through God's grace, a collaboration between my team and a small inter-divisional team from the Ministry of Education here in Singapore, will be starting next year.
we just received the wonderful news that our application for funding of approximately US$25000 has been approved, and this means we will be able to work with teachers from two schools on taking our Maker Motes approach to new contexts of learning.
i am very grateful for this partnership, because they are presently all too rare and the diversity of perspectives each party brings can only strengthen the design of the learning intervention.
my team and i are very excited about this collaboration, which is titled an exploratory study on how a GIS-based inquiry empowered with unstructured making can lead to better decision making in students about their school environment.
