<div>
Dengan pengunaan Frog VLE, pelajar tidak perlu berebut-rebut atau membuat bising ketika cuba untuk menjawab soalan. Dengan menggunakan laman dan ‘embed’ Google Slide atau dengan menggunakan widget Wall, pelajar tidak lagi akan rasa terasing atau berkecil hati kerana mereka semua mendapat peluang yang sama untuk menyelesaikan tugasan.</div>

<b><u>#2 | Penglibatan Seluruh Sekolah Melalui Frog VLE</u></b></div>
<div>
“Kita sudah biasa mendengar bagaimana Frog VLE membantu kolaborasi di antara sekolah, mahupun yang berada di negeri berlainan, tetapi Frog VLE juga dapat meningkatkan pengelibatan semua warga dalam sekolah yang sama. Sebagai contoh, pertandingan kuiz antara kelas dapat dilakukan melalui laman. Pertandingan yang melibatkan undian juga boleh dilakukan dengan cara yang sama dengan penglibatan semua warga sekolah untuk memilih pemenang. Tambahan pula, murid, guru dan ibu bapa juga boleh membuat ucapan Hari Raya kepada seluruh warga sekolah.”</div>

Pelajar dan guru di SK Meru 2 didedahkan kepada cara-cara meningkatkan komunikasi dan perbincangan melalui pelbagai cara. Berikut adalah 3 idea yang boleh anda jadikan bagi sekolah anda juga!<br />
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Pertandingan Kuiz Melalui Laman<br /> </b>Setiap bulan, peraduan kuiz VLE Frog dijalankan melalui laman yang disediakan oleh Cikgu Mohammad Azmi mengikut topik-topik tertentu. Pelajar dan guru diberi masa tertentu untuk menjawab soalan kuiz. Kemudian, peserta yang paling banyak menjawab soalan dengan betul diumumkan sebagai pemenang di dalam majlis anugerah frog champion bulanan dan diberikan hadiah. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Memilih Pemenang Pertandingan Melalui Undian<br /> </b>Sebarang pertandingan yang diadakan di SK Meru 2, jika melibatkan undian, akan dibuka melalui Site yang bertajuk <a href="http://bba0038.1bestarinet.net/app/os#!undian1/undian">"SK Meru 2 Memilih"</a>. Masa undian ditetapkan dan keputusan diumumkan sejurus selepas masa mengundi tamat.<br />
<br />
<b>Ucapan Perayaan Menerusi Laman<br /> </b>Laman <a href="http://bba0038.1bestarinet.net/app/os#!rayasakan/raya">"Raya Sakan"</a> diwujudkan khas bagi warga sekolah untuk membuat ucapan sama ada daripada murid, guru mahupun ibubapa SK Meru 2. Site ini dibuka setiap kali waktu perayaan. Lima (5) ucapan yang paling menarik akan dipilih sebagai pemenang bertuah untuk menerima hadiah raya di acara majlis anugerah Frog Champion Bulanan.</blockquote>

