Top E-Learning Tools of 2009

Hi Folks

My tech guys recommended me this site and I thought I'll share this with you considering that we now have our first H1N1 case and to prepare for a scenario where campus may close.

Have a look and see if anything interests you. However do remember that it is the design and not the tool that makes learning happen!

Hot Topic of the Week: Assessment

Unpacking Assessment

"We should have more assessment," some say. "No, our children are being over-tested," others retort. "We should do away with assessment!" This "testy" issue was debated once again when the Ministry of Education recently announced a new policy to do away with examinations for all Primary 1 and 2 students. I am aware that we in SP have done away with pen and paper assessment for some modules. The question is so we get rid of it totally? Read what an educator thinks by clicking the link below!
