Final Assignment

Dear Daniel, Ryan and class members:

All of us have done our tasks and made use of our blogs to share our learning. I have learned much from this module. I thank Daniel, Ryan and my class members for all their feedback and comments. I am looking forward to having more sharing in the near future. I am looking forward to having more cooperation with my partner, Lidia. After attending this module, I have great confidence in using Blog. My school parents want to learn more about Blog and want to know how to use Blog effectively. I will give help and assistance to the Parent-teacher Association (PTA) members in July 2007.

Thank you for your attention to the following five parts (A, B, C, D and E) of my FINAL ASSIGNMENT and my FINAL GROUP ASSIGNMENT:

Our Final Group Assignment "Daily Life of the Children in Cambodia" will be used with the Life Education teachers in September 2007 for Secondary One to Secondary Seven students. Happy Tree Social Services will give a briefing about the 2007 Christmas Cambodia Tour to our school students. Exhibitions will be arranged by Happy Tree Social Services at our schools, too. Students will be encouraged to pay more attention to the needy people of the world.

Life Education is an integrated curriculum composing six components, namely Social and Life Skills, Civic Education, Moral Education, Health Education, Environmental Education and Career Education. Through various learning activities, students’ moral and social values are cultivated. The curriculum is activity-based. Through learning activities like observation, exploration, case study, self-reflection, etc., students are equipped with basic knowledge and skills, and positive values and attitudes towards life are fostered.

Information Technology for Interactive Learning:
The goal of using information technology (IT) is to harness its advantage to promote interactive learning to make students learn better, not just for teachers to use IT to present the lesson in class. In designing the IT curriculum for students, we need to consider the development of students’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills.

(E) Other Resources for my school and students:

(E1) Introduction of My School Library by Digital PhotoStory:
It is a good resource for introducing the functions, facilities and activities of my school library to new students and teachers. I will use it for the new 200 Secondary One students in September 2007.

(E2) Development f Housing in Hong Kong by Slider (Flash):
It is a useful Project Learning resource for Secondary Two students. There will be a Collaborative Project Learning Activity about the “Development of Housing in Hong Kong” organized by Liberal Studies and School Library in October 2007. Students will be motivated to learn more.

(E3) Introduction of Beijing Tour by Digital PhotoStory:
Students are eager to know more about Beijing before the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. After the final term examination, my school students will be arranged and invited to watch this Digital PhotoStory about Beijing and search the website http://en.beijing2008.cn/ for more information about the 2008 Olympic Games in June 2007. I think it will be one of the most attractive activities.
