21st Century Learning Adventure at UNIMAS!

MISSION

Looking forward to visit Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) for the first time. I will be giving a talk (25 Nov) and a workshop (26 Nov) during my visit, and Insya-Allah these events and other accidental connections/conversations with educators there will be beneficial for UNIMAS.

Also, I am pretty sure I will learn a lot from UNIMAS as I discover it and its people. For example, did you know that UNIMAS launched its first MOOC earlier this year entitled: ICT Competency.

Now you do!

HI!

If you are attending my talk or workshop at UNIMAS, please add yourself to this Padlet Wall (direct link) by double tapping or clicking on it (no login required). If you could add your name, picture (optional) and what you think is the ingredients for empowering great student learning experiences (in a sentence or two), would simply be awesome. Thanks!

During your lifetime you have probably experienced inspirational educators, or witnessed inspiring lectures. But, what about you? Are you such an educator? If not, why not? In this interactive talk, we will explore some of the ingredients top educators in the 21st century have, and how we can learn from them to reinvent ourselves to reach our true potential as an educator. Are you up for the challenge?

WORKSHOP

‘Designing 21st Century Learning Experiences’ (26 Nov)

In this 1-day hands-on workshop, we will explore how to design interactive and engaging student learning experiences using technology. We will actively look at how we can transform face-to-face (F2F) learning using the ‘Flipped Classroom’ and ‘Gamification’ methods. Then we will explore how we can use social media and web 2.0 to engage students, empower collaborative online learning spaces, and development interactive content. Participants will be engaged throughout the workshop with learning activities, including the gamified group challenge during the afternoon. It will be fun, engaging, and participants will get a taste of how they can use technology to transform the students’ learning process.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

Discuss how the brain learns.
Apply Gagne’s 9 events of instruction to design more engaging learning content and environments.

How to Print Anything at a Smaller Size!

I absolutely love this little trick! Im not even joking when I say I use it at least three times a week! Every time I make/buy a new center game, I use this trick to print the cover page smaller so that it will fit in a quart size ziploc bag. And... I use it to make visuals slightly smaller so that they fit better on my walls! It is definitely one of my favorite tricks!

So... time to show you how to print anything at a smaller size!

Before I go into the poll and the tutorial, do you see the ADORABLE product in my preview? Well... its fabulous and its free from The Primary Gal! Shes relatively new to blogging and TPT so head over there and give her some love!

Now, for the poll! This was clearly the winner but the other options were definitely contenders!

And of course, heres the tutorial! Step 1 mentions that its easiest to do this with a PDF, so if youre not sure how to make a PDF, be sure to check out my previous tutorial below!

The steps are slightly different on Mac and PC so I did two separate write ups!

You can download this tutorial as a PDF by clicking this picture!

Note: This tutorial is hosted on Google Drive. To save it from there, just open the file and click File > Download to save onto your computer!

As for next weeks poll, Im going to add how to make a customized search so that it only searches specific websites... this is perfect for research projects!