<u><b>#3 | Penyeliaan yang mudah dan menyeronokkan</b></u></div>
<div>
Tugasan murid lebih mudah dipantau terutama sekali apabila menggunakan aplikasi Google Drive. Selain melakukan tugasan berkumpulan secara maya, perkongsian bahan juga menjadi lebih mudah. Dengan cara ini, pembelajaran jadi lebih menyeronokkan dan bebanan guru juga dapat diringankan<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-b8b8f18e-e28a-bc25-e2df-da46fa70587d">Untuk saya, perasaan gembira pastilah ada. Saya anggap anugerah ini sebagai suatu penghargaan kepada kami yang cuba membudayakan VLE Frog bukan sahaja di sekolah tapi di seluruh Malaysia. Maka anugerah ini adalah sangat baik untuk motivasi, bukan sahaja untuk saya tetapi buat seluruh warga sekolah.<br /><br />Bila saya bergerak dengan VLE Frog, saya bukan sahaja bergerak seorang tetapi turut membawa nama sekolah dan nama negeri. Ramai guru lain yang saya kenali melalui VLE Frog juga berfikiran sedemikian. <br /><br />Jadi, ini satu penghargaan yang sangat istimewa dan tidak saya sangka. Terima kasih, FrogAsia. <br /><br /><b>Cikgu, bagaimana penghargaan ini akan mendorong guru-guru untuk membudayakan Frog VLE dan PdP abad ke-21 di sekolah mereka?</b><br />Sebenarnya, kita yang membudayakan Frog VLE tidak mengharapkan apa-apa untuk diri sendiri. Penghargaan ini adalah bonus. Semua penyelaras Frog VLE tahu akan pelbagai cabaran yang dihadapi.<br /><br />Sebagai guru penyelia Frog VLE, kami ingin membudayakan Frog VLE bukan untuk penghargaan individu sendiri tetapi untuk anak-anak bangsa. Kita harapkan guru-guru lain akan mengikuti jejak langkah kita.<br /><br /><b>Apakah perubahan yang boleh cikgu lihat di sekolah cikgu apabila keputusan anugerah 1BNTA diumumkan? </b><br />Kami teruskan kerja seperti biasa. Tapi kami rasa lebih kuat. macam ada pengikut ataupun <i>‘followers’</i>. Guru di sekolah saya sendiri dulu, tak ramai minat Frog VLE tetapi sekarang ramai nampak yang apa yang boleh kita boleh dapat dengan Frog VLE. Saya sekarang juga sibuk dengan Frog di luar sekolah. Saya semakin saling mengenali guru guru di sekeliling komuniti saya yang semakin berkembang. <br /><br />Semangat para guru dari sekolah saya akan menjadi lebih membara and kami akan membudayakan Frog VLE. Itulah matlamat saya. Pengalaman daripada sekolah lain - ada yang masih kurang sedar kebaikan Frog VLE. Penghargaan ini dapat membuka mata mereka.</span></div>

<b>#1 | Sertailah komuniti Frog Advocate di daerah/negeri anda</b><br />
Sekarang ada banyak platform untuk berkongsi kaedah dan tips dengan guru-guru lain. Dengan komuniti yang utuh, kita lebih bersemangat berjuang bersama-sama. <br />
<br />
<b>#2 | Pembelajaran adalah menyeronokkan!</b><br />
Ada banyak cara untuk menjadikan pembelajaran lebih seronok. Lebih-lebih lagi, sekarang cuti raya, guru-guru sudah mula membekalkan bahan kerja rumah untuk di buat semasa cuti sekolah. Frog VLE boleh di akses di mana-mana sahaja pelajar berada. Ada kaedah yang boleh kita terapkan untuk memastikan murid terus teruja dengan pembelajaran. <br />
<br />
Saya juga melaksanakan bengkel dengan guru-guru yang lain supaya kami dapat meningkatkan prestasi PdP kami agar menjadi lebih interaktif. Ada antara kami ‘berlakon’ sebagai pelajar dan guru-guru lain mengajar kita.<br />
<br />
<b>#3 | Menggunakan widget-widget dan tool lain dalam Frog VLE </b><br />
3 widgets yang saya suka guna dalam site-site saya adalah :<br />
<ul>
<li>External link</li>
<li>Random name generator</li>
<li>Poll </li>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Untuk makluman, anugerah ini dianjurkan bersempena sambutan Hari Guru 2016 bagi mengiktiraf guru-guru dan sekolah yang telah menyumbang kepada pelaksanaan Frog VLE dengan cemerlang. Program ini telah mendapat sokongan dan galakan daripada pihak Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Pada tahun 2016, sebanyak 6 kategori telah dipertandingkan iaitu 1BNTA for Critical Thinking, 1BNTA for Creativity, 1BNTA for Communication, 1BNTA for Collaboration, 1BNTA for Character dan 1BNTA for the Most Outstanding School. Kategori-kategori tersebut memberi penekanan kepada lima elemen pendidikan abad ke 21 iaitu Pemikiran Aras Tinggi, Kreativiti, Kolaborasi, Komunikasi dan Pembinaan Karakter. Kesemua elemen yang dipacu oleh persekitaran pembelajaran maya Frog VLE ini bersesuaian dengan usaha Kementerian Pendidikan dalam melahirkan modal insan yang madani, selaras dengan anjakan ke 3, 4, 7, dan 9 dalam pelan induk pembangunan pendidikan Malaysia.</span></i></div>

The following are extracts from a post published on The World Economic Forum blog <br />

