Our Journey
Our Journey
The Apple iPad is our school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD).
The iPad (10th Gen) will come bundled with a stylus (Apple Pencil - 1st Gen) and keyboard (Logitech Rugged Combo 3).
We piloted the use of iPad for teaching and learning with a Sec 1 class for a Term in AY2020, where iPads were loaned to students.
Blended learning, self-directed and collaborative learning with iPad was a regular feature in every lessons for the class.
We rolled out PDLP to our Sec 1 to 3 students in August AY2021.
Students will apply Digital Literacy skills (curate, connect and create) and learn with technology in a technology-enabled environment.
Transforming learners through technology
Future-ready Ethical Digital Learners
Digital Literacy will feature more strongly across curriculum.
New Media Literacies (NML) are defined as the competencies to create, connect and curate information in the digital networked environment. Students will learn NML skills to navigate the online space confidently, and use technology healthily.
Students manage information across modes and move seamlessly through various sources.
Search & Organisation
Students apply digital tools to locate, collect and sort information for present and future use in a principled manner.
Evaluation
Students navigate within and across digital sources to check and make judgement on the quality and usefulness of the information for decision making or problem solving.
Students use digital creation tools to craft, modify and combine different modes of information for personal or group expression.
Students use digital communication tools to participate in the exchange and synthesis of information or ideas online.
