Workshop Outline

Teachers of any age groups may find it increasingly difficult to engage their students in learning. This workshop will examine the reasons behind and explore the elements behind learning motivation through activities and stories, including the speaker’s own homeschooling and online learning experience, and her work in introducing "learning by doing" in local schools. Participants will experience a workshop that incorporates choice and learning through different senses.

On completion of this workshop, the participants would be able to:

• discuss self-directed learning in a broader view;
• use different senses to motivate students’ learning; and
• reflect upon their own values in life and education.