<b><u>1 | Can technology replace teachers?</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p2">
As technology has improved, even teaching complex subjects like science has been made easier. A local study shows that software can motivate students with different abilities across different levels of challenge. Could digitally literate teachers skilfully use technological tools to augment their lessons and personalise learning for each child?</div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
<b><u>2 | What do students really need to learn?</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="p2">
</div>
<div class="p2">
Reports have found that problem-solving, team-working and communication skills are currently most in demand in the workplace. Malaysia's Education Blueprint 2013-2025 aims for schools to be able to provide skills that students need in the workplace. Using information technology and providing digital resources is part of the strategy. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><u>3 | It's time to build character</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p2">
Technology cannot replace the human instruction required to help students be more creative, solve problems, foster team work and build character. If change is the only certainty in the 21st century, resilience, perseverance, courage, empathy, curiosity, leadership and ethics are the pillars that help us cope with it.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><u>4 | Teachers are key to dealing with change</u></b></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="p2">
In a world of rapid transformation brought on by technological advances, the role that teachers play in preparing students to enter the workforce will be as important as ever. To better embed teaching of 21st-century skills into their lessons, teachers can consider professional development programmes, and build digital literacy as a fundamental skill.</div>

“I have no doubt that across Malaysia there are young girls and boys who see the lack of balance present in the world they live in. It is important to arm our young with tools to apply themselves, and build a better future - and it is opportunities like this, I think, that allow them to come together and feel the power of making a difference individually and as a collective,” said Safeena Husain, at the conference today.<br />

To reflect our commitment to empowering students for social change, we launched the Vinnie Chan Award at Your World ReimaginED. This award is named after our colleague who passed away due to dengue in 2015, a disease the Global Goals seeks to eradicate. <br />
<br />
The Vinnie Chan Award honours individuals or groups that have made a difference in their community by championing the Global Goals. Recipients, who are to be announced in November 2016, will receive a M.A.D (Make a Difference) Pot of RM 1,000. <br />
<br />
What is exciting is that these funds will be used to further students’ cause as they run projects in support of the Global Goals!<br />
<br />
“Your World ReimaginED” is the latest conference in our Leaps of Knowledge series of events that aim to inspire and empower Malaysians to be agents of change especially through the use of technology and the Internet. <br />
<br />
Education is key to transforming mindsets and we are passionate about doing this by bringing some of the world’s leading educationalists, technologists, thinkers and personalities to the Malaysian stage.<br />

This is En Haris Abas and Pn Nurmegawaty with the students of SK Pendidikan Khas. <br />
You might remember their story from <a href="https://issuu.com/frogasia/docs/the_lilypad/14">our very first Lilypad.</a></td></tr>

<br />
One of the reasons we're so excited to be here in Sabah for Teachers' Day is because we get to meet some old friends! It is good to <a href="https://issuu.com/frogasia/docs/the_lilypad/14">see En Haris again</a>. He shares that the school is doing well, with a few changes to business-as-usual. The orientation of the computers in the school's computer lab which used to be in rows, is now in two islands of four, which helps teachers moves around the eight PCs. Also new is that En Haris has a change of post. He now teaches Standard 3, when he previously taught Standard 4. We asked him about what's different.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Perubahannya adalah lebih dari segi pendekatan. Budak-budak ini belum ke tahap 2, oleh itu belum perlu bersedia untuk UPSR. Saya boleh menggunakan 'games' dan elemen-elemen yang lebih seronok."</i></blockquote>
He explains that not much has changed, except for minor adjustments to his teaching approach. As his students are not yet preparing for UPSR, he can set up simple, fun games for them to play within his lessons.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkApXhWiMX7bjHS4Vi8yF4Dk9u7jinPYuKIugcUTpD7xEf20H-2x6j_T3dK9Np9j6XPPCxR_kGx2aD2rcOnFNHUH1ZqtJxSajz7FCF4vOW8YgjkHxLH5a1DTO6mDCjQjjbriryTR6joQb/s1600/DSC00175.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZkApXhWiMX7bjHS4Vi8yF4Dk9u7jinPYuKIugcUTpD7xEf20H-2x6j_T3dK9Np9j6XPPCxR_kGx2aD2rcOnFNHUH1ZqtJxSajz7FCF4vOW8YgjkHxLH5a1DTO6mDCjQjjbriryTR6joQb/s640/DSC00175.png" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Like En Haris, Pn Nurmegawaty Mohd Tahir did not receive any specific training in teaching for special needs. She does use the Frog VLE in her lessons, thought - for quite different reasons. Her students are preparing for UPSR as she teaches Standard 6. She commented that her students tend to easily forget lessons already taught.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Untuk membuat persediaan untuk UPSR, dulu, saya terpaksa ulang balik apa yang saya ajar dengan setiap pelajar. Sekarang, saya menggunakan Frog VLE membantu pelajar ingat. Ia kurang meletihkan dan pelajar boleh mengulangi latihan pada bila-bila masa."</i></blockquote>
She explains that she used to have to repeat her lesson with each student again and again to enable retention. She finds things easier now, because she can build a Site which helps students repeat the lesson as many times as they might need, and whenever they need to.<br />

