Jack's Diary--2008. 1.29. by Helen


(This is Helen Yu, Jack from U.K. and Franklin Chang in the Hong Dao campus. )

Hello,I am Helen.

Today is a special day. Why? Because it is my “BIRTHDAY”!

In the morning, my mom and sister bought me a birthday cake. And my best friend came to celebrate my birthday.

In the afternoon, I took the cake to school to surprise the teacher. But I thought the teacher surprised me. He brought me a little cake,and then everyone sang “Happy Birthday” song to me. He gave me a cute card. I like this card very much.

Now, it’s my turn to have this little bear, Jack, as my journal pal. I really love it! Because now Jack is my good friend, too. I will have a great time with him!

This is the story about Jack and me. He wishes that I will get many presents and have a happy time today.

Jack's diary--2008.1.29. by Apollo



I am Jack. This is my first time to be the main character on this page because of the "Jack's Diary".

Much to my surprise, it's Helen's birthday today while I am working on the "Show Taiwan" project with some Hong Dao iEARN team members in the computer center.

Certainly it's time for great celebration!

Guess what did we have?

We got cakes and .....more cakes... Hahahahaha~


Because we strongly believe "You work hard, You eat hard!"

Now lets' eat the cakes and take a picture of all of us!

Introduction

APEC Cyber Academy (ACA, http://linc.hinet.net/apec/) is an international networked learning environment designed specifically for K-12 students. The primary goal of ACA is to provide learner-centric, collaborative, ICT, and international learning experiences to K-12 students and teachers around the world. Launched in 2002, ACA is currently hosted by the APEC Digital Content Production Center (APEC CPC) under auspices of APEC/EDNET and the Ministry of Education of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan). With its outstanding networked learning environment and high quality digital content, ACA has already attracted many international users. As of April 2007, ACA has over 15,000 registered learners from various corners of the world.

ACA hosts an annual, international, online contest. The nine-week event for 2008 will start on February 17 and end on April 19. The contest is composed of three programs: the International Networked Collaborative Learning Program (NCLP), the International Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Cyber Camp, and the International Journalists. The first two programs, NCLP and ICT Cyber Camp, are associated with team projects and will only accept group entries. In contrast, International Journalists pertains to personal efforts and accepts individual entries only.

PLEASE COME ON BOARD AND JOIN THE EXCITEMENT!
For more details about the online contest programs, please visit the APEC Cyber Academy at http://linc.hinet.net/apec/ or e-mail: linc@mail.nutn.edu.tw

International Networked Collaborative Learning Program

There are eight independent learning projects in the networked collaborative learning program: (a) Money: Currency, Purchasing Power and Investment, (b) Mallrats, (c) Food Pyramid and Food Labels, (d) Bacteria, Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance, (e) A Day in Our School, (f) Newspapers, (g) Holidays and Vacations, and (h) Weather and Natural Disasters. To participate in one of these projects, students need to form teams of 5 to 20, take part in weekly learning activities, complete assignments collaboratively, and communicate with their distant learning partners through ACA’s communication tools.


International ICT Cyber Camp

This virtual camping program focuses on learning both ICT and problem-solving skills. Participants need to form teams of 4 students for entering the cyber camp. The ICT Cyber Camp is composed of a sequence of four learning modules, which are Game Tent, Expo, iHunter, and Camp Fire Party. The program is designed with advanced and interactive technologies such as games and 3D virtual learning worlds.

International Journalists

Students are welcome to play the role of local correspondents for their classes or schools. After being authorized as a residential journalist by ACA, the qualified journalists are encouraged to try their best with digital storytelling, using technology to tell stories about their local communities respectively.

Awards and Prizes
For the Networked Collaborative Learning Program and ICT Cyber Camp, the performance of each team will be evaluated based on an evaluation rubric (see Rubric handout). The winning teams will be awarded a group certificate of merit from the Ministry of Education, Taiwan.

The performance of journalists will be evaluated based on its own program rubric. The winning journalists will be awarded a certificate of merit from the Ministry of Education, Taiwan.

