I am a humanities teacher in YK Pao
School Secondary Division, Shanghai, China. It is a non-profit boarding school that is open to students
from diverse backgrounds. We offer a unique bilingual program, which is based
on Chinese culture while emphasizing international perspectives. I have been
teaching in this school for five years since my graduation from university
because I agree with the school values very much.
I
am also curious about using technology to enhance learning. I can feel that
students’ receptivity of new technology is even better than the educators,
which may cause huge conflict and challenge. During my visit of St. George’s
School in Rhode Island, I was impressed by the efficiency of the use of science
and technology. After that I became a member of one to one iPad Professional
Learning Community to promote using iPad for education both inside and outside
the classroom. It is very helpful for developing differentiated instructional
program to meet the academic and linguistic needs of students. I am a big fan of
hierarchical teaching, which ensures learning activities are progressively
challenging for each leaner. I would like to share more experiences with other
teachers from different backgrounds. In this blog I would like to collect different ideas of doing 1 to 1 iPad program in middle school. YK Pao School
I'm working on a book for using ipad apps to differentiate and scaffold learning. Let me know if you want to share ideas. I love using ShowMe, ScreenChomp, and Word Lens for my classes.
I have used http://kidblog.org/home/ with my students on the Ipad in order for them to reflect on their learning through writing, videos, and photos of their work. The students loved being able to comment on classmates' learning.
I teach middle school math and sometimes I have students make an Educreations production in which they have to explain to me the procedure they used to solve a multi-step math problem.
