Good workshop by Apple
professional development leader. His activities made me pause and reflect. He made use of the four corner strategy and
gotten us to take our stand on the statements made. Indeed it helped us to look at how different
we interpreted the statements. Then he also got us to look at a question on
whether a 40 cm pizza which cost 40 zed has more value for money as compared to
a 30 cm pizza which cost 30 zed. Rather than using a mathematical approach,
many have interpreted value in a different way. The activities allowed me to see how different
people express themselves in different ways and how we can approach the same
statement/problem in different ways.The activities reminded us that we can set mindful
activities to level up creativity and that we can utilise technology
effectively for learning. Technology enables the teacher to connect with big
group who learn differently. Technology also enables
teachers who are also good in their teaching to put in the structure for cognitive
demand – to allow the students to be engaged in a way in which they are able to
interact with content.
Break out into our subject group. We were tasked to look at landscape and publishing in our group. Showed the other two teachers how we could uses sketches school which I learned in the last training to do a sketch and annotation. Started with importing the photo, reduce transparency, remove the photo and then annotate.
The padlet which different groups shared their ideas.
Two teachers shared their lessons using Pages
and one of them is my colleague. Very impressed on how his project-based
learning allowed the students to reflect and deepen their thoughts as well as expand
their creativity.
