DEPARTMENT PEDAGOGY

Active learning processes with technology

Learning with technology in GSS is guided by MOE SLS Pedagogical Scaffold, where teachers design meaningful ICT-enabled student-centric learning experiences to engage and respond to students’ learning.

The role of technology is carefully planned in order to magnify learning outcomes. Teachers consider the following while planning:

Activate Learning

How will students’ focus and interest be oriented towards the learning objectives?

Promote Thinking and Discussion

How will students think about ideas and concepts? What skills and processes will students

perform? How will students build on their current understanding?

Facilitate Demonstration of Learning

How will students demonstrate their understanding and new learning?

Monitor and Provide Feedback

How can students’ learning be advanced?

DISTINCTIVE DEPARTMENT PROGRAMMES

Programmes	Objectives
ICT in Practice	ICT in Practice emphasizes on training our students to be competent in 21CC skills using technology as a leverage for their learning and be future ready.
Cyberwellness Education Programme	The Cyber Wellness (CW) education in GSS is customised to suit GSS’ student profile and school environment. The aim of CW education is to develop Greenridgeans into responsible ICT users who are able to protect themselves and be responsible for their well-being in cyberspace and have good netiquette. Guided by MOE’s CyberWellness framework which focuses on three key processes: Sense, Think and Act, the school plans and implements a holistic CW education which comprises a) the CW lessons in the formal curriculum and b) the school-wide programmes (e.g. CW assembly talks, CW Week and other CW activities) to reinforce the importance of CW and its messages. Platforms are also provided to allow students to translate their understanding into actions to advocate key CW messages. Student CW Ambassadors heighten the awareness of others to be responsible digital learners where they can evaluate their online behaviour and conduct themselves in a proper manner through different student-led initiatives.
