| Hougang Primary School ~ Podcast Workshops |

The following photographs were taken Hougang
Primary School.
Wai Tuck, my friend at the school had emailed some teaching
programmes
from
the
school and
I generated some ideas for possible podcasting scenarios
in preparation for today’s podcast workshop.
I arrived
at the school at 7:30AM and Wai Tuck graciously organised
some breakfast for me. I had spaghetti with a spicy curry,
plus some juice, fruit and coffee. Singaporean schools
have excellent canteens with a large variety of freshly
cooked hot food ~ Chinese, Malay, Indian and even Western
food. I had a nice curry with rice, chicken and dried anchovies
for lunch as well. Beautiful!
I conducted two podcast
workshops today. One was held in
the morning from 9:00AM to 12:30PM for those staff that
taught during the afternoon shift at the school. Then I
conducted a second workshop from 1:30PM till 4:30PM for
those staff that taught in the morning.
Singaporean teachers
do work very hard. The school day starts with assembly
at 7:30AM each day and completes at 6:00PM. There were
about 90 participants in all. All of the participants were
attending the workshop during their free time. The teachers
often conduct and supervise extra curricular activities
before or after teaching time and as a result the average
teacher is spending approximately ten hours each day at
school. Read the blog.
