Habi Hour

Does music support student learning? How do we use music to enrich a learning experience? In this episode of Habi Hour, let’s listen to our learning experience designers, Chess and Amiel, and Manghahabi Teachers Bettina, Kat and Mike, as they share how they use music in their diverse teaching and learning contexts.

Let’s see how we can carefully craft and design the elements of our learning environment - from the space, the people, to the processes, and how music can be part of the space too!

TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. With most of our learners as a captive audience, educators have turned to the app to create learning content and connect with their learners.

It’s been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live. One thing that we’ve noticed is how the pandemic has pushed almost everyone to use technology a lot more than we used to. In this Episode of Habi Hour, we listen to Kaye, Ronel and Jarrent share their thoughts and experiences in using Educational Technology (EdTEch) in a creative and purposeful manner to enrich the learning experiences of students and teachers alike. While this episode is particularly useful for teachers, this conversation is also for anybody who works from home and uses technology in meetings or collaborative work.
