Hi. Here is a highlight of what took place on 18 June 2008. We had an action packed day...
a.Open ended Qs performance tasks
b.NUS High School visit
c.NIE Classroom of the future

This day was an eventful one. When the presenter *Mdm Foo shared more about herself in her journey as a Master teacher, I could sense a lot of passion and dedication on her part. It was heartening to see a teacher like her with so much care for her students. She even motivated them to take part in the Olympiad in 1999.
She moved on to OE Performance Tasks with us. She combined conceptual knowledge with hands on Qs for solving. On the whole, I gathered that she has a brilliant mind. A few of us were clueless in the beginning but there were some bright sparks among us. She encouraged us to look up on the Internet for further resources.

After lunch, we proceeded to NUS High school for a briefing about the school. The Research Director welcomed us and guided us through an hour of presentation. I marvelled at the rigour of the programme. The students are stretched to the best of their abilities. The Research Director was very helpful in the questions posed by us. Some mention on the use of hostels were highlighted in the sharing too.

Around 330pm, we moved to NIE @ Boon Lay. The facilitator led us to a classroom of the future. In there, they conjured three futuristic possibilities:
a. Starbucks (eat & learn @ same time; give orders on table; play around with the tablet)
b. Learn with a game (use a video game to reinforce learning of a concept; pupils can engage in
interplay among one another)
c. Virtual classroom (seats with ID recognition/ Interactive wall/ online learning with Tr)

On the whole, I found this place so cool! However, I wonder if there will be an element of personal touch if the environment is so high tech… Hmmm… some food for thought.

Innocence


Innocence stolen without my permission
Innocence gone without my submission

Innocence lost through another’s plan
Innocence no longer for another man

Innocence turned to hatred and fear
Innocence gone, no man can come near

Innocence taken from a little girl’s heart
Innocence replaced by mistrust, you thought you were smart

Innocence disappears like dew in the sun
Innocence faded before it’s begun

Innocence obscured like a cloud over the moon
Innocence ripped away too soon
