Reflection from Alan Goh
Internet connectivity and advancement in tools enable us to design our learning space
1. Learning is personal – We take ownership of our personal or professional learning in the learning communities.
We dictate what we want to learn? How we want to learn? Who we want to learn from?
2. Implications on being connected – tools, content, community. Self-awareness is critical as we are visible in the community. We should be aware how we represent ourselves when participating in the community exchange.
Reflection from Hidayah
As we move towards a shift in the education landscape, we have to be well equipped about the fundamentals and the ecosystem of how the tools and applications function. Only then can effective teaching and learning take place. As a teacher, we need to be prepared that what we want to teach may be taken to another level when our students explore other platforms to extend their learning experience. It is then crucial that the teacher be the pivotal point to assess what is relevant.
Pauline's Insights...
One question that struck me this morning is
It seems that we may be sometimes assuming that our students know how to learn in the ICT-enriched learning environment, especially as they are supposedly "THE" digital natives". But why is it still so difficult for teachers to seamlessly integrate technology into T&L? Maybe we should rethink how we can do this better by considering the needs of our students who may not know what they don't know before even thinking of how to engage them in this learning environment to design for learning to happen.
So maybe the first step for myself would be to reflect how differently I am learning now (either at work or building my interests) vs how I used to learn when I was in school...
"How to engage those who don’t know what they don’t know?".

Reflections from Hwee Hwee
As teachers, we need to understand our students well. This includes building good rapport with them and tapping on their familiarity in the digital space to enhance their learning. We need to believe in our students and not to show any biases towards any one.
Teachers need to be brave to explore the different types of technology so that we can tap on the affordances of the technology for teaching and learning. Being familiar with the tools also helped teachers to be able to provide the necessary and appropriate advices to students.
