When I have slightly more permanence in the classroom + opportunities to adapt the environment to suit my needs.

1. Run diagnostic test. Find out who has strengths in the subject, who has difficulties – use these profile for configuration/reconfiguration in class.
2. Cater to diverse learners. Use results from diagnostic to let independent ones learn independently. No point making them run when they can fly.
3. From (2), less people in the classroom = more time to concentrate on the rest. They are the people who need the most focus, anyway.
4. Communication. Need to be connected to the network the school uses to ‘speak’ with the students. Alternatively, make sure contact list is up as soon as possible to have more channels to transmit/receive information.
5. ICT the enabler. Google Documents for feedback, peer-editing, submission of work, etc; wikis for collaborative work; blog to share thoughts/interact with others. I’m totally not doing that now because I can’t find any way/space to introduce it – and not for want of trying.

To be updated over time too.

Just to share with everyone my most recent discovery: Shared Items Post by Google Tutor. I’ve been looking – or to be more accurate, thinking about looking – for something like this for some time, and have finally found it.

It fits my needs because I read a lot of stuff using Google Reader, and I like to share what I read with people, but find the whole copying and pasting of links very laycheh. So far, have only been able to port my ‘reading lists’ into my Facebook feeds, but haven’t been successful in automatically porting it into my blog feed – until now.

Hope you enjoy reading my shared items, or if you blog and use Google Reader too and have been looking for something like this, hope this has been a useful discovery for you too!

I know I promised many people I’d put this up, so here it is – the guide to configuring your laptop to send files to the printer in the NIE library, so you don’t have to book a computer just to print that one page of work.

1. Go to ‘System Preferences’.

   

2. Click on ‘Print and Fax’.
   
   

3. Click on the ‘Plus’ sign (+) to add a new printer.

   

4. Input the following values:
   • Protocol: Line Printer Daemon – LPD
   • Address: 155.69.86.56
   • Queue: printer_level4
   • Name: printer_level4
   • Print Using: HP LaserJet 8000 Series.

   Click ‘Add’.
   

5. Place a check next to the ‘Duplex Unit’ option, and change the Total Printer Memory option to ’36MB or more’. Click ‘Continue’.

   

6. Your printer should’ve been added. To confirm, double-click the ‘printer_level4′ icon, click on the blue ‘Info’ button and check to see if the values match what you see in the picture.

   

7. To print: Go to File -> Print or hit Cmd-P to send your file to the printer.
8. Go to the release station, and type in your user name. It’s usually the name which you use to log in to your computer, but without spaces. Mine is Laremy Lee (c.f. Step 1), so the user name I input is ‘laremylee’.

Hope this helps!

I am not doing double-posting! I’m not THAT bohliao, okay. LOL.

Anyway, the posts are automatically ‘fed’ in from my blog, because Facebook allows you to feed your blog posts, among other services, into your profile. How to configure this:

When at your Profile Page, click on the ‘Settings’ Tab just under your ‘What are you doing at the moment?’ input field. Follow the instructions after that.

Have created one for everyone to use.