Students collaborated in a session between eight (8) schools across Sabah and Labuan via <a href="http://frogasia.com/frogcc/" target="_blank">Frog Connected Classrooms.</a><br />
<br />
Today, SMK Sindumin in Sipitang, SM Sains Labuan in Labuan, SMK Tambulion and SMK Agama Tun Said in Kota Belud, SMK Banggi in Pulau Banggi, SMK Putatan in Penampang and SMK Shan Tao in Kota Kinabalu came together for this session where students discussed the different kinds of pollution, its varying effects on the planet, and how they could reduce pollution in their own localities. Using applications built as feedback tools for real time classroom participation and brainstorming, students polled their opinions and discussed the lesson interactively.<br />

The Leaps of Knowledge Conference with St Anne’s College, University of Oxford took place at Garden International School Mont Kiara, and we had the opportunity to meet five hundred of you! It was an amazing chance for us to have been able to engage with the professors of the University of Oxford, and to see you interact with them too.<br />
<br />
The day started off bright and early, and it was so exciting see so many of you ready to seize the day!<br />

<br />
The conference started off with a welcome address by FrogAsia’s Executive Director, Lou Yeoh, followed by an opening speech from our Second Deputy Education Minister YB P. Kamalanathan, who motivated students to apply to world-class universities. Dr. Robert Chard, vice principal of St Anne’s College, encouraged students to send in their applications, and Dr. Anne Mullen, Vice Principal (International) of St Andrew’s University, gave us an overview of how the university system in the United Kingdom works. She reminded us that education is about training our minds. “Not your mum’s mind, not your teachers’ minds, your mind!”<br />

<i>We couldn't wait for the subject talks to start!</i></div>
<br />
With that, we kicked off with the subject talks! The passion of these professors for their fields was evident to all as they told us about their areas of research. Dr. Peter Judge left the audience with this piece of advice: “Be bold. Be brave—and make that application.”<br />
<br />

<i>Being brave and bold isn't a problem for Malaysian students!</i></div>
<br />
The Oxford University Malaysian Club (OUMC) shared how each of them came from different educational backgrounds. From international schools to national schools, it is testament to the fact that an education at the University of Oxford, a world class university, is possible for those with determination. The OUMC student panel also spoke on what it was like to apply to and experience studying at one of the most esteemed universities in the world.<br />

Also, there were some pretty amazing things taking place at the exhibition hall! A ten-foot trampoline called the Dreamcatcher and a replica of the Junior Common Room found in the University of Oxford formed part of the exhibition. There were also interactive Frog VLE demonstrations and a replica of the University of Oxford Shop where FrogAsia T-shirts, button badges, and more could be found! At the OUMC booth, the members of the OUMC played interactive games and chatted with students.<br />

<br />
Prof. Chard and Prof. Speight then took the stage to explain what goes on during the University of Oxford’s admissions process. Prof. Speight reminded us that at the end of the day, “it’s not the buildings, it’s the people.” Following that, we had two live admissions interview demonstrations, where two current Oxonians demonstrated how an Oxford interview takes place. It was a showcase of the skill of critical thinking, as the professors wanted to assess if the interviewee is able to think beyond what is taught within the four walls of a classroom.<br />

The questions sounded simple, but the answers might surprise you!</div>
<br />
Later, Datin Kathleen Chew of YTL Foundation hosted an interview with Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Ali Redhauddin Ibni Tuanku Muhriz, Tunku Besar of Sri Menanti. He told us, “university teaches you how to think, how to question—to not take things at face value.” As an Oxbridge graduate himself, he emphasised that, “it’s important to challenge yourself, take risks, and see the world. But come back to your home later.”<br />

We met so many inspiring educators from our closest neighbours in ASEAN and from around the world, and have been moved by their stories of English language learning from every corner of the globe.<br />

