Rtn Dr Keith expressed that TELK as a relatively new concept of learning, is not about learning how to use a computer and technology, but rather how it is structured to promote student collaboration and self-determination. According to UNESCO, all students will be using the Internet as a major source for self-directed learning by year 2030. Our TELK centre is an innovation in Thailand as well as the world stage, with teachers acting as conductors and students are the masters to guide their own learning.
Rtn Arnold presented a Certificate of Appreciation to our Rtn Lizzy for her generous donation to our 10th Annual Amateur Golf Tournament as our biggest fund raising event of the year.
The evening culminated with a sumptuous buffet dinner and refreshing beverages to enhance the fellowship and friendship among the attendees.
