Welcome to Group Scribbles

Welcome to the Singapore Group Scribbles (GS) space. We provide here a one-stop space to allow our GS extended team (LSL researchers, our school collaborators and our international collaborators) to contribute and share ideas, papers, lesson plans, documents, and any artifacts.

We obtained a 3-year grant from the National Research Foundation of Singapore for our project entitled "Flexible Collaboration for Interactive WhiteBoard (IWB) Classrooms".

To date, three pilot schools (Mayflower Primary School, Fuhua Secondary School and Whitley Secondary) are involved in this research project. GS has been explored in various subjects like Science, Mathematics and Chinese (both Chinese and Higher Chinese) in these schools.

We have setup a GS live server for visitors to experience the actual look and feel of using GS. GS live can be accessed via the URL
