The document summarizes an iPad e-learning pilot project for a primary school in Hong Kong. It includes objectives, achievements, problems encountered, merits identified, and questions for discussion. It also provides recommendations from lesson observations, proposed next steps like preparing for a sharing session and providing inputs to the school's e-learning roadmap. The roadmap outlines initiatives over the next few years to integrate e-learning across different subject areas and student levels through teacher training, parent workshops, and collaboration with publishers.

10 TRENDs: Change in learning dynamics - Learning happens any where, any
time, any interaction, and any direction
1. Teacher-centric Student-centric (Cater learner’s diversity)
2. Single measurement Multi-dimensional assessment (Holistic assessment)
3. One-directional (spoon-feeding) Bi-directional / Multi-directional

Remarks Cultivate IT Literacy. Cultivate IT Literacy.
Cultivate IT Literacy. Parent’s
day to let parent understand
school’s adoption of IT in
education.
20. Not started: No adoption of e-Learning elements
Acquiring: Evidence of utilizing e-Learning elements in limited number of
topics occasionally. Usually learning happens in classroom and
Legend
20
topics occasionally. Usually learning happens in classroom and
infrequent use at home.
Mastering: Evidence of systematic use of e-Learning elements in majority
learning activities. Usually learning happens in classroom and at home
with occasional use in outside campus activities.
Optimizing: Evidence of strong integration between e-Learning elements
and curriculum. Regular acquisition of new e-Learning elements from
market and discharge of un-suitable elements.
Leading: Evidence of innovative use and creation of e-Learning elements
and tools. Regular sharing with other local and international education
professionals, media and stakeholders.
24. Recommendations after Lesson
Observation (28 & 29/5)
1. Bigger task for self-pace / plus optional tasks
2. For new/ difficult task, recommend to have bigger group (let students to help each
other)
3. For pair work, set “driver seat” and “navigator seat” to reduce shadowing effect
4. Use of Edmodo (instead of Lino) for sharing static information for individual
5. Use of a single Lino board (instead of multiple) for easy navigation and better
atmosphere

atmosphere
6. Use of Explain Everything for more creative tasks
(practice speaking through explaining concepts and ideas)
7. For time critical tasks (e.g. quiz), schedule it to appear and prepare for contingency
8. For quiz, if not for continuous assessment (i.e. sandbox style for guess and check),
could use anonymous access (e.g. NearPod) to reduce potentials of discouraging
students
9. For dis-engaged student, could use NearPod for synchronizing screens of students’
iPads and set classwork
10.For Dropbox folder structure, need to open appropriate sub-folders for easy
management and easy access
