a.Resource Package
b.Website surfing (EDUmall/ COE Math)
c.Webquest/ Windows Video encoder/ Blogging
I had an interesting time surfing the net for Math resources using Edumall and COE @ ZE Math. Indeed, there are a plethora of resources in these 2 virtual platforms. Somehow, I wonder where did the teachers have the drive to initiate new projects in their schools? Perhaps, they attended courses in other institutions. I am inspired to start but hopefully, I can find a fuss free and enjoyable way of creating such resources.
In connection with the PETALS framework, I find these resources very useful in supporting it. I will make an effort to develop my competence in communicating Mathematics to my pupils.
For a start, I can make use of these OPEN tools to create:
WEB quest (pose follow up Qs on Learning Journey)
Blogging (reflection on the topics taught; pupils’ response; pose challenging Qs)
Last but not least, we need to work on our resource package as our final part of TWA. 4 of us came out with a topic on Money for P2. The components include:
1. Lesson plans/ Curriculum design (using PETALS framework)
2. Card game
3. Websites
4. Webquest *Interdisciplinary (tie in with HE on nutrition/ EL on food)
5. Activity sheet/ manipulative (fake money)
All these are included to make the lessons more lively and engaging for the pupils. I am eager to try out these ideas and see if this lesson plan can bring about a new energy amongst the pupils.
