Eye on Learning

I am most delighted with the achievement of Ms Chow Yun Yun, an Art Educator whom I first met when I conducted a workshop on using Web 2.0 tools in June 2009. She has proven that Art can come alive for young students through the use of blogs, facebook, etc. Take a look:

eLearning has been around for several years now. It's evolving into eLearning 2.0, ubiquitous learning and who knows where it'll ten years down the road. The digital millennials are in secondary/high schools and colleges today. Then comes Generation Z? What will educators have to do to accommodate their preferences and needs for learning? For a start, view this great set of slides. I love how the message has been designed.

Found an interesting presentation on " What is instructional design? " Love the slides, the way the content flows and the message. What Is Instructional Design? View more presentations from ejars .

Watch the launch of iPad by Steve Jobs:

Apple never fails to impress me. One typically drools over their products, especially of late and their prices are getting more affordable unlike 10-20 years ago :-) Steve Jobs just launched the iPad . Really something. If you're about to buy a netbook, wait...see if the iPad will work better for you. I'm tempted to get one as soon as they start selling. Why not? As my Gen Y daughter says, "It's an iPhone and laptop hybrid, who would've thought that'd be possible so soon? On hindsight though, these days it's actually not much of a surprise especially with Apple. Anyhow, seems pricey in US$ and may also likely well be by the time it's (or if!) sold locally here but it'll probably be convenient and will see some personal 'productivity' increase for those who can afford one. The book reader function looks nifty and could actually be well-utilized." For more info, visit: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/ . Looks like...

One of the ways to promote excellence in learning is by giving out awards of excellence. Why not? Brandon Hall has been doing this since 1999...wow! For further info, visit: http://www.brandon-hall.com/awards/excellenceawards.shtml
