Thrive 13 - Rethinking blended learning

Reflection on a sharing on Emerging Learning Environment

Can we excite students when they learn at home with emerging technology?

Zspace, VR chat,  panoramic - pano.dpm.org.cn, Augmented reality, Immersive exhibition to a local museum - art/history/design?

Immerse and reflect on the Physical environment at home in connection to the subject

How can we elicit the three modes of creativity Creely et al. (2021) in an interactive learning environment

Storytelling - narrative pedagogy 

How then can we assess them with these emerging learning environment

Holographic technology - projected real person (futuristic)

How can we make online learning useful - we need to have a social, cognitive and teaching presence (Community of Inquiry - Garrison, Aderson & Archer, 2000).  How can students interact online as if they are face-to-face?

How do we know that the technological tool is useful (with features and easy to use) for both students and teachers that provide not just the educational affordance but also social affordances

Can we make technology easy to use for lower achievers? Orientation for use of tools?

How can we ensure the online learning meet the requirement of pedagogy (to achieve learning objective with activities that include the why-how-what to learn), Social and Technical aspects.

Can we support the students online instead of face-to-face?

Can we have time for FT to talk and plan with the students before they go HBL

Can we afford choices and pathways in online learning (e.g Choose A - C) but end up in the same distinction 

Zoom with social presence with interactivity such as breakout room with scripted interaction. e,g breakdown to discuss a solution to a problem that requires everyone to contribute in order to solve it (e.g each student hold a hint)

With technology support (such as the features) you cannot teach and help them interact. However, the primary focus is still pedagogy and the social aspect of the design.

Can we have music when they are learning or exploring online.

2024 Thrive 3 - Self-evaluation of sketching using pen

First lesson with 2I (80-min) 20 pax (10 boys & 10 girls) - The use of Ideo video as a resource to test current students' design capability through reflection was not carried out. 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...