We felt that we were well placed to share our unique insights surrounding our journey in education technology and language learning. As all educators know, opportunities to learn from each other can seldom be passed on.<br />
<br />
We are also proud to share that our sister company, YTL Foundation was honoured at the conference for their efforts surrounding English language learning across the nation.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It is with great pleasure and pride that I accept MELTA's 2015 highest award : Raja Zarith Sofiah Award for Corporate Social Responsibility in English Language Education on behalf of the YTL Foundation. The various programmes carried out through the Foundation including Word Mania Competition, Creative Learning and Information Technology Centre (CLiC), Leaps of Knowledge and Fulbright English Teaching Assistants all contributed to the achievement of the Award. This is indeed a well deserved recognition of YTL's clear commitment to CSR in education in general and the uplifting of English Language Education in particular.<br />

Our Head of Transformation, Elizabeth Lopez had the opportunity to speak about FrogAsia and our role in connecting teachers and students across the country via the Frog VLE. Elizabeth spoke of the dynamic collaborations that have been taking place between different schools, both in Malaysia and globally. With our work through the Frog VLE and all our various outreach efforts, FrogAsia hopes to empower this generation to understand the importance of technology in learning. We believe that students will have the tools and the confidence to reach beyond themselves when they use technology-enhancing learning as stepping stones into the future.<br />

Over the last week, the FrogAsia team attended a fun workshop on how to tell better stories. Having good storytelling skills are useful, especially since there are always amazing things happening in Malaysian schools that are worth being told! The workshop was led by FrogAsia’s Marketing Communications team.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
In two fun-filled afternoons, the workshop covered the basics of crafting a story and how emotions are a part of great storytelling. We learnt how the foundations of every great story is built from facts that tell the “What, Where,When, How and Why” of a story. However, facts alone are not enough for a complete story. Emotions also play an important part in what makes a good story.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Everyone then had a chance to work in teams and tell a good story based on their personal experiences from working at FrogAsia. The story needed to be built from important facts and driven by the emotions they felt when they experienced these events. Many groups told captivating stories about the amazing teachers they’ve met on their trips to schools all across Malaysia!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>The walk begins!</i></div>
<br />
White Cane Day is a globally observed day that is celebrated to remember the achievements of blind or visually impaired persons. The event in Penang was held to raise public awareness for the rights of all blind and visually impaired persons to have accessible public amenities, equal education, employment and societal participation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The walk covered six streets in Penang, starting from Upper Penang Road</i></div>
<br />
FrogAsia’s Executive Director Lou Yeoh said that “We are a company that is all about learning and we believe in levelling the playing field by providing equal access to quality education through technology and the Internet. Our vision ties in perfectly with the theme of White Cane Day, ‘Access is a Right’, as it is all about giving the visually-impaired the same kind of access and freedom that sighted people have.” Note: Sighted people is a word that refers to people that still have eyesight - and is used by the blind and visually impaired community.<br />
<br />
On the day of the event, the sidewalks of Penang were clean and free of obstacles, as kind-hearted store owners along the path thoughtfully cleared their storefronts a day before for the event! That morning, Penangites were greeted to the sight of a large excited crowd in blue FrogAsia sponsored shirts walking proudly through the streets.<br />
<br />

<i>The blind and visually impaired struck up conversations with their sighted partners</i></div>
<br />
Each blind or visually impaired person had voluntary guides that travelled to Penang from all over Malaysia just for the event.. At the start of the walk, the guides and their partners quickly became friends and started chatting happily. Many guides were surprised to learn that their partner had in fact, been sighted before contracting a disease that robbed them of sight.<br />
<br />
Pointers and advice were also given to the guides on how to lead and behave around blind and visually impaired persons. “Say step up to guide them over bumps,” one of the organizers told a participant as they neared an elevated walkway.<br />
<br />

