For your third post, describe which achievement(s) of the three masterplans for ICT in education are evident in the school/classes that you are attached to for your ESE. You may want to refer to your blog post about your ESE.
The infrastructure is firstly in place, with PHS having 4 computer labs out of which, 1 is set aside for CCA use. There are also 3 IT rooms and all classes come equipped with visualizers and projectors. PHS also has its own email and wireless network in place. The email in particular, has improved communication between the school and the students as well as, between the teacher and students. Students get announcements in their PresHigh email but also receive homework and instructions. During ICT day, students will turn to their PresHigh email to go about their home-based learning.
Some Masterplan 3 goals have also found home in PHS. Since preparation for oral examinations naturally takes 20% of the curriculum, the PHS English department is having its students use ICT or specifically podcasts to train themselves. The idea is for a student to record him or herself reading a passage then uploading it on the Learning Management System (LMS). The child is then not only able to monitor his or her progress, but also receive comments from peers on the reading. So this way, there is both self-directed and collaborative learning taking place.
