The SWIS Webwise Parent Ambassador Group had their first Parent Presentation last Friday 19.04.2019 in the Theatre at SWIS.
This was their very first presentation and they did an amazing job. We had just over 60 SWIS parents in attendance which is a good start.
Joyce Ma, Qin Qin, Fei Fei and Santa Patel (not Claus) were the presenters.
It is a workshop 'For Parents by Parents'.
In the podcast you will hear all about the roles and responsibilites of this group, why we meet, what we do and how you can join along to our monthly meetings.
You will hear some tips and advice from the parents on today's podcast as well as some personal experiences from Santy and Joyce.
All the Digital Citizenship resources are available to all parents on the Padlet. It is our intention to set up a Digital Citizenship WeChat Subscription in the coming months for easier and faster access to resources.
In the podcast Joyce also talks about an amazing SWIS in Minecraft project that her son Allen and his friend Thomas created which took over 7 months. This was an excellent use of Screen Time which is something we talked about at Friday's Presentation and today's podcast.
Here is a link to this outstanding project which all parents and students should watch; it most certainly dispels the myth that Minecraft is just a game!
We need to focus on the quality of the Screen Time not the quantity and also on the 4'c of Innovation and Learning;
•Creativity and innovation
•Critical thinking
•Communication
•Collaboration
You can also find out more about technology at SWIS including STEM activities such as Coding&Robotics at https://innovation.swis.cn
Finally - today is Earth Day 2019; we had some volunteers at SWIS who gave up their time to help in the community yesterday. Well done Annie and Joanne. We also had members of the extended community from Zhuhai who also did some voluntary work for Earth day yesterday in Shenzhen with some of our SWIS Staff. Well done Conor Blevins (The Irish Clover).
This podcast will be recorded in Chinese with Ms.Rene Ren, Qin Qin, and Fei Few this afternoon and available on the School Website as well as Apple Podcasts, Anchor, Spotify and many other platforms.
Come and Join the SWIS Webwise Parent Ambassador Group; for more information contact your class parent representative.
Ms.Rene and I would personally like to personally thank all the parents who attended the monthly sessions of the SWIS Webwise Parent Ambassador Group since October and especially the parents who took on the responsibility of presenting on Friday.
Congratulations; you all did a great job.
