If there was a silver lining to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has to be how it accelerated the change that is long overdue for educators in Singapore. Once considered the primary source of knowledge, teachers’ roles have rightfully changed in response to rise in use of technology for work, entertainment and education. Technology has enabled the knowledge-transmission stage of a typical classroom to be placed in the hands of learners, such that learners now have a choice of when to learn, where to learn, how fast lesson goes, and how much to learn within a weekly cycle. Face to face lessons are used more effectively, to deepen students’ understanding through social and active learning strategies. At EJC, we believe that learning is both a social and personal endeavor. We want them to have fun learning and to teach one another as part of their learning process.
