DESCRIPTION

To embark on a journey of change, one must not fear change but embrace it. Such is the mindset or internal monologue of an educator if they are to move along with societal change that invariably will affect how children are to learn or be taught in schools today. This session will trace the journey of how the presenter went on a journey to bring about change in the classroom guided by her belief and perception of what education should be about. It aims to share stories of how technology has influenced people's life with specific focus on education and the use of collaborative tools or technology such as Skype, Google Hangout, Wikispace, Frog VLE, Slideshare Movie Maker and Youtube as well as participation in online global projects.
