\u00a0<\/p>\n
While
\nthe ceremony was witnessed by a bunch of guests, Mr Victor Cheng, Executive
\nDirector of Hong Kong Education City <\/b>kick-started the ceremony. In his
\nspeech, he said: ‘The pandemic has lasted for almost 2 years and has brought
\ndramatic changes to education. eLearning<\/i>, Blended learning<\/i>, Innovative
\nLearning Design<\/i> are no longer unfamiliar concepts to us, educators have
\ngradually adapted to the new normal and transformed it with new teaching
\nstrategies. The performance of this year’s participants is brilliant, with
\ndiversified and vibrant learning designs, which demonstrated their innovative
\nperspective. We are thrilled to witness fellow educators are flexible in
\nutilising technology and creative teaching methods, which boosted teaching
\nefficacy and unleashed student’s potential. EdCity hopes the “Innovative
\nTeaching Award”<\/i> could encourage the education sector to
\ncontinuously innovate teaching pedagogies, foster professional exchanges among teachers,
\nand work shoulder to shoulder for the vision of future ready education.’<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officiating
\nguest, Dr Choi Yuk Lin, JP, the Under Secretary for Education<\/b>, said, ‘In
\nthe new era of education, teachers have to embrace innovative education through
\nthe optimal use of technologies and innovative pedagogies to enhance teaching
\neffectiveness and unleash students’ potential.’ Dr Choi continued to congratulate
\nand thank all awardees for their hard work, ‘They have successfully introduced
\ninnovation to education and improved effectiveness in learning, teaching and
\nassessment by harnessing technologies that are supported by education theories
\nand innovative pedagogies. Their exceptional achievements fully deserve the
\ndistinguished awards.’<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The
\npandemic has resulted in a vibrant scene of innovative education. The
\ncompetition saw the enthusiastic participation of educators from primary and
\nsecondary schools and from a wide spectrum of professional expertise. Introductory
\nvideos and briefs on their teaching philosophies and strategies were submitted
\nmonths ago. A judging panel consisting of professors, veteran principals and
\neducation experts evaluated the submissions and selected a total of seven
\ngroups of primary and secondary school teachers as recipients of the award
\n(details of the awardees available in the background) for honouring their
\nefforts on driving curriculum reform through innovative teaching. <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This
\nyear’s ITA has introduced team awards in addition to the pre-existing
\nindividual awards. The new team awards are set up to recognise teaching teams
\nwho worked together in promoting education innovations in a whole-school
\napproach to cover various aspects, including innovative teaching methods,
\ncurriculum design, team collaboration, teacher training, etc. The award
\nrecognises teams who encouraged the school at all levels in putting innovative
\neducation into practice and built a sound foundation for constructing future
\nschools.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apart
\nfrom the Prize Presentation Ceremony, EdCity organised two seminars in the LTE
\n2021, themed ‘Enhancing Learning and Teaching Effectiveness with
\nTransformation of Curriculum and Pedagogies’<\/i> and ‘Path of Future
\nSchooling via a Whole-school Approach to Actualising Innovative Education’<\/i>.
\nAwardees of the ITA were invited to share their precious experience in
\ninnovative education and how they gainfully used technologies as well as
\nreformed curriculum so as to mobilise their teaching peers to put innovation
\ninto practice and boost learning and teaching efficacy.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In
\nthe first session, four groups of ITA awardees shared their experiences in
\nrenewing the curriculum design by utilising innovative technology, such as AR,
\nVR, 3D printing and EdTech in order to equip students with essential skills and
\nqualities in the 21st<\/sup> century, broaden students’ horizons in the local
\ncommunity and global issues, as well as improve learning and teaching efficacy.

<\/p>\n Title: Centenary School – VR Classroom<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The team incorporated an Immersive Virtual
\n Reality System into the traditional experimental learning method to build a
\n ‘VR Classroom’, which allows students with learning disabilities to feel as
\n if they are on a real-life occasion. This helps students to master life
\n skills and be able to handle emergencies and improve emotion management so
\n that they can face challenges in life and integrate into the community. The
\n team has created 360 degrees panoramic video\/games, and together with multiple
\n choice questions, they could teach students various themes, such as taking
\n public transport, using the ATM machine, fire drills etc. and put what they
\n learned in VR into real-life occasions.<\/p>\n

\nIn the second session, three groups of ITA awardees will share
\ntheir valuable experience in revising learning and teaching in the blended
\nlearning environment. While the trend of future education inevitably
\nincorporates computational thinking and AI education into eLearning, cross-disciplinary
\ncooperation can bring a ground-breaking learning experience to students.
\nMeanwhile, in the 21st<\/sup> century, social-emotional learning for
\nstudents is another critical teaching area for post-pandemic education,
\nequipping students with necessary future skills.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n You

<\/p>\n Title: Self-Developed C.A.S.T Unification,
\n Experience beyond Subjects<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The team used school-based C.A.S.T
\n programmes to change the education ecology at school, teachers turned into
\n KOL to create video programmes, which incorporated knowledge of different
\n subjects, life skills and thinking logic. Through interesting videos and
\n livestreaming, they show various themes including Culture, Arts, Sports,
\n Spiritual, Skills and Technology, which increased students’ motivation to
\n learn during and after the pandemic. The themes are curriculum relevant, but
\n also includes non-academic knowledge, such as career planning, value
\n education, which help students to build a positive value system. The video
\n ideas are taken from daily life, and diversified teaching themes allow
\n students to taste different experiences in a relaxing and interesting learning
\n environment. For example, ‘Teacher’s Kitchen’ allows students to learn about
\n Hakka culture or incorporating stretching exercises into mathematics to
\n promote exercising at home. They also added in interactive elements, such as
\n voting instantly which is just like a TV programme.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The team promoted blended learning model,
\n and incorporated affective and social learning activities, which could help
\n students to build positive emotions, improve their resilience and learning
\n efficacy. The originally designed ‘Brain Break’ activity, in which students
\n have to make hand postures to respond to teacher’s tests, allows teachers to
\n diagnose and consolidate what students have learned. The ‘Emotional
\n Thermometer’ activity which is held before and after class could help
\n understand the change in emotions of students before and after class, and
\n build personalised lesson learning records for after class extensions and
\n promote self-directed learning.<\/p>\n
