Humanities 1

After a few minutes of showcasing two meaningful projects created with Apple Pages, teachers, leaders, and inspiring leaders will collaborate with peers to lend their voices and opinions to a micro-project. All voices and opinions are welcome as we collect opinions on the challenge of leading a school, department, student body, or classroom. This session will showcase the value of combining customized templates with the foundational skills of Apple Pages to encourage and collect the opinions and voices of everyone in the room. Most of the skills used are easily transferable to Keynote, FreeForm, Numbers, and more. The two school-wide projects that will be showcased include a 140-Page multimedia book that students created using the Design Thinking Cycle and Apple Pages to address a real-world problem that students faced at our school. The other is an interactive book created by the presenter to address critical thinking questions for students when using generative AI.

Using Technology to Measure and Respond to Student Wellbeing in a Primary Setting

Sunday November 24, 2024 9:45am - 10:35am GMT+08

Humanities 3

This workshop will explore how technology can be leveraged to track, assess, and support the wellbeing of students in a primary school setting. At the core of our approach is the integration of various data points, including attendance records, daily wellbeing check-ins, pastoral review meetings, and nurse visit logs. Together, these elements provide a holistic view of each student's physical, emotional, and mental health. We will delve into how daily wellbeing check-ins allow students to self-report their emotions, and how these insights help staff to identify patterns and potential areas of concern. By combining these findings with attendance data and pastoral reviews, schools can proactively identify students who may need additional support. Additionally, we’ll examine the importance of teaching emotional literacy, equipping students with the skills to better understand and communicate their feelings. The session will provide practical insights into the tools used, the workflow of collecting and analysing data, and how timely interventions can be planned to ensure students thrive both academically and emotionally.

Melawati Theatre

From the classroom to the corporate world, traditional assessments like papers and resumes often fail to capture all that students are capable of. This workshop is designed for educators who want to help their students showcase not just their final results but also their journey to those achievements. We’ll explore practical ways to build portfolios that reveal both the work and the creative processes behind it. You'll learn how these portfolios can highlight students' personal skills, strengths, and stories—elements that Google and ChatGPT can’t capture. Discover how to guide your students in presenting a comprehensive picture of their capabilities and creativity, truly standing out in both academic and professional arenas.

Sunday November 24, 2024 10:50am - 11:40am GMT+08

ES Makerspace

In this workshop, participants will be invited to think outside the box when using chroma key in lessons. We will go beyond simple background substitution and get creative by combining tools within apps such as Keynote and iMovie. Practical examples of innovative greenscreen use across an elementary school curriculum will be explored and then we will get creative with a hands-on workshop. Participants will be guided through the process of creating a ‘Magic Box’ project (based on the poem by Kit Wright) by using the chroma key function within iMovie. The final outcome will be a video of a magic box which has different compartments. When each compartment is opened, a different video, with corresponding sound effects, will play. Participants will need to bring iPads to the session with the latest versions of iMovie and Keynote installed.
