Overview

National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) aims to equip our students with Digital Literacies. MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) for schools and Institutes of Higher Learning to help students strengthen their digital literacy in March 2020.

Digital Literacies better enable our students, at different stages of their education journey, to acquire the digital skills required to navigate the digital age through four mutually reinforcing components in the ‘Find, Think, Apply and Create’ framework.

Curriculum and Key Programmes

Nurturing the whole child ICT is used as an enabler for enhanced learning which all departments utilize to achieve a holistic education for the students. We hope to provide opportunities for our students to be joyful and responsible digital learners through a range of quality learning experiences with technology. Students will be given more opportunities to hone their abilities in being self-directed and independent, and in the process, develop stronger passion and intrinsic motivation in learning.

ICT is infused into the curriculum to make learning more effective, engaging and interesting for our students. Lessons in Cyber Hubs, outdoor learning, learning journeys all utilizes ICT hardware and software to enhance students’ learning experiences.

Encourage experimentation and innovation through opportunities and stretched programmes For students who wish to further enhance their ICT skills, Info-comm Technology Club is a platform which offers game design, drone programming, Microbits, Movie-making, and app development.

Pedagogical Approaches / Strategies

21st century learners are active and life-long learners. They need skills and competencies pertaining to group-based problem solving and knowledge creation. Self-Directed Learning (SDL) and Collaborative Learning (CoL) are part of the development of the 21CC, as they are learning processes through which our Desired Outcomes of Education can be achieved.  The Outcome Goal is that students develop competencies for self-directed and collaborative learning through the effective use of ICT, as well as become discerning and responsible ICT users, so that they can learn and work effectively in the 21st century knowledge-based environment.

Use of ICT to promote Student Engagement

Every Department will use the ICT e-Pedagogical approach to promote Student Engagement in their subject. We hope to leverage digital technology to deepen students' learning.

The Student Learning Space (SLS) is one example that learning with technology in GMS(P) is guided by the SLS Pedagogical Scaffold which enables teachers to design technology-enabled learning experiences to enhance students’ learning.

In addition, the student iCON is a suite of Google apps including email, other app services such as Google Classroom and Google Drive that helps to better support the student’s learning and collaboration with others. These useful applications will be provided progressively and will follow the students through their learning journey from Primary school to Secondary school.
