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.
To level up teachers’ competency in the use of EdTech, ETD suggested that the school may use “Choose Your Own Adventure” (CYOA) as a tool to identify teachers’ readiness and map out a school EdTech PD map accordingly. Here is the link to the CYOA: https://forms.gle/WQTvZdjPjf3H4eYM7 https://go.gov.sg/cyoa22-custom
Here are also some SLS subject guides which departments may find useful while designing e-Pedagogy lessons: https://go.gov.sg/slspdslssubjectguides
To encourage the use of SLS, ETD suggested the use of SgLDC library [https://go.gov.sg/sgldclibrary] and subject-specific e-Pedagogy lesson examples [https://go.gov.sg/eped-lesson] to enable teachers to adapt from existing lessons within SLS.
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.
There are some resources for MOE AI-enabled SLS tools to support customised of learning. They can be found in the EdTech Masterplan 2030 site (under Category A in “Implementation Resources”). Please find the link here (intranet login required).
The school was interested to find out on upcoming webinars for AI tools. Here are some professional learning opportunities the school may find useful:
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
o 19 and 21 Mar AI in Education FA-Math Webinar 1 and 2 - The school may sign up and obtain more information here: https://www.learning.moe.edu.sg/ai-in-education/ai-in-sls/ai-in-education-events/
Should you have clarifications or need any further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kok Thong, Shaihba, Beng Yu and Anna

For this consultancy session, it is focused on our school practices on TECH.
The respective IP Heads and their team members gave their inputs in the Google Doc and shared their thoughts and plans with the school and ETD team.
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.
