Last chance to abuse tcher
Hi hi,
Today was Janice's turn to micro-teach. The silence was a little unnerving at first. Little did I know that it was the calm before the storm!
I really love all the flash stuff. I will go pick it up this hols! I must. Quite useful in customizing what we need in class, especially when we are dealing with processes. Those used by Janice were really nice. Although some minor changes here and there as mentioned in class today will be just perfect.
The structure of handout did not allow space for capturing the formation of the 3 types of rocks. So, just a space dedicated to this would be great. Because she specifically asked us to take those down.
The rock cycle diagram, I think, is too cheem already for Sec 1s. Especially when she was not pointing specifically to the components and arrows she was referring to. But if students are the adcanced type, can start with a simpler diagram, get them to understand the cycle, and then move on to the cheem one.
She had a feedback form. Hmm... something new and commendable. But personally, I won't use it after every lesson. Once in a while is ok. If not it becomes too tedious.
Okie, then all the nonsense that occurred in class, in no particular order: Chris, the crying autistic (ultra-dramatic :P) child who ran out of the class; Lly and Daffy, the new residents of the class's walk-in cabinet, and the hide-and-seek with tcher. Poor tcher! It reminds me of bollywood movies. :P Ok, back to my thoughts. I felt that she should have shown more concern on the autistic child and be really stern with the inmates of the walk-in cabinet. And a learning point, never ever lose sight of your students, even when peeping into the cabinet. And of course being more alert to the pupils in class would be better. She will have to work on this because a real class is bigger. And when new to the class, it will be very very hard if students knew that they can get away with hiding during class.

Some picts of the farm and useful signs around the farm.
The farm may not be really as clean and neat and tidy like the aerogreen tech one. But we learnt more than we thought we would. They have a row of aeroponics grown veg as well, and the guide opened the styrofoam to show us the misting underneath. Aerogreen didn't do that so we cannot see the aeroponics process up close. They have a show piece at the entrance though. And a corporate video which Oh did not have. They obviously have lots of experience with important people, like ministers both local and foreign, since it is the pride of Singapore.
