I
returned to Singapore during the second week of July. I
conducted workshops based on Web
2.0 and Podcasting technologies.
The focus was upon education and curriculum integration
combined with hands-on activities. I spent the Sunday morning
in Bukit Batok where I had breakfast. After that I took
a train into the city and picked up a copy of Premiere
Elements as well as a CD by Lynyrd Skynyrd for a friend,
Evan. While I was in the Funan Centre I took some photographs
of a clock speed competition for computer specialists.
Some of the teams were using dry-ice to keep the computers
cool!
On the Monday I conducted a session on Web
2.0 technologies for educators from across Singapore. On Tuesday I facilitated
a podcasting workshop for staff of Nanyang
Technological University (NTU) and the National Institute of Education (NIE).
That was followed by Web 2.0 and podcasting
workshops on the Wednesday and Thursday for second language teaching curriculum
experts from the Ministry of Education. I concluded the week with a Web
2.0 workshop for NTU and NIE staff. One night I attended a meeting
of individuals from across Singapore that are interested in Web 2.0. That
was an interesting night. The trip finished with a great dinner shared with Vivien
and Paul from the Centre for Educational Development at NTU. I will be going
back in October. Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
