DESCRIPTION:This seminar will draw on two related projects. The first focu
 sed 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\, l
 anguage\, and information technology [IT]) and the librarian. The second p
 roject aims to promote the integration of students’ knowledge and skills
  across discipline areas through a new mode of teaching and learning\, whe
 re teachers and the school librarian work collaboratively as a team and st
 udents take part in an inquiry project based learning (PBL)\, enhanced wit
 h Web 2.0 tools. Key objectives include developing suitable training progr
 ammes for the teachers that provide adequate support to help them implemen
 t the new teaching and learning method\; and heightening students’ infor
 mation\, media\, and IT literacy through an online learning environment.
