Dual Facets of Learning Beyond Classroom: Virtual & Immersive
The ubiquitous use of technology has made ICT skills a basic literacy for the future and this new literacy, coupled with the school vision of nurturing future-ready citizens with character, has prompted the need to re-define learning beyond classroom, in a borderless world. Hence, “Dual Facets of Learning Beyond Classroom: Virtual & Immersive” is conceptualized to define a new learning environment for the future where the school reckons that a virtual and immersive environment is essential to prepare our pupils for the future.
True to the school's spirit of innovation where the teachers are encouraged to constantly question the status quo and the ways things are being done, teachers re-invent how overseas immersion programme can be implemented to be in alignment to the school's vision and strategic thrusts in developing our pupils holistically and adopting ICT for teaching and learning. By leveraging on technology extensively before and throughout the entire trip, technology is used to complement engaged learning activities such as mind-mapping, news reporting and timeline creation as pupils apply a variety of skills (namely reflection, observation, comparison, sorting and organizational skills) in their learning.
Essentially, not only will pupils use technology for engaged learning, the new learning environment will provide an excellent platform to broaden pupils' global outlook as they interact and collaborate with real counterparts beyond Singapore. Having to be independent and to work and live as a team during the trip will also help to build our pupils' resilience and character – an alignment to the school's vision of nurturing future-ready citizens of character.
