InfoComm Technology

ICT Committee Goal

To nurture each pupil in TVPS to be Competent Users of ICT

Approach
The ICT Committee adopts a holistic approach to the learning of appropriate skills and values towards ICT usage.  Our programme seeks to enable pupils to become competent users of ICT.

In line with the school’s ethos of preparing learners for life, ICT skills are taught to students to equip them with the necessary InfoComm skills to engage learning.  The planned exposure and skills are designed to ignite their learning and allow them the means to maximize their potential not just as consumers of technology but as creators with technology.

Foundation ICT Lessons:
The Foundation series (P1 to P4) aims to equip students with access to the various learning platforms within the MOE ICT ecosystem, such as Student Learning Space, Student Icon; and also build basic competencies in the use of collaborative tools, Data Collection tools, and Presentation and Production skills.

From Primary 1 to Primary 3 - We build the foundations for ICT use.

Primary 1

• Logins and passwords

• Student Learning Space

• MS Word

• Google Classroom

Students learn the use of these within the context of their English Lessons, applying these skills to complete tasks within their English Curriculum and using these skills in conjunction with their learning of the English Language.

Primary 2

• Google Classroom assignments - Retrieving and submitting assignments

• Google Documents

• Powerpoint

Students continue their use of these tools within their English Language learning, utilising the storage capabilities of google drive to store and continually work on their work. At the end of Primary 2 students submit a written work of their own to their teachers via google classroom.

Primary 3

• Google Documents - collaborative aspects, sharing and editing

• Google Slides - collaborative work on presentation slides

• Google classroom

Students at Primary 3 learning new skills and their use within the context of Social Studies, deploying these skills to actively collaborate with each other on presentation slides and using google docs to collaboratively work on scripting.  The tasks employed are to encourage students to use technology to work collaboratively, developing their 21st Century Skills as well as technology tools that enable collaborative work remotely.  These form the foundation for technology enabled learning.

Primary 4 - To be implemented in 2026

Upper Primary ICT Lessons:
The upper primary series of ICT lessons will focus on equipping our students to be producers versus consumers of content.

It will focus on giving them basic skills in creation of content on platforms such as video and adobe, providing them with opportunities in video production and editing, use of tools such as photoshop.  These take place within the subject areas of Art and Music.

For Primary 5
Video editing and use of photoshop.  Music making with apps such as Garageband.

For Primary 6
Coding for Fun - The Code For Fun (CFF) Enrichment Programme is a national-mandated programme that is offered to Primary 6 students in TVPS. Through this 10-hour standardised curriculum, students are exposed to coding and computational thinking and their applications to daily lives. Students will undergo sessions that allow them to understand basic programming concepts and develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. They are given opportunities to apply their knowledge gained through an activity where they will individually programme a dance using their Sphero robotic kits. Students are also introduced to basic concepts of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity concepts.

Coding for Fun is the finale programme that exposes students to programming.
