Reality or virtual race???

MP 3 is implemented in accordance with the “teach less learn more” policy.

To achieve the aim of “teach less learn more”, it is definitely a MUST for our students as well as teachers to be tech-savvy. In addition, students and teachers must learn to research and filter information adeptly. With the wonders of ICT and brilliant human minds, we can then learn independently and collaborate with other people at anytime, anywhere. This is how we overcome the limitations of space and time.

We are all living an era of information explosion. Even adults like us find it difficult to filter, digest and absorb the whole load of information available on the internet, needless to say our young learners. HOWEVER, WE must still learn to overcome the difficulties and challenges, unless YOU want to be KO-ed in the reality (or virtual???) race.

Since we cannot reverse the technology trend, we shall go according to the flow and blend in with it.

So, let’s welcome WIKI, BLOGGER, and FACEBOOK etc. with open minds and open arms.

Face it.

MP 1, MP 2, MP 3. MP 4?!

I remember the 1st time that I touched a computer was 13 years ago. That was when I was in primary four. I still remember the typing speed tests and labyrinth games. In fact, I still keep the certificate that certified my glory in the labyrinth challenge. How time flies…

And so, I am in the generation which went through MOE’s 3 ICT reform stages (Masterplan 1-3).

If my memory did not fail me, MP 1 was the days of the big bulky desktop computers with the BIG 5.25 inch FLOPPY DISK; MP 2 was the days of the similarly bulky desktops with the small 3.5 inch FLOPPY DISK and ZIP drive; MP 3 is the present state of the thin LCD monitor desktop with VCD/DVD drive, and not forgetting the portable laptops that work all wonders. Time really flies…

This shows how technology is advancing with ultra speed. Who knows laptops might be phased out one day and be replaced by high-tech contact lenses which process global information with just… a *BLINK*!

It’s amazing how Singapore’s IT education is transforming from providing basic infrastructure to engaged learning to self-directed and collaborative learning in just 12 years. At this rate, I think we can anticipate MP4 coming up very soon.

Welcome to the era of the high-tech global village. Be WOW-ed by the human spirit of chasing after time.

我的“第三春”

I used to have 2 blogs- 1 personal and 1 for my NUS Chinese module.
Current situation: the former has been stagnant for years (with only 3 pathetic posts); the latter is extinct.

So now, here comes the 3rd blog of my life...
No, not because I 心血来潮.
It's for my ICT module reflections.

I am definitely not a keen or enthusiastic or creative blogger.
But hey! let's be positive! I am trying to be more "blog-efficient" and "blog-effective". (^_^)
Ooooooooh... and i shall take this chance to polish my RUSTY English.