小taike寒假注意事項

終於放寒假了!!
想必各位一定很開心~
不知道各位同學想去哪裡玩呢?是國外度假?還是有其他計畫呢?
Apollo老師要提醒各位假要放,但是我們的團隊活動還是沒有因此而稍有停頓喔~

以下是一些非常重要的注意事項

1.自1月18日放寒假開始,為顧及各位同學與家人的度假計劃,因此寒假時間概不出隊。請各位家長多多注意同學安全~

2. 寒假期間,請各位同學在討論區po上一篇"My Chinese New Year Life",字數至少150字。

2. 2月11日之前請各位在我們的討論區上面貼上各組Show Taiwan成果的youtube連結。當然這個作品裡面是各位展現英文實力的時候,所以各位必須做出中英文字幕,一來是讓我們合作學校知道我們進行成果,二來是讓各位實際運用英文於生活之中。


3. 2月12日(第一天上課)第三節我們會在二樓多媒體教室集合,讓各位展示經營已久的Show Taiwan計畫。

以上~

2008年1月16日

1月15日期末集會

各位辛苦的taike們

相信各位已經為期末考做了相當充足的準備~
不過由於本次寒假即將在本週五展開
同時也為了配合週五的九年級複習考時段
因此我們期末集會預定在1月15日週四中午12點到12半
集合地點是在2樓視聽教室

請各位同學考完期末後記得集合喔~

我們還有很多事項要做呢~

2008年1月5日

給各位小taike的話

想必這週六大家都很投入後製過程
看到許多同學在短短時間之內就能各自發揮創意並交出輝煌成果
真是讓我相當開心

開心是因為同學即戰力很強大
開心也是因為同學徹底發揮"做中學"精神

而我深深相信就是這樣一個"做中學"的信念會讓你們這群孩子越能嶄露頭角
也越能練就一身自我學習的功夫幫助自己往後在社會上保有不敗之地~

另外
從投入這樣一個活動以來
我常常在想
為什麼我跟你們一起做事的時候總是那麼開心?

這週六我想我有一個讓我很滿意的答案---
因為每個同學都很"投入"
而這樣的投入是一種commitment的具體實現

所以fanny joanne ann可以重製show Taiwan作品以求至善
所以jessica cali 維尼等也可以呈現出她們精心規劃的成果 而且看得出來是個相當精細的作品
所以很多同學可以在短時間之內操作一個不熟悉的軟體並做上手發揮自己創意然後再放到我們這個網頁讓其他人看看你們努力的成果

你們這樣深深投入活動的精神讓我深受感動~
也更加確信你們已經做出了全國其他中小學做不出的成果與創意

這是你們的驕傲!


孩子們
我內心對你們的激賞是不可言喻的~

不過我也必須提醒各位要開始把心思放在你們的期考上面
所以我要各位同學減少上網的時間
一切iEARN活動我希望等到各位期考結束後再重新展開

我跟劉主任會繼續跟英國學校方面做好協調確保雙方有"最佳相見歡"的時間點
(不是在我們期考時候
也不是在他們有繁重業務之時)

這是因為兩國的學制不一樣
也是因為東西教育文化差異不同

相信聰明如各位都知道這是一個所謂的機會教育
可以一窺台灣與英國不同體制的絕好機會~

而這也會是各位參加iEARN活動的收穫之一
深刻體認兩地文化差異性...

最後
我還是要再三提醒各位
請多花心思在你們期考上面
有關於學業任何問題
只要是我跟劉主任幫的上忙的地方都不要客氣來問我們~
我們都非常開心為同學服務!

預祝各位期考順利~比上次成績更好!

同學們先把今天做好的影片連結貼上去
並且把今天的心得貼上去吧

本來討論區一片空白
不能登入也看不到任何東西
經過一個下午的折騰
好險現在討論區可以登入可以瀏覽
但是不能編輯文章或張貼
等會再試試看
如果不能的話只好放棄崁入Youtube語法了
##############################
為了讓我們的討論區可以崁入Youtube語法
目前討論區正在重整中
因為要改的地方很多
所以主任我正在仔細對照並修正中
因此討論區目前無法使用
請大家稍候!
希望不要出錯啊 ....
