Day 4 – Augmented Reality for Educators
Why writing is difficult?
To wait or to bulldoze when it comes to writing.
Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration,
the rest of us just get up and go to work
Stephen King
Are you an amateur or a professional?
Why is writing difficult?
I always try to find excuses not to write. Certainly, I enjoy reading but NOT writing. One paper is due today, and I still don’t have the mood to write. Would like to share a quote on writing and hope it will motivate me and others to write.
Write until it becomes as natural as breathing.
Write until not writing makes you anxious.
Day 3 – Augmented Reality for Educators
In this lesson, we learnt how to make things move . The focus was on behaviours. I was having trouble to follow this session, since I used iPhone not iPad. The interface is not the same and I need to explore looking for the buttons to click. It was really time consuming. Fortunately, the session was recorded and could be viewed later.
Hybrid Classroom
We can apply all sort of technology into our teaching, like e-learning, augmented reality and hybrid, but the crucial question is how do we get students engaged in the learning process?
Read the article on Making the Most of the Hybrid Classroom and find 6 ways to effectively manage class discussion. Unlike ODL or Open Distance Learning, in Hybrid classroom, some students are in person and others are online. This thus suggests that teachers require new skills to enable them to cater both, face-to-face and online, learners concurrently.

Coming Soon
In this seminar, I will present a paper on Meaning Making with Mutlimodality. The paper will focus on several studies conducted using multimodal theories. Most of the studies were from my MPhil and PhD students and covering different aspects of social contexts.
