it’s been eons since i last posted anything and the examinable essays are running behind me ……. *SCREAM*
ok 言归正传 , saw an article by Christopher D Sessums entitled “Internet Safety Discussion and Resources” and the topic would definitely be something of interest if i were back in school now (此 school 非彼 school). some words that came as a form of reminders: “online predators”, “parental supervision”, “youth victimization”, “cyberbullying”, and there’s a link to a presentation on safety entitled “5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kids Do“. interesting title? but Christ reassured readers that it’s a presentation on safety, but the download’s very slow at my end, only clocking abt 3000bytes per second? reminds me of downloads off my good old 56kbps dial-up.
real life example for (ed)voicethread
exactly 3 months ago i posted about voicethread and about 22hrs ago a comment left by a fellow singaporean CL teacher came as a pleasant surprise. he’s 德顺(his students would call him 关老师)from rulang pri sch, and he has got some real voicethreads going live! check out his reflections on his experiment with his students, and be sure to drop by his collection of voicethreads too!
great work keep it up and keep the voicethreads coming 🙂

IWB and Chinese characters recognition
alas, this is the 2nd last installament of my (feels like neverending) series of examinable assignments this semester.
it’s entitled 探索交互白板于汉字教学的应用, and the english title would read “Exploring the Use of Interactive Whiteboard for Teaching and Learning of Chinese Characters”
and to make this assignment INTERESTING, i have also put together a video demonstration on how the IWB lessons can be carried out. the voice/volume of the recording’s not too good coz my TC1100’s mic is really that lousy. choose among [Online viewing of streamed video] or [download to desktop for offline viewing, abt 20MB]
one last one to go … and there’s only less than 4 days to go … add oil add oil …

Growing up Online – A FRONTLINE special on PBS
saw links to this “Growing Up Online” production by FRONTLINE|PBS looking into the life of our youngsters. have not had the time to go through it myself, but i’m believe the issues and concerns raised in the programme would be common to us all teachers/parents and even growing up youngsters themselves? even as we are watching it we too are growing up online in a way isnt it?
here’s a direct link to some of the press responses after the broadcast of the production.
