In this experience-sharing presentation, Mr Timothy Lim and Mr Ashok Daswani, secondary English teachers from St Stephen’s College, introduce useful Microsoft apps as learning management systems, including SharePoint, OneNote and Teams. In addition, they explain how they used these e-resources to implement innovative activities, including a creative reading portfolio and an Instagram-based speaking project. They demonstrate how these activities and projects were conducted in their classes with the popular popular and powerful book The Giver by Lois Lowry.
