Chiu Sheung School Parent Day (Jul 2013)

Background
My consulting team did an eLearning Pilot Project with Chiu Sheung School (CSS) in March 2013. (Reference: e-Learning Consulting - Reference Case of Chiu Sheung School - Fast-Tracking e-Learning Enablement Project ). It was a quite successful one. We even received a compliment letter from her Principal, Mr. Chim Hon Ming. We were invited to set up a booth to introduce our organization, WebOrganic, during the school's parent day on 12 July 2013.

Booth and School Hall Screen
Apart from setting up a booth at the school entrance, the school hall main projector screen was used to display our organization's introduction, our project videos, as well as some videos on the positive use of the Internet. We did receive greatest exposure to parents on such day. I deeply thanks CSS for their kindness and respect to our work.  




Delighting Parents
Knowing that parents may need to wait before meeting class teachers, we prepared a leaflet of QR code for killing time. There were 20 QR codes, arranged as 4 channels with different themes. At the back of the leaflet, it was the brief introduction of WebOrganic. 

The first channel was about the videos of our iPad e-Learning Pilot Project at CSS. The second channel is to get benefits from the Internet (e.g. using Taobao to save money) and avoid troubles (e.g. setting up agreement with children on Internet usage). Channel 3 is about eLearning projects we did for other schools. The last channel is in Cantonese which is about the positive use of the Internet (e.g. avoid Internet addition).

The feedback of the leaflet was quite good. All the printed copies were distributed out at around 10am. Since we just set up the playlist for videos created by other users, we cannot track how many parents watched such videos through our QR leaflet. Hope this will improve in the future.   

Display Board
There was one display board about eLearning. It was great that CSS formed a eLearning taskforce to promote eLearning, and she obtained resources to upgrade her wireless infrastructure as well as acquiring 30 iPad to start their eLearning journey. I believe we played an important part to accelerate the whole process. 


Special Remarks
Thanks for the Open Lesson at HKIEd Jockey Club Primary School (Ref: e-Learning Consulting - Open Lesson at Jockey Club Primary School ) early this year, which kicked start our conversation with CSS. 

Special thanks to Mr. Brian Tsang to make my wish came true. I wished to play basketball at school playground because I always saw students playing happily during their P.E. lessons. Finally I played basketball with Nic, Samson, and 7 non-Chinese-speaking (NCS) students from CSS. We also played volleyball and skateboard. Our sweat marked a beautiful full stop to the engagement with CSS this academic year.
