The Evolution of the Smart Reading Community

To promote professional growth in smart teaching, Zhiqing Elementary School initiated the "Smart Reading Cross-School Professional Learning Community." Entering its 9th year in 2025, the community has expanded its vision to "Zhiqing i-Common Good," fostering collaboration among teachers, students, schools, and international alliances.

Facing the AI era, the community focuses on "Pedagogical Logic." Technology is the booster, not the driver. We ensure that learning objectives are clear before integrating digital tools, creating magic in the classroom without becoming tools of AI.

🛑 The Obstacle: Fear of Being Observed

Many schools have lesson observation systems that sit unused because teachers fear cameras and judgement. This "Image Burden" was the biggest hurdle Zhiqing faced initially.

Key to Success: Giving Teachers Psychological Safety

Founder Teacher Hsu Hui-Ling and the administrative team utilized the flexible settings of HiTeach + AI Sokrates to lower the barrier, while directors led by example.

🛡️
Flexible Settings for Teacher Comfort
  • Shy? Record only the screen, not the camera feed.
  • Anxious? Set to "Private View" first for self-reflection before sharing.
  • Analysis only? Generate AI data reports without video recording.

The Result: From Passive to Active Sharing

By demonstrating how Sokrates data empowers professional growth, more partners join every year. In the 2025 series, Principal Chang Jui-Ting personally demonstrated a "Double Green Light" open class, growing alongside the teachers.

"HiTeach realizes a smart environment where 'teaching has data, decisions have evidence, and learning has joy.' Enjoying the process allows us to keep moving forward!"

Prof. Hsu Yu-Chien (NTUE):

"Language ability accumulates over time. In tech-assisted classrooms, avoid overly fast pacing or dazzling operations that blur the focus of learning."
