Abstract

This seminar will draw on two related projects. The first focused on an inquiry project-based learning (PBL) approach in which primary 4 students from a Hong Kong school were guided through group projects that involved the collaboration of three kinds of teachers (general studies, language, and information technology [IT]) and the librarian. The second project aims to promote the integration of students’ knowledge and skills across discipline areas through a new mode of teaching and learning, where teachers and the school librarian work collaboratively as a team and students take part in an inquiry project based learning (PBL), enhanced with Web 2.0 tools. Key objectives include developing suitable training programmes for the teachers that provide adequate support to help them implement the new teaching and learning method; and heightening students’ information, media, and IT literacy through an online learning environment.
