Follow-up by ETD after the session:

Thank you for meeting us on 1 March 2024 and taking the time to share with us your EdTech plans for the year ahead.  


The session allowed us to better understand the needs of the school in your EdTech journey. Please find key points of discussion from the meeting:

 

i. Strengthening Dept-level EdTech Practices: 

The school team shared that the focus for 2024 will be on e-Pedagogy with the use of SLS and that 4 departments (EL, Math, Science and MT) will be in consultation with cluster ETOs to enhance EdTech implementation in the classroom. 


Other possible areas of support with departments may include curriculum planning and building digital routines.


ii. Greater Customisation of Learning: 

The school also shared that they will like to explore customisation of student learning by tapping on the affordances of SLS and its AI features as a key lever to deepen student learning.


o   11 and 12 Mar SgLDC Virtual Meet 1 – There will be presenters from schools sharing on various topics, including the use of AI. Presentation Synopses can be found here: https://go.gov.sg/24vm1synopsis and registration link here: https://go.gov.sg/24vm1reg

Follow-up from ETD after the session:


To support the school in establishing TECH key practices, the Guide to TECH for Schools serves as a useful resource as it equips schools with the essential tools and self-help resources to establish or strengthen TECH key practices within their departments, as part of the “Transforming Education through Technology” Masterplan 2030 (or EdTech Masterplan 2030 for short) key initiative to Strengthen School and Department Culture of Collaboration and EdTech Practices. The Guide to TECH for Schools can be accessed here.


Slides 5 to 17 were previously shared during the meeting on 4 April 2024. The school may wish to review these slides for a recap of the information shared. Slides 19 to 22 provide access to the school package(s) for each key practice. 


Each school package contains suggested actions and resources to establish the respective key practices based on the school’s/department’s current practice. ETOs encourage the school to explore the school packages for the key practices they are interested in. 


Should any clarifications be needed, please do not hesitate to reach out to ETOs Anna, Beng Yu and Shaihba.
