4. Self-directed learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take
place?
Self-directed learning
Self-directed learning (SDL) is any
increase in knowledge, skill,
accomplishment, or personal
development that an individual selects
and brings about his or her own efforts
using any method in any circumstances
at any time.
- Gibbons, 2002

5. Self-directed learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take
place?
Self-directed learning
 Identify learning tasks to achieve learning
goal set
 To reflect on their own learning and use
feedback to improve their schoolwork
 To learn beyond the curriculum
 To apply learning in new context

6. Collaborative Learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take
place?
Collaborative Learning
 The social process whereby students learn
through interacting with others
 Entails social construction of knowledge,
e.g. forming an argument through talk
(Nussbaum, 2008)

7. Collaborative Learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take
place?
Collaborative Learning
 Perform inquiry and solve problems
together
 Propose ideas/theories
 Support and evaluate claims with
evidence
 Offer multiple perspectives, rise-above,
etc
 Build on one another’s ideas

8. Collaborative Learning
What are the areas where SDL/CoL take
place?
Collaborative Learning
 More than assembling of tasks according
to the roles the individual learners play
 Involves ongoing efforts in negotiating
meaning and establishing shared
understanding among them.

9. Geographical Inquiry
What is the pedagogy/instructional
model adopted?
Geographical Inquiry
 Spark curiosity
 Gathering data
 Exercising reasoning -To make
connections e.g. relate existing
knowledge to new knowledge
 Reflective thinking –Peer feedback on
presentation

10. Bloom’s taxonomy

12. Objectives
Objectives of my ICT lesson on
Tourism
Students will be able to
 plan a 2-day itinerary highlighting tourist
attractions in Singapore.
 make use of Prezi to create an online
presentation collaboratively.
 give feedback to their peer’s work using
Linoit for collaborative learning.
How would this be carried out if ICT is not used?
ICT value added!

13. Learning activities
What learning activities will the students
go through?
 Use Prezi to create an online presentation
collaboratively.
 Search and sort relevant information,
images and videos on the internet for their
presentation.
 Give feedback on peers’ work
constructively using Linoit on the blog.

14. ICT Tools
Value-add of ICT Tools
 Preziis an online presentation tool which
allows students to work on a common
presentation project simultaneously even
when they are not in physical proximity.

15. ICT Tools
Value-add of ICT Tools
 Students perform independent research
on different areas and use Prezi to share
their expert knowledge while picking up
information from their peers’ research
findings.
 In doing so, students are able to provide
immediate feedback to their peers or
carry out real-time discussions using Linoit.

16. ICT Tools
Value-add of ICT Tools
 Teachers of other disciplines can also use
this tool to similarly encourage
collaborative and self-directed learning
amongst their students.
 Monitoring of student progress is also
made simple by embedding the Prezi
presentations on a blog space!

17. Preparation for ICT Lesson
 Blog created for the Prezi presentation
and Linoit to be embedded so that
students can give feedback to their
peers’ works using the virtual gallery work.
 Grouping of students
 Registration of accounts for Prezi
 Leader to create account and send the
link to teacher

18. Scaffolding
 Students are taught how to use online
presentation tool Prezi
 Examples of youtube videos which
students can include in their presentation.

19. Effective Learning
How do we monitor the effectiveness of
learning?
 Virtual“Gallery Walk” on blog.
 The Prezi is embedded together with Linoit
on the blog and the students can post
their comments on the 2-day itinerary
using Linoit.
 Teacher has overview of all presentations
on the blog and can intervene if groups
are not on task.

20. Impact – Did your students learn better?
 As the students did the gallery work – the
students share their knowledge of the
various tourist attractions in Singapore.
 Learning is extended beyond the classroom
as they explore other attractions which
they are not familiar with prior to the lessons
 The lesson can be extended to
presentation of other issues e.g inquiry into
why people still stay in areas threatened by
volcanic eruptions such as Mt Merapi.
