Achievement(s) of the 3 masterplans for ICT in educaton in YPS

For the 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.

This is going to be a relatively shorter post because most of the content can be found in my first and second blog entries. 

During my ESE, I observed various use of ICT tools in teaching and learning. The principal, vice-principals and teachers are generally receptive to integrating ICT into the school curriculum despite the large amount of effort and time they have to put into the preparation of ICT-based lessons. Integration of ICT into the school curriculum can be seen through the preparation of powerpoint slides to explain certain concepts in class, looking for interesting videos to reinforce these concepts and even learning trails outside schools using iPod Touch to arouse the interest of students in learning. As they become more interested in the various topics learnt, they will want to learn more and may even do their own research on the topic by themselves, hence developing them into independent learners, one objective of the three masterplans. In addition, the school had also hold an e-learning day during my one month stay. The students were expected to watch the online lecture and do an online assignment to check their understanding after that.
