東華文澤學(xué)校的在線課程對(duì)每一位來說，絕對(duì)是個(gè)正面的全新體驗(yàn)。剛開始時(shí)，一年級(jí)生要適應(yīng)在線學(xué)習(xí)的新流程是挺困難的。幸運(yùn)的是，我們大部分的學(xué)生已經(jīng)很快適應(yīng)了在線課堂，帶著責(zé)任感和決心去完成不同的功課和任務(wù)。

TWIS Virtual School has definitely been a new positive experience for everyone. In the beginning, it was quite challenging for first graders to get used to the new routine that is inherent in online learning. Fortunately, most of our students have adapted very well to our online class routine and tackle their assigned tasks with responsibility and determination.

在線上課堂開始之時(shí)，我們正展開了新的探究學(xué)習(xí)單元(UOI)：《我們?nèi)绾谓M織自己》。在這跨學(xué)科單元中，我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)社區(qū)中的不同角色，以及他們的責(zé)任和社區(qū)的組織方式。孩子們開始思考如何當(dāng)個(gè)好幫手和為社區(qū)做好事。他們認(rèn)識(shí)什么是公民，學(xué)會(huì)如何待在家里的同時(shí)幫助自己的社區(qū)。對(duì)一年級(jí)生來說，他們最珍惜和重視的社區(qū)就是自己的家了，所以他們提交了一些畫和視頻來表達(dá)他們?nèi)绾卧诩規(guī)兔Φ南敕?。留在家中的好處是讓學(xué)生可以仔細(xì)觀察家人和學(xué)校的成員如何共同維護(hù)一個(gè)幸福而有組織的社區(qū)。

With the beginning of our virtual school, we started our new Unit of Inquiry (UOI): How We Organize Ourselves. In this unit, we are learning about different roles of people in the community, their responsibilities and how communities are organized. The children started their inquiry by reflecting on how they can be good helpers and perform good deeds to their community. They learned what it means to be a citizen and help their community while they have to remain at home. The grade one class submitted drawings and videos of their ideas helping at home which is their most precious community. One positive result of staying at home has helped our students observe and recognize how everyone in their family and members of their school community work together to maintain a happy and organized community.

動(dòng)手活動(dòng)有助于學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)。在過去幾周，他們利用算術(shù)技巧進(jìn)行了研究。他們計(jì)算并把學(xué)校的所有社區(qū)成員的數(shù)據(jù)以柱圖來展示。

Children learn best when doing hands-on activities. In these past weeks, they have had the opportunity to conduct research as they use their mathematical skills. They tallied and transferred their data on a bar graph that reflected all the community members of their own school.

學(xué)生在網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)期間完成了各項(xiàng)充滿意義的任務(wù)。在了解從事不同職業(yè)的人之前，他們先在家里對(duì)父母的工作做個(gè)深入的研究。他們?cè)L問了父母的工作情況，并根據(jù)收集的數(shù)據(jù)繪圖了非常詳細(xì)的作品。在學(xué)習(xí)為我們服務(wù)的人的過程中，他們似乎很喜歡這些生動(dòng)有趣的活動(dòng)。他們通過估算每位社會(huì)角色能服務(wù)多少人，學(xué)會(huì)了取整算數(shù)。

Students engaged in completing very meaningful tasks during their online learning. Before exploring the community helpers’ roles in the community, they made thorough research at home about their parent’s work. They interviewed their parents about their jobs and made detailed drawings based on the data they had collected. Students seem to enjoy engaging activities as they learn about community helpers. They learned how to round numbers up and down by estimating the number of people each community helper can cater to every day.

