Abstract written by Dr Charles Chew!
In today’s digital world, the harnessing of Blended Learning as a learning approach to engage and meet the needs of the Gen Z students is gaining increasing support among educators.


Blended learning in the form of face-to-face (f-to-f) and online learning provides active and personalized learning experiences for today’s Gen Z learners.


One exciting approach to the practice of blended learning to enhance the learning experiences in science education is the TSOI Hybrid Learning Model (Tsoi, 2005). This Hybrid Learning Model (HLM) which is research evidence-based represents learning as a cognitive process in a cycle of four phases under the acronynm TSOI.


By means of an exemplar on Electromagnetic Induction Ejs Open Source Alternating Current Generator Model Java Applet ( AC Generator ) http://sgeducation.blogspot.com/2010/06/ejs-open-source-alternating-current.html  and its applications, the team of four science educators from NIE, The Academy and ADDEST will showcase how the TSOI HLM is a powerful pedagogical framework to anchor the two blended learning components for effective teaching and meaningful learning.


Some pictures from my cam-video on the actual day for my segment on using simulations

Title: Physics Educators as Designers of Simulation using Easy Java Simulation ( Ejs ) http://physicsipsg.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/concurrent-2.pdf

Hands-On / Experiments
Seminar Presentation (30 min)

Google Doc PowerPoint

Motivation:
As part of the third Masterplan for ICT in Education vision “Harnessing ICT, Transforming Learners” and align with Teacher Leadership in Professional Development, this session aims to demonstrate how the Open Source Physics community engage, enable and empower teachers to be learners so that we can be leaders in our teaching practice.

Background:
Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete scientific computer simulations. It can be used by ordinary mortals to create professional simulations. Download it from http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=7305 license under GNU General Public License Version 3. GNU GPL

Approach:
I learned through Web 2 online collaborative means to develop simulations together with reputable physicists through the open source digital library. By examining the open source codes of the simulation through the Ejs toolkit, I was able to examine and make sense of the physics from the computational models created by practicing physicists. I will share some of the simulations that I have remixed from existing library of simulations models into suitable learning environments for inquiry of physics. These simulations models are license under Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0


Future Direction:
For informal community of practice of physics teachers, go to Edumall - ICT Connection Learning Teams - Science - Physics and learn together, advancing the professionalism of educators in Singapore.

Background: What is Ejs?
Easy Java Simulations is a software tool (java code generator) designed for the creation of discrete computer simulations.
Approach: Self Direct + Collaborate
I learned through Web 2 online collaborative means to develop simulations together with reputable physicists through the open source digital library. By examining the open source codes of the simulation through the Ejs toolkit, I was able to examine and make sense of the physics from the computational models created by practicing physicists.
How can you use Ejs?
Teachers create virtual laboratory simulations can deepen professional practice through informal learning
Global Teacher learning community
‘learning-by-making’

students can conduct inquiry learning of science ( embedding meaningful ICT experiences, redesign curriculum for school )
