Information & Communications Technology (ICT)
The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Committee is a team of educators working to enhance the digital learning experience at Waterway Primary School.
Here at Waterway Primary School, we aim to create an ICT pervasive learning environment where responsible ICT-savvy learners thrive. - A part of our vision for the school is to see Digitally Savvy Global Citizens of Tomorrow, Today.
This is in line with MOE’s 21st CC outcomes which include Responsible Decision-Making and developing Critcal, Adaptive and Inventive Thinking. Here at Waterway Primary School, we aim to:
-
Foster Digital Literacy: We strive to develop students’ digital literacy skills, ensuring that they can navigate technology effectively and responsibly.
-
Promote Technological Proficiency: Our goal is to empower students to be proficient in a wide range of digital tools and software, enabling them to use technology as a means to enhance their learning and future career prospects.
-
Encourage Critical Thinking: We aim to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the integration of technology in the curriculum, preparing students for the challenges of the 21st century.
-
Create a Supportive Learning Environment: We strive to create a positive and inclusive learning environment that encourages students to explore and experiment with technology.
-
Collaborate with Other Departments: Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. We work closely with other school departments to integrate technology effectively into various subjects, enhancing the overall educational experience.
Curriculum and/or Programmes:
Students in Primary 1 and 2 go through ICT lessons to learn the basics of Word, PowerPoint, SLS and other tools that teachers use to aid in teaching and learning.
Future plans:
In 2024, the ICT Committee plans to embark on Safer Internet Day which aims to create awareness for a safer and a better internet, where children and young people are empowered to use digital technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.
