Hey dear readers, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve been blogging and life’s been keeping me pretty busy as of late. I know it’s probably pretty depressing to hear the news every day now about the coronavirus and many of our lives and plans have been disrupted because of it. But let’s try to keep a positive view on what’s to come ahead. Speaking of which, one of the things that I found recently that might be pretty helpful is to spend this quality time to really get to learn some new things that I’d otherwise find hard when I’m busy.

One of the things I’ve been watching recently is the series called: Seven Worlds, One Planet which is a BBC Earth documentary that highlights the wildlife in the 7 different continents. It’s one of those epic documentaries that really shows us how incredible nature can be and how small we are in this world when compared to it. After watching this documentaries, I found that we sometimes get so caught up with what’s on mainstream media and forget how much we’ve missed out on in learning about the world that we already live in.

From an educational standpoint, I wish that we can utilise these tough times to push our kids to really think about the broader view of what there is out there in the world. Documentaries itself can shed light on information that we previously relied upon teachers to tell us in schools, but why do we do that? I think lots of quality content is out there available for us to learn from and do our own research after using the internet to verify the validity. Take for example, I was researching about the Orang utan situation in Borneo, where the last few thousand species exist today. Thinking about when I grew up seeing them every week at the zoo, this really disheartens me and it makes me think about how we play a part as a society in preserving this nature and good earth. Let’s all think about this and I hope that this piece can serve as a simple guide for parents to take action during this time of crisis, to get your students actively learning (instead of gaming or on social media) about new issues and reading up on relevant topics to build an informed citizen of the world tomorrow!

Ps: I’ve just finished up my masters in edtech and have returned back to Shenzhen lately to take on my new role as an edtech director at an international school. Will share more on some things I’ve recently discovered in the world of edtech and how I hope it can help to support our learning, particularly in this time of epidemic.

親愛的讀者尉间，我知道我已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)期沒寫博客，生活一直讓我最近很忙击罪。我知道現(xiàn)在每天聽到有關(guān)疫情的消息可能會(huì)令人沮喪哲嘲，所以我想反思及寫寫我們?cè)谶@時(shí)刻里能做的一些有用的事。讓我們對(duì)即將發(fā)生的事情保持正面看法外邓！說到這些撤蚊，我最近發(fā)現(xiàn)的一件很有用的事情就是花這段寶貴的時(shí)間來真正學(xué)習(xí)一些新的東西，而這些東西本來在我忙碌時(shí)會(huì)很難找到损话。

我最近看過的一件事是名為“七個(gè)世界侦啸，一個(gè)星球”的系列，這是BBC地球紀(jì)錄片丧枪，著重介紹了7個(gè)不同大洲的野生動(dòng)物光涂。這是一部史詩(shī)般的紀(jì)錄片，真正向我們展示了自然界有多么不可思議拧烦，與之相比忘闻，我們?cè)谶@個(gè)世界上有多渺小。觀看了這些紀(jì)錄片之后恋博，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我們有時(shí)會(huì)趕上主流媒體的眼光齐佳，而忘記了我們?cè)诹私馕覀円呀?jīng)生活的世界時(shí)錯(cuò)過了多少私恬。

從教育的角度來看，我希望我們可以利用這些艱難的時(shí)期來促使我們的孩子真正思考世界上存在的事物的更廣闊的視野炼吴。紀(jì)錄片本身可以揭示我們以前在學(xué)校中依靠老師告訴我們的信息本鸣，但是為什么要這樣做呢？我認(rèn)為有很多高質(zhì)量的內(nèi)容可供我們學(xué)習(xí)硅蹦，并在使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)驗(yàn)證有效性之后進(jìn)行自己的研究荣德。舉個(gè)例子，我正在研究婆羅洲的猩猩狀況童芹，今天那??里存在著最后幾千種涮瞻。想起我長(zhǎng)大后每周在動(dòng)物園見到它們的過程，這確實(shí)讓我感到不安假褪，這讓我思考了我們?nèi)绾卧诰S護(hù)這個(gè)自然和美好地球的社會(huì)中發(fā)揮作用署咽。讓我們一起思考一下，我希望這本書可以作為父母在危機(jī)時(shí)期采取行動(dòng)的簡(jiǎn)單指南嗜价，讓您的學(xué)生積極學(xué)習(xí)（而不是游戲或社交媒體）新問題并繼續(xù)研究/閱讀艇抠。相關(guān)主題，以打造明天的世界級(jí)公民久锥！

附言：我剛剛完成了edtech的碩士學(xué)位，最近又回到深圳异剥，擔(dān)任國(guó)際學(xué)校的edtech主管一職瑟由。在我最近在edtech領(lǐng)域中學(xué)到蠻多的新知識(shí)和技巧。我將分享更多信息冤寿，以及我希望它如何能幫助支持我們的學(xué)習(xí)歹苦，尤其是在這段被困在家的時(shí)間。
