Teacher’s Reflection "The AR/VR session was a nice opportunity to demonstrate how technology can significantly boost student motivation and engagement in the classroom. Observing students' active participation with simple immersive tools underscored the transformative potential of integrating relatively low-level and easily accessible VR technology into our teaching practices. The Learning Hub session not only provided a practical example of how VR can enhance language learning, but it was also a good opportunity for us all to learn new ideas and approaches from each other, given the open and collegiate atmosphere.” Matthew Hogg, NET Precious Blood Primary School (Happy Valley) Principal’s Reflection "We believe that all students explore and learn at their own pace and it is our goal tomake the learning process challenging, stimulating and vibrant for them.The use of AR and VR in our English Language classroom provides an experience just like that! Our NET and Local English Teachers are aware of students’ interests and plan accordingly. Observing students at play, identifying their emerging interests and providing opportunities for them to explore those further involve introducing resources and learning experiences that stretch their current abilities further. We are pleased to see that the integration of AR and VR into our English Language curriculum has helped us instil a passion for learning in students, discover the joys and wonders of play and develop inquisitive minds.” Cheng Sin Nung, Principal Precious Blood Primary School (Happy Valley) 9 NET Scheme News Issue 46 Inspire Innovate Impact Would like to seemore sharing fromother schools on how they incorporate e-learning tools in their regular GE lessons. These meetings are great to know what other schools are doing.We need more opportunities for schools to learn about other schools’ practices. It was good to talk to other teachers. I would be interested to join more sharing sessions. It was great — really well attended with a group of keen and enthusiastic teachers. It was a very well-coordinated session.Thank you, to the EDB NET Section staff and staff of Precious Blood Primary School. A positive environment created today, more of a similar nature would be beneficial. I enjoyed the group sharing.
