learning and sharing through exchange of ideas.

I took away how PD can also happen in very informal, organic settings rather than the common belief that PD can only take place in formally structured training sessions with extensive use of teaching and learning tools or deep reflections. Having such platforms piques the curiosity of our colleagues and puts them in a good position to want to learn more, knowing that the commitment to a short and informal sharing session is a low-lying fruit.

Learned about the useful sociogram tool in All Ears from Benny. Excited about the information that can be gathered on class dynamics such as the isolates, stars, bridges, connectors and cliques. These information can be strategically utilised. Eager to try with own Form Class.

Reflections from my sharing about the use of AI in my work

2025-03-06 05:06:43 UTC

Thank you for all the thought provoking questions from those who attended my sharing over coffee which also helped me to reflect on my approaches on the use of AI and the affordances of Pair vs ChatGPT.

This format is very suitable for sharing what I have done as I am able to adjust the direction of my sharing to what my fellow colleagues are interested in finding out.

I attended Benny's sharing and learnt how to assign this tool to my classes via All-Ears. I also learnt how the tool will be useful to me in learning about the interactions between my students so that I can identify students who may need help and also to identify students that i can talk to in order to learn more about the relations between the students in the class. The small group sharing also encouraged me to ask questions freely as it was a cozy setting.

Thank you Benny!

Sharing by Clement on Pair Chat

sohguatee1 — 2025-03-06 08:35:33 UTC

I was amazed by how useful the tool Pair Chat is. It is a secure version of ChatGPT that caters especially to public officers as the underlying LLM technology works in the context of Singapore. It has many uses such as writing of testimonials, design of questions based on lesson materials provided, coming up with lesson plans. You can even do a role reversal whereby you get Pair Chat to devise questions to obtain the info you need to complete tasks. I am motivated to try Pair Chat to help me achieve greater efficiency in my work.

I appreciate the candor and wisdom of Lawrence, Alvin and Huayi in sharing their experiences. It helped me to reframe my mindset to see that a problem may not actually be a problem, but it is my perspective that made it one. I really liked the idea of River Kwai/Kai (?) and I am inspired to want to use this so that I can be a more reflective teacher. Thank you for giving me the chance to learn!
