TWO Bruneian teachers were selected to represent Brunei Darussalam at the Microsoft Education Exchange Summit (E2) from March 13-15 in Singapore.
Tan Been Tiem, Assistant Principal of Chung Hwa Middle School (CHMS), Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) and Hidayatallah Waqiuddin bin Haji Mohiddin from Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah School represented Brunei.
Led by Nadia binti Abdul Kadir, Education Business Development Manager, Microsoft Brunei Sdn Bhd, around 400 educators and school leaders from 91 countries gathered at the annual event.
The event served educators an opportunity to come together and explore industry trends, including emerging technologies that sup-port teaching, skills development, modern pedagogies, safe school environments, and predictive analytics that identify at-risk students.
The educators showcased their project to the global audience on how they adapt innovative ways and integrate Microsoft technologies into their classroom at the Learning Marketplace. There were also many activities such as keynote address, professional learning workshops etc.
During the event, teachers participated in the Educator Challenge where they worked in teams with teachers from other countries to create a lesson plan template that included computational thinking. The less-ons were judged based on four categories: communication, innov-ation, collaboration and equity. On the last day, they shared ideas on integrating Microsoft technologies into their classrooms in innovative ways.
Educators were also introduced to the latest Microsoft tools including Teams, Minecraft’s Chemistry Addition, Paint 3D and Mixed Reality to unleash creativity and curiosity in class.
