the British Journal of Educational Technology - special issue on Augmented Reality

ten months' ago, i shared that Sebastian Habig (University of Duisburg-Essen) and i had been awarded editorship of a special issue themed on Augmented Reality, by the board of the British Journal of Educational Technology (BJET).

Sebastian and i are very happy to bring you Volume 51 Issue 3 of BJET, which has just been published today :-)

we hope you enjoy reading it, just as much as we have enjoyed putting this special issue together for you :-)

Sebastian and i would like to thank the board of the journal, for so graciously entrusting editorship of this special issue to us.

we would also like to thank all our contributing authors, without whom this endeavour would have been nought.

thanks be to God.

Now open for registration: our in-service course on designing game-based learning environments

my team and i are very grateful to the administrative staff at the Office of Graduate Studies and Professional Learning (GPL), National Institute of Education, for so kindly helping us mount a professional development course on designing game-based learning environments.

we first shared about IER0018 Designing authentic game-based learning environments last month.

registration for the course is now open, and closes on the 10th of July.

the course is targeted at in-service teachers from any disciplinary domain, but as it is hosted by the GPL's Professional Learning & Continuing Education portal, members of the public are also free to sign up :-) the course is part of the portal's Learning Sciences and Innovation series.

our team is grateful to God for affording us this opportunity.

Geographical Investigation (GI) with the Internet of Things - data collection approval granted

My team and i are very grateful to our administrative colleagues at the Office of Education Research, National Institute of Education, and, to the Corporate Research Office, Ministry of Education, for so kindly granting us Data Collection Approval for our Geographical Investigation (GI) grant to help teachers design curricula around the Internet of Things (IoT).

Thanks to everyone's help, we received our Institutional Review Board approval from our university within 37 days, and our Data Collection Approval from the Ministry within 25 days.

We are so humbled by the help we have received with respect to this process.

If you are a teacher or school leader reading this, and if you would like to know more about our project, we would be privileged to engage you in conversation :-)

Maker Motes: learning with the Internet of Things (IoT) featured in the annual publication of the National Institute of Education :-)

my team and i are very grateful to A/P Tan Seng Chee, A/P Chang Chew Hung, and Dr Chua Bee Leng, as well as the hard-working team from the Centre for Innovation in Learning (in particular Mr Ray Thong), at the National Institute of Education, for so graciously affording us the opportunity to share our work on learning with the Internet of Things with a wider audience, through the Institute's annual publication, Learning@NIE.

Specifically, the feature documents our General Elective offered through the Nanyang Technological University, namely AGE08D Designing Learning Environments with a Focus on the Internet of Things. we received the invitation to be featured in November 2018, and - given the context of the Covid-19 pandemic - we are particularly grateful to the editorial and publishing teams.

we thank God for this blessing.
