I am also very pleased to inform you that 'I love my library' Video was very well received by NLB folks and students. We have shown this video in a couple of schools and it was warmly received. The Serangoon JC students had a gala time and we have used the video during our outreach and 900 students watched it. We have sent copies to the braches and they will screen it during the programmes, talks etc.

Most importantly, I have screened it today. We are on course at out Learning & Development Division. The trainer is Patrick Jones from United States. Jones is a frequent speaker at library conferences, having visited all fifty states, as well as in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. He liked the Video and requested for a copy and I gave him a copy of it. He sought permission to screen it in USA and during his talks. It is a moment of great achievement for the School and New Media Arts Team.

Professional Learning Communities

MPLIN seeks to nurture Professional Learning Communities among teachers across schools / subjects to improve pedagogical practice.

Designed and implemented by teachers for teachers, this first-of-its-kind initiative leverages on social networks for participatory communication and virtual worlds for real time interaction.

Community stakeholders are partnered to value-add to education through expertise / resources.

Increased interaction among teachers nurtures a reflective practice culture and ownership of professional development, leading to students’ engagement in everyday learning.

Professional Learning Communities

Dufour and Eaker (1998) state, “The most promising strategy for sustained, substantive school improvement is developing the ability of school personnel to function as professional learning communities.”
