3 areas of common focus for C&T
1. learning how to do research (Research)
2. understanding the difference between data and information (Analyse)
3. Drawing effective outcomes/ conclusions from the information (Apply)

All coursework subjects require research skills from students. Currently there are lots of research tools, analytic tools available for use. Yet from observation, students at our level lack the necessary skills to properly complete the research cycle. The syllabus requirements are either undefined or largely differentiated when it comes to teaching students to do research.

Personalised Digital Learning Programme may just offer us the platform and the timeframe to allow students to learn well the research skills needed that will be much needed in future and further educational needs.

It is so important, yet no core subjects seems to really systematically teach it. Seriously just look at the 'A' level students or the poly students struggle when they do their project work. It is deep end learning for them.

a. Graphics or processor intensive tasks e.g. 3D rendering or video / graphics editing likely to crawl due to low end processor n only 4GB RAM.
b. Got to confirm if it supports 3rd party cheapo stylus. Altho it shud if it has touchscreen...
c. Got to confirm if it has rear facing camera. Altho not deal breaker cos can just transfer media taken from phone etc

My thots on the ONE device that might fulfill all our diverse requirements

My thots on the ONE device that might fulfill all our diverse requirements 

# data[].attributes.body
1. Have keyboard to facilitate typing.
2. Touch enabled to facilitate drawing / inking.
3. Have rear facing camera for ease of photo / video taking. (need to confirm if this particular model for PLDP has this as it's listed as optional on Acer website)
4. Run Windows for maximum familiarity & ease of support by peers, teachers and ICT Support Team.
5. Not iOS (sorry Siti) cos my personal experience is that Google apps dun play very nicely with iOS. :(

This particular Acer model seems to hit the sweet spot based on the above analysis.

English and Literature
Device should
1. Support collaborative learning
2. Be user-friendly and intuitive
3. Allow students to make annotations

# data[].attributes.body
1) question driven inquiry
2) content building using multimedia
3) assessment for learning (using feedback)

# data[].attributes.body
Plans for PDLP
1. Use of e-books (from publishers) which allow students to annotate directly and teachers to refer to diagrams/tables for teaching
2. Use of third-party app for teaching (e.g. phet simulators, drone app, wRite-formula app)
3. Meaningful assessment (e.g. Test for understanding using online tools like Kahoot, voice recording)
4. Self-directed & Collaborative learning involving scientific thinking skills
(e.g. solving planning questions with some research done by students in groups; suggested platform used: Padlet)

# data[].attributes.body
Questions:
1. Can the students download third-party apps into the device? (e.g. phet simulators, drone app, wRite-formula app)

2. What will be the structure of Blended learning? (will it be like Term 3 where students report in alternate weeks)

# data[].attributes.body
Pedagogies used:
1. Activating prior knowledge
2. Activity-based inquiry (e.g. Practical in the lab, demo by teachers in class, mini experiments in class)
3. Teacher-directed inquiry (e.g. partial flipped classroom)
4. Evaluation (5Es) through Meaningful assessment (e.g. voice recording)
5. Self-directed learning (e.g. Planning questions)

1. Students learn differently due to digital era.
2. Nation Digital Movement

# data[].attributes.body
1. Blended Learning
- Flipped Classroom (Head)
- Practices (Hands)
- Reflections /Formative Assessment (Self/Peer) (Heart)

2. Personalized Digital Learning Programme (PDLP)
- Collect data (possible for tablet/ not for laptop)
- Analysis of performance/data
- For discussion of Team play/performance based on data
- Reflect on practices

Questions:
1. Will we want them to bring their devices to school everyday? If yes, is it feasible for them to bring it to PE lessons? (Maybe 1 in a grp of 5 students)
2. Will the device be too big to be used during PE lessons as compared to handphones.
3. Safe keeping during lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Pedagogies used for PE lessons:
1. Activating Prior Knowledge
2. Instructional Strategies
3. Reflective Practices

# data[].attributes.body
Tentative plans for PDLP:
1. Normal Lessons
- Check in/out routines using online learning platforms e.g. online quizzes, discussion forum
- Exploratory activities using ICT tools e.g. Geogebra, Desmos
- Use of video lessons to learn new Math concepts
- Use of E-books (implement from Jan 2022 onwards when all students have the devices)
- E-mode submission of assignments (selective)

2. Blended Learning Day
- Problem-Solving tasks involving real-world context
-  Flipped classroom

Questions:
1. How do Blended Learning Days (school-wide) look like? E.g. would depts be allocated the days on a fortnightly basis, across different levels?

2. Would storage space be made available if students are required to bring the devices to school?

- involve a few teacher coordinators in your department to identify the strategy/pedagogy & use the dept framework as a guide
