校本教師專業發展 2018-2019

Ms Chow presented a school case titled “Using e-Learning (Popplet) to enhance the teaching of writing” to demonstrate one of the pre-writing strategies – using mind mapping with the help of an e-tool (Popplet) to brainstorm / organize ideas with students. Dr. Bai, the host of the series of PD workshops, also demonstrated more strategies to teach self-regulated skills using different e-Learning resources.

This was a workshop titled“Building connections between reading and writing” – how reading as input would influence writing as output. Some strategies of transferring reading to writing were introduced and practised. Teachers had hands-on practise to plan writing from reading.

Participants were introduced with a number of e-tools e.g. Google doc, Kahoot, Epic, Mentimetre, Popplet, Padlet, Seesaw, Google form, Google slide, etc to facilitate teaching and learning of reading and writing skills.

Dr. Barry Bai, the head of the QTN scheme, delivered a three-hour talk on introducing various reading and writing strategies for Primary teachers to adopt. These strategies were believed to be keys to help students learn self-regulating skills during reading and writing. Participants formed groups to co-plan teaching procedures of a text.
