Thrive Reflection 10 - Online PD for Cluster (initial idea)

 How can the next cluster PD be for D&T teachers in Oct 2022?

Should we have face-to-face or Zooms or both?

In the sharing of google classroom - how can I arrange it to answer the question of affordance of google classroom - tools and agents. Tools provided the features (utility) and agents such as human see how these features can be used for learning (usability)

How can the zoom be non-lecture style and model interactivity, connectedness and reflectivity?

In the sharing of drawing and sketching to design - clearly face-to-face is better. What happens if we still cannot meet face-to-face? How can we demonstrate with devices like what I did for google cardboard, physical tools like PLD, physical learning aid?

It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community. If I were to do it again, how can self-assessment be better embedded in the activity and facilitated? How to design a worksheet that embeds self-assessment? You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