網(wǎng)絡(luò)課堂同時(shí)讓孩子們以自己的速度學(xué)習(xí)公共演講的技能。他們能夠透過屏幕中看到自己，這是個(gè)很有價(jià)值的學(xué)習(xí)過程，因?yàn)樗麄冇^看自己做匯報(bào)的視頻后會(huì)反思自己的表現(xiàn)。學(xué)生們也以自己研究的一種職業(yè)制作了漂亮的海報(bào)，還有一條短視頻來展示他們的探索結(jié)果。一年級(jí)的小藝術(shù)家們?cè)谒麄兊纳鐓^(qū)中扮演著他們所選擇的角色，并精心挑選了他們的好鄰居。

Online school has allowed children to work on their public speaking skills at their own pace. They are able to look at themselves through a screen and this makes their work more valuable since they get the opportunity to reflect on their performance after watching their own presentation videos. They created wonderful posters about the role they researched and presented their inquiry by making a short video. Grade one little artists drew their chosen role in their community and meticulously chose good neighbors to have in their community.

在過去的一個(gè)月里，孩子們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了他們的在線課程。他們已經(jīng)變得很獨(dú)立，并學(xué)會(huì)了使用很多科技作為學(xué)習(xí)工具。他們已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)使用一些幫助他們?cè)谡n堂上參與的操作，比如在他們不說話的時(shí)候關(guān)掉他們的音頻，輪流說話。一些學(xué)生還非常有創(chuàng)意，已經(jīng)會(huì)在聊天框上使用簡單的單詞和表情符號(hào)打字。作為班主任，看著他們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上互相交流十分有趣。有時(shí)我會(huì)像一個(gè)神秘顧客一樣上網(wǎng)，為了看他們分享自己家里珍藏的玩具和物品，甚至在展示自己在課堂上畫的一些圖畫時(shí)互相大笑。當(dāng)我們的單元學(xué)習(xí)接近尾聲時(shí)，孩子們正在準(zhǔn)備他們的總結(jié)性評(píng)估。在我們出色的藝術(shù)老師Wendy和音樂老師Sharon的幫助下，孩子們正在籌備一個(gè)精彩的翻唱歌曲視頻，在視頻中他們會(huì)選擇一種職業(yè)來扮演。他們正努力地學(xué)習(xí)押韻寫歌詞，并將會(huì)唱出他們的作品，和為社區(qū)制作一個(gè)精彩的視頻。

In the last month, the children are now used to their online courses. They have become so independent and learned a great deal using technology as a learning tool. They have learned some tech features that help them participate better during the class, like muting their audio when they are not speaking, taking turns to talk, and some of them have been very creative and started typing using simple words and emoticons on the Chat Box. As a homeroom teacher, I find fascinating to watch them interact with each other online. Sometimes I would go online like a secret shopper only to watch them sharing nice toys and objects from their own homes and even laughing with each other as they show some of their drawings done in class. As our unit draws to a close, the children are now preparing for their summative assessment. With the help of our wonderful art and music teachers, Ms. Wendy and Ms. Sharon, the children are now preparing a wonderful cover song video in which they have chosen a community helper to represent. They are working on their lyrics using rhyming words now and are going to record themselves singing in a wonderful video for the community.

在我們一起經(jīng)歷這么美好的線上學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)時(shí)，我明白這段時(shí)間是焦慮不安的，不僅是孩子，還有老師和家長。身為家長，我確實(shí)感受到比平時(shí)更需要幫助我孩子的壓力。因此，我衷心感謝我們班的家長們對(duì)孩子學(xué)習(xí)的支持。另一方面，這段艱難的時(shí)期提供了一個(gè)難得的機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)科技。我們的一年級(jí)學(xué)生變得很會(huì)精通科技，比世界上其他國家的同齡人領(lǐng)先得多。他們正成為世界公民，并充分利用在學(xué)習(xí)道路上遇到的每一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。我們?yōu)橐荒昙?jí)的學(xué)生在這艱難的時(shí)刻取得成果感到驕傲。

While we are having amazing learning experience online, I understand it has been an uneasy time for everyone, not only children but teachers and parents as well. As a parent myself I definitely experience the pressure to help my child more than usual. Therefore, I truly thank the parents in our class for supporting their children's learning. On the other hand, this tough time presented a unique technology learning opportunity. Our first graders have become very ‘tech-savvy’ - far more advanced than their peers in other countries around the world. They are becoming citizens of the world and are making the best out of every learning opportunity that comes across on their learning path. We are very proud of what our Grade 1 students have accomplished in this trying moment.
