My principal has emailed to remind all of us to practice self-care and to make sure that we don’t burn out over this period. If school resumes from 5 May, there will still be the catching up of curriculum to do. We need to be able to sustain ourselves for the longer term ahead.
Posting this as I was sharing with another Geography teacher, Shups Lim, how I alternate between SLS and Google Meet for HBL. After the SLS lesson in one lesson, I will address any misconceptions or AFI when I Google meet them next lesson. I alternate SLS and Google meet (teaching and clarifying) so that they are not overwhelmed. I will also present my screen showing the SLS lesson under monitor and address some of the concerns ( misconceptions, not relevant to the Geog issues, lack of explanation or details).
SLS can be "live" too using the interactive thinking tool. No need to Google Meet every lesson. I think we have to go easy with HBL. No need to force all learning within one lesson. The HBL can stretch over the following lessons if needed. HBL is a unique experience and we must be mindful that HBL is not just e-learning. Focus on how learning is delivered and not completing all the teaching over the e-platforms.
My plan is of course not perfect. I failed in some areas too. But I learn and modify. Ha ha I must say I learn more than ever. Just look at the tons of resources created in the last few days plus the physical setup at home for HBL

Thanks to all the teachers for sharing on the community library in SLS. I have also been modifying some lessons on community library and sharing. I have shared one on interpreting geographical data on tectonic hazards https://vle.learning.moe.edu.sg/community-gallery/lesson/view/a9387062-5ff7-4039-8a21-9de905e6f5b8
I have modified and submitted another lesson on climograph. I think it is not approved yet. I have modified it from a lesson submitted by former colleague who had used my explanation on my blog how to create climograph using excel. I have changed that to using Google sheet as I feel that it is more readily accessible by the students compared to excel. To prepare them for future readiness on learning how to create a combo chart using Google sheet.
My write-up here on my blog. How to create scatter graphs, combo charts and beach profile as well. http://ezitnew.blogspot.com/2019/04/google-sheets-to-generate-graphs.html?m=1
