As gadgets such as laptops and tablets are used by schools in Singapore to enhance teaching processes and facilitate better learning, educators said some efficiency have been gleaned but downsides such as distraction and lack of tangible results to students' grades exist.
Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) told ZDNet Asia that all local schools are currently given an ICT Equipment and Service grant to purchase IT equipment, software and services. This does not mean that schools should only spend it on specific devices but to explore how learning and teaching could be enhanced using technology, a spokesperson noted in an e-mail. |
