Mobile Learning Workshop

The pilot scheme of mobile learning is being launched in our school. It is an innovative mode of teaching and learning which engages high-tech equipment and tailored pedagogies to allow students to learn not only in the classrooms and campus, but also outdoors through various comprehensive activities. Our school has made use of the CFSS Environmental Trail, netbooks and mobile phones to teach S.3 students the strategies of optimizing photosynthesis and reducing water loss in the science lessons.

  • Students are jotting down the notes under the Tall Bottle Brush.

  • Students are scanning QR code on the display board to extract the details of the Peepul Tree.

  • Students make use of the netbook to fill in the classwork assigned by the teacher.

  • The teacher shows the result of the classwork from his selected group promptly.

  • The teacher immediately marks the classwork through his netbook.

  • Students enjoy the lesson very much.

  • Students engaged in searching information from the Internet to launch a fruitful discussion.

  • Students can make use of the real specimen from the Environmental Trail and their notes to write down the analysis onto the netbook.

  • Encountered with difficulties, students take the initiatives for help.

  • The teacher finally debriefs the students after the discussion.
