The brown bag sharing is a teacher-initiated platform for the sharing of teaching and learning practices. These sharing are held on Zoom, and are generally 30-40 mins long, followed by a QnA session. 

Sessions that have been recorded will be archived here, for the community to revisit these valuable sharing.

Teachers who are interested to share, or wish to find out more, do email Alivia at xu_ruiping@moe.gov.sg.

Brown Bag Sharing Session 2: Using ChatGPT to facilitate the crafting of student-generated questions to enhance synoptic and conceptual learning.

Presenter: Ms Lam Kar Mun (Dunman High School)

Synopsis: This pilot approach addresses two key challenges in H2 Biology: understanding command words and connecting concepts from different core ideas. Through student-driven question generation and the use of resources such as Google and ChatGPT, students become more actively engaged in the learning process and cognisant of requirements in questions. This helps to promote deeper understanding and retention of scientific concepts.