<i>FrogAsia proudly sponsored their t-shirts!</i></div>
<br />
“We were taught how to lead them and were shown what couldn’t be done as well. For instance, we couldn’t shift their cane or pull them forwards,” says Mohd Akmal Hakimm, a student from Universiti Sains Malaysia.<br />
<br />
At the end of the walkathon, the crowd gathered at the FrogAsia booth,where the guides could play simple games with their partners. These games restricted the sense of sight, forcing participants to use their other senses. Blindfolded, many guides had the most trouble with touch, as struggled around a game that required the player to put together an certain amount of coins using only the sense of touch. Many were struck by how difficult certain tasks were without sight and were amazed at how the blind and visually impaired were still determined to live independently.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 110.0%; text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;">The new classroom was refreshed with hand-made tables, colourful walls decorated with bag hooks and a polished wooden floor. Every child enjoyed the space offered by the hand-crafted wide tables that curved to fit in with other tables! The architects explained that the reason behind the curved tables was so the tables could be arranged into a spiral. This promoted collaborative learning, as the students could sit facing each other. Each table was filled with inspiring artwork and words of encouragement, courtesy of volunteers from SPYTL and FrogAsia.</span></span><br />

Recently, 300 students had the opportunity to be part of the Frog VLE Student Seminar Showcase in Penang. These students were hand-picked by the Ministry of Education from schools across Malaysia and were given a chance to experience new and exciting ideas in the field of education technology.<br />

<br />
This exclusive four-day seminar began on August 18th at Univeriti Sains Malaysia. The students took part in six workshops that were guided by the FrogAsia team. The students were so enthusiastic about learning, they powered through the workshops from morning until night without tiring at all!<br />

<br />
In the workshop ‘Google Apps for Education’, students were introduced to powerful tools such as Google Maps, Google Docs and Google Search. Using these tools, the students teamed up and were tasked to put together a presentation about their favourite holiday destinations. The teams quickly got absorbed working together and enjoyed themselves immensely. A student, Faris, from Sekolah Agama Rawang said, “The Google Apps for education workshop was my favourite workshop because it taught me how to use all the features of Google Apps like Google Slides and Docs. I also had lots of fun working with my group.”<br />
<br />
The students were also shown how Frog could boost their studies in the ‘Frog VLE Dashboard Designer’ workshop! The workshop guided students to curate useful learning materials from the Internet and to organize their dashboard.<br />
<br />
Then, in the ‘Digital Storytelling’ workshop, the students were challenged to go a step further and make their own videos using WeVideo. They were tasked with creating videos documenting the festive seasons celebrated by Malaysians. This was no easy task as the students had to edit videos using unfamiliar tools - some for the first time. At the end of the workshop, the students were able to use tools supplied by technology to express themselves!<br />

<i>The students enjoyed the group work! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The students were also showed how the internet can aid in their individual learning. In the ‘Skill Up’ workshop, students were introduced to <a href="http://diy.org/">DIY.org</a>, a cool website that teaches you all sorts of skills - from from taking a pulse to making origami frogs! The students were really quick learners and were soon exploring other things to do on the website. We’re sure many future artists and doctors were truly inspired!<br />
<br />
In a workshop called the ‘Hour of Code’, students were given a chance code a simple program. This gave the students a rare taste of what would be a highly-demanded job in the future. The younger students were tasked to code a basic game that guided angry birds at a pig. The older students were given a more difficult challenge. They used a more advanced program called ‘Scratch’ that allowed them to program a whole list of actions and animate an avatar of their choice.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A long day, but the students were still enthusiastic!</i></div>
<br />
The students also had a chance to exercise their skills of imagination in the ‘Classroom of the Future’ workshop. Students were asked to brainstorm and then build the ultimate studying environment for the future! After their heads were filled with possibilities, they got down to modelling it with colourful plasticine, ice cream sticks and other materials! Many of their exciting ideas included wide screens and colourful study hubs filled with Chromebooks!<br />

<i>Most people wouldn't nod off in a class like this</i></div>
<br />
The teachers weren’t left out either. They were shown how they could use Frog VLE to build teaching and learning sites to be used in their schools. They were then given the opportunity to explore Frog VLE and to create a site of their own.<br />
<br />
On the third day, the students and teachers presented the fruits of their labour in a mini-conference called the ‘Gallery Walk’. The conference was attended by an extra 300 students from nearby Penang schools. A crowd gathered around the FrogAsia booth, where students had a chance to witness demonstrations of Frog VLE by teachers and students. The teachers took this opportunity to learn more about the Frog VLE from FrogAsia’s friendly staff. <br />

<br />
After a big week of learning, a final ‘Frog Champion Session’ was held where students and teachers recapped everything they had learnt in the past few days. They brainstormed for ideas on how to apply all they’ve learnt to improve the possibilities and capabilities of their classrooms and schools! After hearing the vision behind some of the ideas, we're assured that the future of education technology is in safe hands!<br />
