Gez, I need to make an effort to update my blog diligently.
Afterall, I've to practise what I usually 'preach' to my students, rite?
That is, when you start something, persist in doing it well...

& since the Home Ec dept has come on-board to using blogging as a SHARING platform, I'll be more than glad to share whatever I can.
But most importantly, we teachers can network better!

QUIZSTAR

To start the ball rolling, there's this website;

QuizStar

Teachers can create an account and different class profiles for his/her class. It's really easy... You can create online quizzes like MCQs, short-answer Qns & True/False Qns.

& the best thing is, the web will actually tabulate the scores for you! You can also monitor who have or have not attempted the quizzes. You can upload a quiz and assign it to multiple classes. As such, you'll still be able to monitor your students' understanding and SAVING the trees coz there's no need to print test papers or worksheets.

& since students nowadays have computers and internet access at home, it can be used as a web/online-independent learning tool. Wow! Go and try... I've used it for a few years, and it's definitely convenient...Try exploring its other functions and be awed with wonderment... :)

SuPeRmArKeT sUrPrIsE!

One of the days, with the school's permission, I brought my F&N girls to a nearby supermarket (pls call & speak to the store manager first!). There are many lessons that can be covered jus by spending 2hrs there; Convenience food, Food labels, Food commodities, Food hygiene & Food storage & the list goes on...

Feedback from pupils; they find it interesting and fun (anything outside the classrm is FUN for them) and they happen to remember what they see and learn better (incidental learning through first-hand experience).

With that, that's the end of my entry for now....

To my dear comrades out there, "when the Going gets tough, the Tough gets going". We r all resilient people... ok, back to coursework, Coursework & COURSEWORK...

Jus some sharing...for tis past week

RISE of heartland schools (ST, 21 Sept 2005) H5
http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/sub/singapore/story/0,5562,342019,00.html??

ON THE RISE: Neighbourhood school Yishun Town Secondary's uniformed groups clinched one of its two Sustained Achievement Awards this year

Yishun Town has made it into Band 1 for Normal stream for the second year running.
The school's success stems in part from its dedicated staff's one-on-one approach in its after-school programme.
Instead of the usual remedial lessons with 30 in a class, teachers meet students individually or in small groups after school to clarify any doubts they have.
Principal Tan Teck Hock said such help benefits his students who come from 'simple, ordinary backgrounds and can't afford private tuition'.
'For instance, my English teachers tell me that by O levels, they will have sat down with each student, individually, at least twice. It shows the amount of time they spend with students,' he said.
Their dedication accounts for the improvement in results, said Mr Tan, even though the quality of students they take in at Secondary 1 remains constant.

What do I hv to say?
CONGRAT YTSS! I'm proud of the school. The success is attributed not only to the staff but also to the management staff who hav faith in da teachers, allowing da teachers to exercise the autonomy of what and how to go about ensuring that students reach their maximum potential.To fellow comrades, the hard work paid off.. Give urselves a pat on da shoulder 4 da job well done! :)

psst.. tat 2nd pic (wit me in it) wasn't published in da papers.
but sch took tat pic to b given 2 MOE (small grp tuition).

till then... We will Excel! (school motto)

My first blog entry here..

Another long day.
Had dance show after work.
Was an enriching experience.
Had to perform Chinese Dance.
So I was the 'Cina Muslim' dancer.
Wore our turqoise-n-pink costume.
Gee, I like the color combination.
After show, went back to Tepak.
Had dance training.
Super tiring.
Am not complaining.
Dancing has been my passion.
I feel less stressful everytime I dance.

That's all for today. Nuthin intellectual. Mind has reached saturation point.
I am what I am...If u dun like me, it's mind over matter...I dun mind & u dun matter.
Aite! I'm outz for now..
