My team and I were also privileged to have a good exchange with him about his work at TESOL graphics and ours at #SingTeach, our teacher-friendly e-magazine. Looking out for more collabs!

Really enjoying hosting his talk for @rppg-t4i.bsky.social's 4th webinar series on "Evidence Ecosystem in 'Close-to-Practice' research" - a term I've never heard before. Fascinating to hear about the work and research the @natinstteaching.bsky.social does.

It's an absolute pleasure to be able to host Prof @sinwangchong.bsky.social , Visiting Scholar to #NIE with the RPPG team last week! Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience with us, and for introducing us to colleagues at the @natinstteaching.bsky.social, Drs Ellen Turner and Calum Davey

Guess I'll recommend #BlueArk nonetheless! Might be good to decide which years you might want to export in case you end up like me.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Verdict on #BlueArk: It was a very useful efficient way to export my tweets to #BlueSky. 1171/1808 tweets were exported-mostly original tweets. But guess what, all tweets from 2007-2019 were personal and private (yes, I'd joined twitter in my college days). I then painstakingly deleted them 😅

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Very interesting that this tweet, written in 2021, is now quite the joke on #BlueSky.

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

I just watched half of the documentary, Buy Now, on Netflix and the simplicity of online purchase is the reason why it's sinister too. Heading out to the shops could be one solution.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

I don't want to start from scratch to build my BlueSky personality so I just tried migrating my 1808 tweets using BlueArk for USD$4.90. Waiting to see if it works. If it does, it's a whole new world!

Q: with respect to Minister's aspiration of the pedagogy of one, what are your views? Mutlu: Pedagogy of one has been shown to be powerful for certain types of learning. But learning is much more than mere acquisition. We need to blend with social constructivist pedagogies.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Qn: Why is teachers’ Trust in EdTech more pertinent now, in the era of GenAI than before in the era of Web 2.0? Does it affect their acceptance leading to adoption? Beware of confirmation bias, and also not to lose trust immediately when an error occurs.

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

He suggests to think about specific pedagogical approach when using these tools. Inquiry based learning is a good approach, before giving them the tool to sensemake, rather than to generate responses.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Q&A session: What is your view on students replacing their learning with AI generated answers? How do we ensure AI is use as an aid for student's learning, instead of using AI to complete their homework?

110

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Great conclusion for considerations!

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Research on AI was embarked on to understand our own intelligence. We need to discern when to use AI and when the risks are too great. Consider what the long term implications of using AI on our own competencies are. Research in long term effects is still lacking.

110

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

A good reminder that the more we use AI, the more our own competencies could decline. Perhaps the way forward is really on how we augment our cognition with AI.

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Despite the promise of AI, Mutlu reminds that it's not always possible to develop mathematical models of everything.

110

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

In a private school in the States, AI is used to help students gain content knowledge for about 2 hours, followed by about 6 hours of working on lifelong skills. If that's the way forward, then assessments of students really should change.

110

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

Why isn't it prevalent in mainstream education then? Many different factors affect the effective application of AI. Researchers really should be mindful that it is not just AI but AI in an ecosystem.

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

The opening video on new ChatGPT4.0 was really impressive. There is some evidence of impact of intelligent tutoring systems. And AI can be an applied tool for teachers and students.

Honoured to have Professor @MutluCukurova here with us at #RPIC2024 Day 3 as our last keynote speaker on "Beyond the Hype of AI in Education to Visions for the Future"

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 29/05/2024

A huge privilege to be able to host @bpenuel and his wife, Edie, at the #RPIC2024 conference. Thank you for sharing your work. I'm really encouraged by the possibilities RPP affords! It was also a joy moderating your Q&A session.

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 28/05/2024

I really liked her closing at the end, that research knowledge needs to influence practice, and vice versa! And mindsets, skills and capacity on both sides need to change for the troubled waters between reach and practice to be bridged. #RPIC2024

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 28/05/2024

Professor Elaine Munthe, 4th Dr Ruth Wong Professor in Teacher Education, began #RPIC2024 with the opening keynote.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 16/04/2024

So, so thrilled to finally be able to meet @mobilemobilizer and fan-girl in person! Thanks, David, for being such a generous mentor and friend since we met online in 2020! And for the lovely walk and dinner today with @mobilizemichael, Krista, Gary, and Sophie! Talk again soon!

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 22/12/2023

So glad this arrived so quickly after seeing it on @blakeacutler's tweet. A glimpse into the future because it's my first 2024 book! Hope to finish before 2023 ends! 😄 Congrats, and thanks for putting all Q Project's insights together, @mark_rickinson, and colleagues!

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 13/10/2023

A lovely end to #EIS2023 having lunch with Arild, @MaryAbdo, @cheryl_kfseah, and @vness_rose. Thanks for the lovely time.

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

@viviant88's point about who gets a seat at the table really resonates - Have been thinking about us when we do research on education issues in Singapore, how much of practitioners' voice do we include in the conversation, what are the pain points they want to find out? #EIS2023

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Struck and challenged by what @MicaelaCronin said on how these conversations helped her to think what her job is to do. #EIS2023

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

And I'm not sure what @robynmildon is thinking about this car example but I think it's helpful thinking about market forces and the whole system for cars! #EIS2023

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 11/10/2023

Also really agree that we tend to think more about the innovation and evidence but have not reached or thought more about the assessment, organisational readiness and system #EIS2023

Knowledge Brokering as a musical? How cool of Emmah, Megan and Sally to helpfully put together the role of the knowledge broker and what a KB does like in a musical. Resonates with so much of what I do & want to do. Thanks for sharing KTIPs too! #RISummit I miss musicals. sobs.

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 20/09/2023

Still #RISummit-ing. Very thoughtful reflections and responses by Ranjit on the higher education culture, or lack thereof, on engagement and impact. Seriously nothing short of a culture shift, leadership, and individuals' capacity (and mindset shift, might I add!)

010

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 19/09/2023

Start with the beginning and the end at #RISummit! @HallGed's survey findings across several countries for the #ResearchCultureUncovered podcast on hopes and fears vis-a-vis research culture is a helpful reminder that doing research impact needs to be value-driven and valued.

000

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 19/09/2023

A little slow getting started on #RISummit But it's so good to start with @JennyGRankin hearing her thoughts excitedly on empathy and how important it is to help others change their minds, and making data "available over the counter" #researchimpact #impactculture

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 04/09/2023

Exciting to be presenting this at #EIS2023 on behalf of the Project Impact team, funded by the Education Research Funding Programme, @MOEsg @eisummit2023

Finally considering to set up another account elsewhere, given the absurb changes on Twitter and sad to risk losing my go-to gurus on #knowledgemobilisation and #researchimpact. But, perhaps it's time. Mastodon seems the one to migrate to. Any other recommendations?

Also glad to see more research that looked into the importance of trust and partnership building! @TCI_ca's "Innovative implementation" pointed me to useful HBR articles and I love the Authenticity-Competence-Empathy framework. Looking forward to the course on Cultivating Trust!

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 02/12/2022

Guess the questions now are, have we already lost sight of that? How can we consciously and effectively build that into our organisational SOP? I'm also wondering if empathy can be developed.

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 02/12/2022

Now that it's Dec 2022, with the pandemic seemingly behind us, I'm struck by the critical questions she asked, such as, "How can we avoid losing sight of the key role of trusting relationships in our post-pandemic world?"

100

Lorraine Ow @lorraineow.bsky.social · 02/12/2022

"If this is the case, the field of implementation should focus on the strategies we can use to facilitate communication, collaboration and sensitivity in order to build the trusting relationships that seem to be at the heart of successful and rapid change efforts."
