Reflection 4
5th October 2010
It was exciting to see magic unfold before our eyes with all of us posting all our “finds” on wetpaint.com. And it didn’t stop there. It was usually accompanied with smses and calls. We would help one another vet the power-point slides to capture only succinct and salient features of the various initiatives. And then it was back to the drawing board to see if it was all well-aligned. We met today, only this time it was over at Pizza Hut. With just two days to go, we were filled with anxiety and kept calling each other to get updates on the progress. Kong, our IT hero, synthesized all our individual projects and did a fantastic job at it. Poor guy! We must have stressed him with all our tall orders.
Looking back at this journey, I think I have come a long way. It was an enriching and fruitful learning experience. The PETALS framework has a strong underpinning in the teaching of Maths. We begin to re-examine our pedagogy, experience of learning, tone of the environment, assessment mode, learning content and student centred approach to align this to the teaching of Maths. Through this we can bring about greater joy in the learning of Maths. If only I had this experience when I was young, things would have turned out quite differently.He!He!
