two pd videos
am gearing up for an afternoon workshop next monday, and these are two videos (only one to be shown) that we came across during our explorations (“thanks Matt”).
1. Sugata Mitra shows how kids teach themselves (via TED)
2. Technology Inspires Self-Directed Learning
both videos touched on SDL (self-directed learning), part of the mp3 goals
turning a normal whiteboard interactive – eBeam Engage
the first time i touched an eBeam device was 9 yrs ago, dangling cables, troublesome connections and calibration, in short there’s too many pieces of equipment to handle and by the time 1/4 of a 35-mins lesson’s gone. this morning, saw this piece of video (below) via Tucksoon, and was amazed how eBeam has continued to evolve and improve itself. one sleek device attached to the side of the board, if only i can get to play with it (:
oh btw, “Engage” reminds me of Star Trek (:
spin spin means …?
2 post about NDP2011 in one day, was trying to check the traffic advisory and the website only shows me that forever ‘spin spin’, what’s this ‘spin spin’ in the centre supposed to mean? traffic’s smooth and feel free to drive around? *duh*
and ONE.MOTORING could have provided a better service if PDF road closure maps can be directly posted for downloading, instead of hyperlinking pple to that ‘spin spin’.
so conclusion, ‘spin spin’ = smooth traffic? shall see (:
the ndp 2011 theme song mv
was trying to find out when’s the NE show this year and chanced upon this year’s theme song. first time hearing it, it’s another of those soothing series song though the singer tried very hard to inject power into the song. a very racial harmony tale depicted in the visual.
an 1-month in advance wish for the coutry, 在此预祝新加坡生日快乐，国泰民安 (:
