nurture self-directed learners who have digital literacy
develop engaged learners who are responsible cyber citizens
nurture resilient students who demonstrate life-long learning attributes
Student Digital Literacy Programme @ Peiying
The School provides opportunity for each child to engage in Self-directed Learning and Collaborative Learning in an Wireless Environment digitally-rich in information communication tools.
Peiying students will have the opportunity to engage in learning activities utilising a variety of ICT platforms. They are infocomm-savvy and digitally ready to harness the potential of ICT in meeting the technology-driven needs of the future.
Students Digital Literacy and Technological Skills
ICT Baseline Skills:
The school programme begins by establishing a strong foundation in ICT baseline skills such as Touch Typing and Device Familiarity & Operations at the lower primary.
Leveraging Digital Platforms for Enhanced Learning:
Beyond the ICT baseline skills, our school programme also focuses on integrating digital tools into the curriculum to create engaging and enriching learning experiences for our students. We leverage the power of commonly used applications and online digital platforms such as Microsoft applications and Google Workspace for Education to enhance teaching and learning at the middle and upper primary levels.
Description of the nine Digital Competencies.
Digital Competency | Description |
Digital Safety & Security | Understanding of online behaviour and awareness of how to protect oneself in the online space. |
Digital Responsibility | When navigating the online space, demonstrate respect for oneself and others, and practise safe, responsible, and ethical use. |
Digital Knowledge Currency | Keep up to date with technological developments and the use of digital resources, as part of learning for life. |
Computational Thinking | Employ computational thinking together with technological tools to solve problems, e.g. when developing and testing solutions. |
Digital Information Management | Employ effective strategies to locate information and resources, and exercise discernment by evaluating the accuracy, credibility, and relevance of information. Distil and synthesise essential content from the often large amount of information available online. |
Digital Communication, Collaboration & Participation | Leverage digital platforms and tools to communicate ideas, connect with others, and contribute constructively to a common goal. |
Data Competencies | Read, understand, interpret, manipulate, analyse, and present data in meaningful ways. |
Device & Software Operations | Understand how devices and software work in order to use them effectively and productively. |
Coding and Programming | Utilise a variety of digital methods such as block-based programming, text-based programming, or prompt engineering to create digital artefacts, or to develop, test and debug solutions. |
Code For Fun:
As part of our post-PSLE program, our Primary 6 students participate in a 10-hour "Code For Fun" workshop designed to introduce them to the exciting world of technology and computational thinking. This workshop covers a range of key areas:
Computational Thinking: Students will learn four fundamental computational thinking techniques, providing them with a structured approach to problem-solving applicable across various disciplines. These techniques include decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design.
Programming and Robotics with Sphero Bolt: Our students will gain hands-on experience programming and controlling Sphero Bolt robots. This practical application will solidify their understanding of coding concepts and introduce them to the basics of robotics.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): The workshop provides an introduction to the concepts of artificial intelligence, exploring how machines can learn and perform tasks that require human intelligence.
Cybersecurity: Recognizing the importance of online safety, students will learn about cyber attacks and security. This section will cover potential online threats and equip them with strategies to protect themselves and their data in the digital world.
