Anticipation was kind of unbearable hahaha very excited to see them online on a Saturday morning. Prior to our meeting on MSN, we confirmed our MSN emails, timing etc with a few SMSes. Thanks to Yueh Yuan our class monitoress, the mobile list came in handy.
Finally it's 1030 and everyone logged in YEAH! After much discussion, we posted the collated list of initiatves on google.doc so that we can have a 'live' document to work on. We updated the years the initiatives were implemented, sourcing from internet, math journals, teaching primary school math resource book and press release. We identified a few major initiatives and subs, cleared some doubts using the 6 thinking hats and explored a few platforms such as pbworks and others for collaborative learning at the same time. Kind of intensive for a beautiful morning. Hahaha but it was fun switching and toggling between, google doc, MSN and pbworks hahaa.
By noon, we had divided the initiatives we retained according to years. Using jigsaw technique, each of us took a portion to do focus reading and summary over the week. We ended our on-line 'chat' with a few guiding questions for our 'take home' assignment. We also decided on when, where to meet and what to prepare for next meeting over MSN and SMS.
Gamsa-hamnida Everyone!
