資訊科技教學交流會 – 「資訊科技教學新路向」

Experience Sharing Seminar: “The New Information Technology in Education”

主講嘉賓 – 鄭賢義博士	分享者 – 洪美華主任	梁偉才校長	與會者	劉柏齡校長

教區學校中央校董會於本年五月十七日，假聖方濟各英文小學，舉行「資訊科技教學新路向」教學交流日，出席的教區學校校長和老師共有一百二十人。  

林麗萍助理帶領祈禱和致辭。聖方濟各英文小學梁偉才校長介紹主講嘉賓鄭賢義博士。交流會首先由鄭博士主講「科技潮流，浩浩蕩蕩」，主題是由孫中山先生的說話「世界潮流，浩浩蕩蕩」演變出來，目的是要讓老師明白不可逆科技潮流而行，作為老師，應和學生擁有共同語言，教好他們。此外，老師也應懂得分析哪一項科技產品適合長遠的教學，並有效善用及管理。他們更應認清方向，協助學生善用資訊科技，讓他們明白除了可利用科技來交友、建立人際網絡之外，也可應用撰寫工作計畫等。  

接著，由天主教聖安德肋小學課程主任洪美華和吳嘉華老師分享經驗，主題為「e-learning互動教室新世代」。她們藉著介紹該校的網上平台，帶出建立網上學習平台的好處，也就是能照顧學生個別差異和培養學生的自學精神。她們也提醒老師，應發揮強項，多設計有趣及能提高教與學成效的網上教學資源，而不是單單熟悉資訊科技的應用技巧。

各講者分享完畢後，由聖貞德中學劉柏齡校長總結。最後，由天主教聖雅各伯幼稚園李月嫦校長帶領祈禱下圓滿結束。  

參加老師都對如何製作生動有趣的網上教學內容深感興趣。置身在科技發達的年代，利用資訊科技提高教學成效，正是教學人員應努力履行的責任。盼望老師應用互聯網時，以身作則，確立正確行為教導學生。

The Central Management Committee for Diocesan Schools held an experience-sharing seminar at St. Francis of Assisi’s English Primary School on 17^th May 2008.  Around 120 school heads and teachers participated in the event.  

Ms. Margaret Lam Lai Ping led the opening prayer and delivered the welcoming speech.  The Principal of St. Francis of Assisi’s English Primary School, Mr. Leung Wai Choi introduced the guest speaker Dr. Charles Y.Y. Cheng.  The first session of the seminar was presented by Dr. Cheng, the topic was “IT Trend, Vast and Mighty”.  He explained the theme quoted from Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s ‘World trends, Vast and Mighty’. The purpose was to let the teachers understand that they should not resist the IT trend since teaching could become more effective if they had a common language with students.  Teachers should analyze which IT products were long-term and suitable for educational aid, and know how to make the best use of them. They should identify the objectives, assist students in making use of IT, and let them understand that IT could be applied to practical work, such as writing work programs, apart from using it to make friends and set up interpersonal networks.  

In the second session, Ms. Hung Mei Wah and Ms. Ng Ka Wah, teachers of St. Andrew’s Catholic Primary School, shared their ideas by introducing the “e-learning Interactive Platform”.  Through the online platform of their school, they brought out the idea that by using a learning platform on the net, teachers could cope with individual differences and promote the self-learning spirit of students.  They reminded teachers to organize diversified teaching activities for students, instead of familiarizing them with the application skills of IT only.  

At the end of the sessions, Mr. Lau Pak Ling, Principal of St. Joan of Arc Secondary School, delivered a vote of thanks and concluding remarks.  Ms. Li Yuet Sheung, Principal of St. James Catholic Kindergarten, led the closing prayer.  

The participants were all deeply impressed with the way online resources could enlighten teaching.  In this modern era of technology, teachers and administrative staff should raise teaching effectiveness by means of utilizing IT.  Teachers should become role models of students to establish correct attitudes in using IT.
