Reflection 2- First FACE TO FACE

15 September 2010
Thanks for Anom's welcoming hospitality, the first face-to face discussion was at her place at 8 pm. After a hearty dinner, Anom, Zubaidah and I shared the resources that we have gathered prior to the meeting. We drew a timeline and wrote down the major initiatives that we have known and read about.


We used JIGSAW and Round Robin as our cooperative learning strategy as we formed our individual pieces onto the big timeline cum mind-map. Later as we discussed, we googled on-line a lot and added in other initiatives in between the already listed ones. I am so appreciative that I am living in this high-tech era where it is just a few clicks away to a host of information and resources. Gathering information this way has indeed sped up our discoveries effectively and we learnt and uncovered many other initiatives. Thanks to the miracles of technology. 


We were all motivated and warmed up in our new discoveries but time was running very late. Sadly, we quickly wrapped up by deciding on the platforms where we will share our findings (PowerPoints, Mind maps etc) via email and GoogleDocs. We shared the workload amongst the 3 of us i.e; 1) TSLN, I & E
                         2) TLLM, SEED &
                         3) PERI, SBB 


With the framework and philosophy of Mathematics in mind, it clearly reads out that Singapore is gearing up the young ones to meet to the demands of the ever changing world and preparing them for the 21st century and more years to come. It was indeed a fruitful gathering and I am looking forward for the next brainstorm session!
