COTF TOUR
COTF Live! is a showcase setup to display the possibilities of using technology to empower learning. The showcase hinges on our belief in creating a learning environment that engages all students in:-
- Knowledge building
- Discovery learning
- Learning unlimited by the constraints of place and time
- Technology-empowered global communities
The whole tour explores a possible future where learning is unlimited by the constraints of place and time.
The main objective of the tour is to immerse our visitors into the learning environment of the future, where learning is inquiry-based in nature. Visitors will be led through five varied scenarios that portray the various places a typical secondary student goes to in the course of a learning day.
The tour promises to be both an enlightening and a worthwhile experience.
5 Keynote Addresses including Professor Chris Dede, Harvard University
40 Presentations from Academics, Experts & Industries
with Sharing Sessions by LEAD ICT Schools
Gaming Demonstration
Active Learning Through Gaming
Looking back to the 24th of July, 2007, World of Warcraft, the award winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) made by Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. has officially surpassed the 9 million subscribers mark. What makes the game successful and how has it become a defining icon of online gaming entertainment? Why have 9 million people around the world given their time to it?
In the Gaming Demonstration at ICET 2007, we will “walk” through a gaming scene from World of Warcraft. There, players will form a team to fight an enemy (termed as the BOSS). Team members will learn how to plan, coordinate, and strategize in order to prepare themselves to attack and defeat the BOSS.
Players are constantly tested as the game progresses with new abilities and challenges. To look at it from another angle, the player has to gain the ability to learn, adapt, and implement his skills in the world to ensure the continued survival of its gaming character. The result: better learning rates, as well as higher levels of logical thinking, and coordination.
Come join us for the full insight on how gaming, and in particular World of Warcraft, can play a significant role in shaping the future of learning in gaming.
