We at SEKOLAH GLOBAL JAYA,
JAKARTA want to make sure that if we implement FolioMaker we are prepared
for any issues....it has taken 2 years to slowly chisel this concept into
management...but the kids (year 4) did a great job of convincing management
and could articulate all the skills that they needed to use to get to
the final product (the portfolio).
We thought it was vital to show management what our students can
do, so we logged a progress report every session we worked with the kids...the
rest was up to the students.
We asked them to present what they have worked on to the school management
team today. The good thing about the presentation was that the students
(6 trial students - student representatives) did all the talking and were
really serious about trying to convince management. eg they mentioned
that our Central Idea at the moment is focussing on our responsibility
towards the rainforests and how we can help...so they continued to say
that if our school is serious about helping our environment then we need
to put our actions into words and start working digitally, not with paper.
For year 4 Indonesian students that was really powerful. They also emphasised
how this project was very student-centred and they learnt lots from each
other as a team...teachers were just facilitators in trouble shooting. |
