Lily's Reflection for Morning's Session

This morning's session reminded me the importance of making things concrete from abstract for our students. The challenge we face is how to equip teachers to with the skills  to facilitate this. 

I like the example of how teachers need to explain the concept of internet through a simple analogy of a city ie how it is connected, with good and bad people, with places are like cinema and different norms. 

This really makes it relatable and easier to understand for the students.  It is good reminder for us to consciously role model this for our teachers in our PD sessions.

My reflections:

Donaldson’s Review:  literacy, numeracy and digital competence.  It is interesting that he emphases on “digital” as it seems normal to many that we are already living in a digital world, why need to?  With fast and the evolution of technology, and with our kids the fingers and thumbs generation, it is imperative to educate them digital as part of holistic education and we should not underestimate the power and influence of the “1s and Os”.
