In order to answer the question "We are teaching but are they learning?", we created short video clips of our students in Infants, Juniors and Seniors, talking about academic honesty. Atiqah created an excellent video of one of our students, for our Senior School example. These videos were very well received by the audience. If you are Tanglin Trust School staff you can access our presentation, including the videos, here.
The seminar was very interesting with a series of short presentations from a variety of institutions, including Sunway College (Malaysia), Singapore Polytechnic and National University of Singapore (NUS). Our International School Librarian's Network (ISLN) colleague Foo Soo Chin, gave an interesting talk on 'The art of thinking'.
There is a blog about the event, by Katie Day, on the ISLN site and a Storify by an SMU Librarian (@rockbrarian) [unfortunately not accessible on TTS computers]. Following the seminar, we were given a tour of the SMU library; here are some photos taken by United World College (UWCSEA) librarian, Katie Day.
This is the programme for the event:
