Blended Learning for Weather GI

My colleague, Arman, coordinated the Weather GI. With the use of technology, we were able to continue the GI into the HBL period.

Students formulated their hypotheses in Google classroom and I went through with class the hypotheses they have formulated. Three were chosen and the students collected the data using a weather tracker in school. The students then record in the Google form and the data is collated on a spreadsheet. Using the data, comparative graphs and scatter graphs are generated for the data representation.

The groups collaborated in presenting their analysis and conclusion using Google slides. Images from a group's presentation is shown below.

The use of the Google suite and Google Classroom has helped to create a more engaged blended learning experience for the students using technology.

Historical maps

Interesting historical maps to see the development of Singapore.

I like that you can allow for swipe of two maps as shown below:

1. Select the maps from the years you want to compare and then click on the 3 lines (setting) beside the year.
2. Select layer swipe followed by vertical from the pop-up menu.
