This document provides steps and examples for improving English pronunciation. It discusses being aware of mouth positioning and sounds, identifying areas needing improvement such as consonant digraphs and vowel sounds. It emphasizes paying attention to vowel length, speaking rate, mouth opening, syllable stress, and practice. Examples are given for consonant and vowel sounds, including "soft" and "hard" sounds for C and G. Common letter combinations with silent letters are also listed.
Design & Assessment for KB (Teacher workshop) (23-3-2007)KBTNHKU
The document discusses the causes of global warming and argues that human activities are largely responsible. It states that while technology advances to improve lives, the main goals of economic growth and profit do not address environmental protection. Additionally, some environmental technology exhibitions are really just opportunities for companies to do business rather than meaningfully address climate change issues.

Assessment for KB (Teacher workshop) (5-5-2007)KBTNHKU
This document summarizes a workshop on assessment for knowledge building held on May 5, 2007. It provides an overview of the tasks and activities covered in the workshop, including writing questions on Knowledge Forum, using its advanced features, and discussing different views on assessment. The workshop addressed topics such as formative vs summative assessment, assessing products vs processes, quantitative vs qualitative assessment, and aligning learning, assessment and collaboration. Examples of assessing online discussions and using analytic tools were also presented. Participants were instructed on creating learning diaries and conducting group reviews on Knowledge Forum. The document concludes by covering knowledge building principles and having participants draft electronic portfolio notes.
COLODA is an automated discourse analysis tool that helps teachers analyze online discussion data. It provides summaries of student engagement, participation levels, interaction patterns, and progression of ideas to help teachers evaluate learning, knowledge building, and adjust instruction. COLODA analyzes discussion data and outputs statistics, social networks, thread analyses, and keyword analyses in Excel format. It is being developed as an online platform to support teachers' reflective practice and knowledge building pedagogy.

1) The document summarizes a field trip to Hoi Hai Wan Marine Park in Hong Kong on January 15, 2008. During the trip, the weather, ocean conditions, and marine life were observed and recorded.
2) Measurements taken included an air temperature of 13.8°C, wind direction of NNE at 6.4km/h, sea surface temperature of 17.5°C, salinity of 34ppt, dissolved oxygen of 7.82mg/L, and visibility of 3m. Plankton samples were collected and various marine organisms like corals, fish and sea cucumbers were observed.
3) While the marine park is protected, the document
This document discusses the history and past topics of collaboration between Hong Kong KB Teacher Network and KBIP students since 2006, including local ecology, water quality, and environmental issues. It also mentions that fewer Hong Kong schools participated in KBIP from 2010-2011 due to difficulties, but that new opportunities for collaboration may be upcoming.
Students were taken on a field trip to Tai Mo Shan nature reserve to stimulate inquiry about ecology. They generated questions from individual to community levels, such as how weather affects creatures and what can be done to stop pollution. Good questions required explanatory answers, had more than one answer, and could generate further questions. Face-to-face discussion then extended online where students posted field observations and worked on perceived threats to the nature sites.
This document outlines the progression of various knowledge building projects, teacher networks, and student activities from 2001 to 2008, including teacher and student training programs, science design competitions, the establishment of the first Knowledge Building school network, workshops to promote higher-order thinking and learning reform, and an international student video conference. The list highlights the expansion of knowledge building initiatives over that time period across multiple educational contexts.
This document discusses a teacher's use of the Knowledge Forum platform to teach English writing to primary school students. It outlines the teacher's goals of developing students' independent learning skills and encouraging them to write freely in English. It describes the teacher's initial doubts and lack of confidence given her students' low English abilities. It then details how her mentor planned curriculum tasks, provided online resources, and taught students to use the Knowledge Forum platform. The document discusses positive impacts on students, including reduced writing fears, peer learning from reading each other's notes, and vocabulary growth beyond what was taught. It also notes the teacher's preference for Knowledge Forum's immediate feedback over traditional marking methods.
