Describe which achievement of the 3 masterplans for ICT in Education are evident in the school/classes that you are attached.

Masterplan 1:Building the foundation

In Jurong Secondary School, teachers are using multimedia resources to support their teaching, (e.g video recording, sound recording).This make lesson becomes more lively, as it’s not just about the subject content in lesson, but also get used with multimedia resources to attract students’ attention. Nowadays, IT is very commonly used, school get used with it to develop their ownership.

Masterplan 2: change and innovation

-Capacity Building

As Jurong Secondary School is a future school, students are given basic knowledge of ICT to strengthen their ICT intergration.   

-Experimentation

All Sec 1 students have to participate in “media literacy” .It teaches students to be critical about the media messages nowadays. It has led to students serving the community through the production of videos and developing 21st century IT skills.

-Curriculum And Assessment

E-learning,it takes learning beyond the classroom,students can learn themselves even stay at home.The E-learning programme helps students to cultivate self-displine and be responsible for their self-learning.

Besides of this,in ICT class students were being separated into few groups to do their group discussion and put their brain together in solving difficulties.ICT class also encourage students to use IT equipments while doing their presentation,this kind of collaboration learning.It sounds interesting and the majority of the students very enthusiastic in class.

In my opinion, ICT not only helps teachers to make their classes become more lively and interesting, but also engage students in learning. Students may also strengthening their integration with ICT,and they are ready to function it in the globalize future.
