Miss Piyanuch, my dear colleague told me about her lovely experience with her students. She told me that last Tuesday evening she taught Grade 4 students about living things around them. She asked the students the question: "What is your favorite animal?" All students were eager to answer the questions: "I like dogs. I like cats. I like birds. I like dinosaurs....." Most of the students answered the questions except Chuwit whose face looked very thoughtful. She decided to ask him the same question " Chuwit, what is your favorite animal?" Chuwit stood up suddenly and answered "I like snakes but I have a question in my mind?" Miss Piyanuch responded "Please ask your question, Chuwit?" Finally he asked shyly "Why does the King like the Monkey Cheeks?" All the students laughed.
At last Miss Piyanuch understood at once why Chuwit thought that "the King likes monkeys". She realized suddenly that to fulfil Chuwit's understanding about "The Monkey Cheeks Project (Kaem Ling)" she must explain further. (Kaem Ling Project initiated by His Majesty the King is a drainage work from upper area through the canal southwards to a large storage canal near seashore.)
Would you please introduce tools for Miss Piyanuch to help Chuwit? Don't answer "Wikis" because it is my answer.


Ms. Wilairat, every time I read your teaching experience. I felt enjoyable. It's wonderful about "Wikis" I like it.
ReplyDeletei would like to say Wikis but it is your answer. So I would say Google however, when i use Google it still come up many web links including Wikis :) Your article is very up to date because now most part of Thailand are flooding :(
ReplyDeleteIt is so interesting everytime you combine wiki with the stories around you. Wiki can truly helps a lot to answer the questions we are not sure.
ReplyDeleteWikis are good for collaborating on projects or trying to share things I think they may better than video conference for sharing knowledge

Thanks for your sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog because of your experiences.but I try to find about The monkey cheeks project (kaem ling) .I didn't find it,please tell me how to search and show the links on wikis . thanks for your help
I quickly read the link about why the project is called "Monkey Cheeks." Perhaps a video showing a monkey eating a banana and storing it in his cheeks, along with the explanation on the website you linked, can help the students understand the name?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I really enjoyed reading about your experiences with students and how they can connect to wikis. =)
Thank you everybody to share your ideas about Wikis. Your idea is worth for me to develop Wikis with my teaching and learning. See you next week about my teaching experience.
