About this blog

nibpad is where I study Korean education and keep a record of what I run into at school.

When a policy or a new system is announced, I try not to stop at the announcement, and to look at how it is actually applied once it reaches a school. Where it helps, I attach the official documents, the figures, and the original sources.

I also write about AI and other education tools I have used in class. I tend to put down what worked and what got in the way, as it was.

About me

I teach students at a public school in Korea. I am also studying computer education.

When a new policy or technology turns up at school, I get curious about why it was built the way it was, and I end up looking things up. It works the other way around too: when I am reading a paper, the first thing I usually wonder is what it would look like in an actual classroom.

So this blog has classroom writing and research writing mixed together. Some of it started from a question that came up in a lesson. Some of it started because I read something and wanted to try it myself.

I try to keep what I have checked myself separate from what I think. If something here is wrong, I will correct it.

Everything on this site is written in a personal capacity. It has nothing to do with the official position of the school where I work, or of any other institution.
