8: Celebrating National Day

It was not all work as a Senior IT Instructor at ETD. We had time to celebrate occasions such as a successful training outcome of a school, the completion of an ICT seminar or conference and, in particular, National Day.

7: ON2IT - an MOE Publication

Much that was accomplished in the IT MasterPlan when we were Senior IT Instructors has been recorded in the MOE Educational Technology Division's publication "ON2IT".

6: Field Trips

We organized field trips to augment our training strategies for our Social Studies Cluster. Here's one in which we drove to West Malaysia to check out the fishing village and Kampong Laut of Kukup and developments at the southern-most tip of the Asian mainland, Tanjung Piai.
