As explained in the three MPs, not every local school would be on same page regarding the use of ICT in the classrooms. However, there is a standard baseline so that every school has at least a common basic foundation on which they can build their ICT knowledge and application on. During my ESE period, I was not able to observe much of the usage of ICT in the English Language and English Literature lessons, but I was able to observe how the school incorporated ICT in its administration, specifically in the Secondary Three streaming options. The school administration created a option poll in the Parents' Portal on their school website and in their briefing to the students, they explained to them how to choose their Secondary Three subject combination options in the portal with their parents.
I think the entire process was very well thought out. It allowed for the parents and the students to come together and be involved in choosing the combination for the Secondary Three academic year. While the student was encouraged to be independent in choosing their own choice of subject combination, they were still able to receive proper consultation from their parents before making a decision. Also, instead of spending hours pouring over endless paperwork, this option poll allowed for quicker processing on the school's administration side. Students can access and check out the result of their assigned subject combination from home with their parents too.
The increased use of ICT in the schools will definitely make lessons more interactive and interesting, and at the same time, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the school's administration processes.
