#edsg Archive
The #edsg hashtag is used by stakeholders who want to share information with educators in Singapore. But there is a faithful group that tunes in every fortnight on Sundays, 9 to 10pm Tuesday, 9 to 10pm (Singapore time, UTC+8) for topical chats. We provide unPD, which is informal and unsanctioned professional development (PD) for educators. Such PD is free and self-organizing, but no less valuable than official PD. We promote progressive education and evaluation by practicing connected learning, critical thinking, and community building.

Happy birthday Today is "人日"!
-
Is there an emoji cricket? We could use one for .
-
Did not realise that. My lesson for the day! :)
-
Hello . Yes I had yusheng for 人日!
-
Heard about the coding and developer event that mentioned?
-
Today, both western and chinese valentine day are on the same day
-
nope. I only realize that there is such event when I see the tweet. Would likely to be signing up for that
-
Can you use school or PD funds to attend? I also see it costs $10 per student.
-
Chinese valentine's like not today leh
-
I also read a headline about a religious movement against VDay. Now they can be doubly furious!
-
With or without raw fish? ;)
-
Today is 人日. Everybody's birthday :)
-
no la. I likely to pay on my own. or use LDS.
-
or can I use the $500 skill future?
-
About Canvas for Unisim: Is that for the whole system? When does that kick in?
-
it is the last day of Lunar New Year. Me blur !
-
yah not the same as Chinese valentine's. Today is "eat yusheng day" lol
-
-
LDS is going to give way to something soon, right?
-
I think so . Some naming change if I am not mistaken
-
with! Very sad all my favourite restaurants are serving abalone instead but I can always rely on sushi joints. 🐟
-
Nice try. I doubt that the fund$ are for events and non-sanctioned groups.
-
selected courses in the second term of this semester. Level 1 and capstone courses next semester. Everyone else Jan 17.
-
Hoping that I can use skill future for my part time course in NIE.
-
I've heard that you get credited with $ by default. No need to claim. Not sure if I heard right.
-
BTW, some restaurants still serving sharks fin. Going against the 2014 call not to. Money over morals.
-
I always think of 元宵 as "2nd eat 汤圆 day" lol
-
all to do with eating. lol
-
as long as there are ppl who will pay for it 😕
-
Sounds like a reasonable rollout. This should send a reminder to Not White Interesting. ;)
-
That would be neat. I know of several IHLs teaming up to jump on that bandwagon. Acad & non-acad staff stressed out to prep.
-
I refused to eat it at one reunion dinner. Looked really stupid at the table, but whatever!
-
I've been waiting for it! Very glad they didn't decide against Canvas. If we must have an LMS...
-
We have bigger stomachs than hearts. Literally and figuratively. Even our examples are food-laced.
-
The lesser of two evils? Hope it does not get too big for its britches. Can happen to LMS companies.
-
I was going to use it for the accelerated ACTA. Undecided. Any other suggestions?
-
-
Hope life in ETD has been interesting so far! Any major involvement for you in ?
-
-
there may be other strong competitors soon? Or ppl may go off LMS altogether
-
-
-
Not that wishful, especially in corporate sphere. I shared one report recently & shared another.
-
I think the corporate folks move faster
-
The ACTA outline looks like what I am doing with two agencies in Apr (keynote) and May (courses). Convergence!
-
They certainly feel the $ pinch faster. Adult learners also more critical & vocal.
-
Pei Yun has done it (regular not accelerated)
-
Speaking of Pei Yun, you're on for the 8 Mar event?
-
Learning curve is steep but people around me are very helpful. I'm helping in the marcomms for :)
-
-
-
Ah, marcom. Have received unfair share as a speaker. Experienced good comms and marred comms. ;)
-
In any case, hope the change is proving to be a good learning experience. :)
-
I plan on being there too, just to be kaypoh. Will practice being a wallflower. :P
-
No free admission for tchr at ? Usually, there would be one slot free for MOE-driven conference
-
-
I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing what that group gets up to. There should be more of them!
-
I wonder if knows how many accounts are bots. They respond so quickly with tweets, RT, QT. Unpleasant!
-
Signing out a bit earlier tonight. Have to rest before double workshops tomorrow. Be good. Or not.
-
How else are you using Skillsfuture?
-
might want to go to do some thing on cybersecuirty
-
-
have not searched for the course yet as currently I am too busy with the thesis-writing
-
you make me feel so guilty 😨
