How adults plan and monitor for a day

I asked my students to plan and reflect on the day. How will I do it as an adult? Using Pomodoro based on my needs. Below is a record of how I planned and evolved with my plan for a Sunday work at the National Library after a good rest the day before and how I use GPT to think if there is a way that can better cater to different people to plan for the day.

11.30 - 13.50 - Planning and providing predictive process and outcome for EPMS (2 hr 20 min without a break)

13.50 - 1430 - Longer Break (took longer than I planned)

15.15 - 18.30 - Write about how we can code sketches for creativity (finalised 3 judges' codes) and Test code on AS and SA and explain in ppt (2.5 hours) - but hijacked by my creative mind to prepare a slide for D&T conference

18.30 - 19.30 - Long break dinner

18.30 - 20.00  Self-reflection in action - a new way to reflect as practitioners (1.5 hours)

04.30 - 06.30 Use AI Rabbit Research on possible articles to analyse sketches for creativity

Final Takeaways for Teens

✅ Keep planning simple – Use a 3-block schedule instead of rigid time slots.
✅ Prioritize wisely – Rank tasks as A, B, C to avoid overwhelm.
✅ Use the Pomodoro method – Study in short bursts with breaks.
✅ Schedule fun & breaks intentionally – Prevent burnout.
✅ Reflect at the end of the day – Build self-awareness & habit formation.

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...
