Our AI Software helps to detect the employee PPE in real-time. It helps to reduce the workplace accident.

Whilst reading 'Supporting future oriented learning and teaching: A New Zealand perspective' (2012) the sub-theme surrounding 'the role of new technologies' really stood out and helped me reflect on my Mind Lab journey so far. Mind Lab has completely transformed my perspective within my practice and my philosophy on teaching. The Mind Lab Postgraduate course is a strong advocate for 21st-century learning and collaborative practices. When we were introduced to the 21st-century learning skills and the SAMR model, it became coherent and really exciting to explore these two frameworks and I began to incorporate some exceptional new technologies in the classroom.

The ITL rubric contains six skills which students need to develop -  collaboration, knowledge construction, self-regulation, real-world problem-solving, innovation, the use of ICT for learning and skilled communication; this has been a powerful framework within my teaching and learning over the past two terms.

I have had the ongoing challenge of getting my students to work more collaboratively, and in my own practice I have identified the need to refine my teaching of being able to further unpack the attributes of collaborative learning with my students and get them to be able to develop the ability to effectively discuss the features and challenges of collaborative learning.

I am passionate about the need for explicit teaching of the skills needed for positive social interactions including sharing, negotiating, turn taking, managing frustrations/big emotions, problem solving and communicating effectively. This year there has been a complete restructure of pedagogy in order to give students more space to apply and practice these skills in authentic contexts, this includes working in a MLE.

My ongoing challenges are based on exploring how to provide collaborative learning opportunities where students are interdependent and how to embed and expose the essential skills of collaborating most effectively. This is something I wish to explore and practice further within different aspects of my classroom programme, and I am looking forward to effectively implementing these important skills into my practice for our 21st century learners.
