Chatting with David Buckingham

It is a wonderful experience for the past 7 days. Through the Pop Culture conference in HKIEd, I attended a series of presentations by David Buckingham and various media educators. A lot of hot issues have been discussed inlcuding: media education 2.0, media literacy, multiple literacies, visual semiotics, blog, web2.0 etc.

Yesterday, it is my pleasure for me to have a half hour consultation with David Buckingham. Prof Buckingham is full of wisdom and gave me a lot of reference readings upon my research agenda. To conclude, the visual analysis method on students' produced video is under development and the existing anaylsis tool is waiting for further research support.

In view of the non-written mode IES in Liberal Studies on the NSS curriculum, it is still a challanging job to develop a valid assessment tool under the school based assessment.

Stephen Heppell: Railway as school, going the wrong way

Hong Kong people are having hot debate on building a great railway costing 68 billion. The so called Post 80 (those born after 80') strongly against the railway as it is too expensive and not necesary. Stephen Heppell, famous ICT scholar, gave a speech about Learning at 2016, mentioned that a few years ago UK built a perfect railway but however, people brought their own cars. Stephen mentioned our school is same as the railway, mobile learning is having great breakthrough on learning while we still regard our school as a perfect railway. Part of Stephen's speech is attached as some hints about railway, school and the pattern of post 80 learning. Full version of Stephen speech http://www.teachers.tv/video/4957

隔離孤立的電子學習 — 小學老師的角度

教育科技是一個專業範疇,而 eLearning 是這專業範疇內的一個項目,雖然一般大眾只關注 eLearning,並不太了解教育科技。從來文獻都是硏究教育科技如何協助教與學,eLearning 本身定義卻是流動未定,效能仍有待更多的研究探討。 有幸於疫情期間協助一位小學教師利用 Google Site 建立網上英語自學資源網站,之後該老師所屬小學同一 Form 的英文教師都跟著採用 Google Site 製作相近的英語自學資源網站。老師們根據課程進度,由三月開始每一星期都製作並發放英語電子學習資源網站。網站內容包括該星期的學習目標、配上旁白的簡佈、相關 YouTube 參考錄像、附加趣味參考資料、習作和小測驗。 初初嘗試,老師們遇到很多技術問題。教學經驗豐富的老師,熟悉課程,卻是製作網上學習的初哥,一系列的技術問題都可以令老師放棄 mission impossible, 例如如何給簡佈配上旁白,變成 mp4 檔案上存到 Google Drive,再內嵌到 Google Site 網頁。對本人而言製作過程是輕而易舉,但對一般老師卻是一堆堆外星程序,困難過上太空,雖然五十年前人類已經上了月球。 撇除一般簡佈加旁白和轉為 mp4 的技術問題(一般老師在此已行人止步),老師遇到最大的難題是資源擋案和網頁分享權限的開放,是的,兩種權限開放是兩種不同的步驟。部分 IT level 初階的教師,要花一段時間才明白如果內嵌 Google Drive 檔案資源到 Google Site 網頁,要首先開放 Google Drive 內可分享資源檔案的權限,再開放 Google Site 網頁的權限,用家才能閱讀到網頁內的分享資源。 一般而言,老師是用自己家中枱頭電腦製作 Google Site 資源網頁,完成後獲得可分享超連結,然後審視網頁超連結是否正常顯示內容,資源檔案是否能夠觀看。老師往往用同一枱頭電腦審視網頁超連結,因為剛剛在 Google Drive 和 Google Site 分享檔案和製作網頁,自然不會出現看不到 Google Drive 分享資源的問題。但當分享 Google Site 網頁超連結給學生時,就收到家長 feedback,為什麼看不到個別簡報、Google Document 等資源,才發現 Google Drive 分享資源的權限未開放。最後他們學懂用 e...
