Stay Home LAH! – Learning At Home is an initiative started by the Teaching Scholars’ Programme (TSP) Club during the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative saw us creating a website compiling interesting bite-sized educational and recreational resources. Being future educators, we felt the need to contribute to the community, and wanted to gather resources to supplement students’ Home-Based Learning experience.
With Singapore’s Circuit Breaker in effect and the school holidays pushed forward, the aim of this initiative was to meaningfully engage students in the community, ensuring that the joy of learning takes place even at home. When I first suggested this initiative, I was unsure if it would be well received by my fellow student teachers, especially since everyone was still adapting to their new stay-home lifestyle. I was very heartened by the overwhelming support that I received - I was able to gather around 30 student teachers from all years of study to work on Stay Home LAH!
The ideation part of this initiative was the toughest. We spent a lot of time brainstorming about how our initiative would look like. I spent a few hours every day looking through our resources and thinking of new ideas that we can implement. During the May school holidays, we had over hundreds of unique visitors accessing our website. It’s not a huge number, but we are hoping to continuously expand and improve the site.
