Digital Technology in Teaching and Learning

Yayasan MENDAKI (Council for the Development of Singapore Malay/Muslim Community) is a pioneer Self-Help Group formed in 1982 dedicated to empowering the community through excellence in education, in the context of a multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore.MENDAKI's programmes largely target the bottom 30 per cent of the Malay/Muslim population and are therefore highly subsidised. They are mostly preventive and developmental programmes to provide early assistance to the beneficiaries so that they will be school-ready, able to perform in school and ultimately be future-ready. The programmes are designed to supplement or complement national initiatives.MENDAKI works extensively with partners that share and support its vision and mission. They consist of government agencies, schools, mosques, Malay/Muslim organisations, employers, community centres and MAECs, family and student service centres and many more.

Topic and Synopsis:Learning everyday concepts with robots and the Internet of Things (IoT) by Dr Kenneth LimHave you wondered about air quality in your home and at school? Have you thought about what happens when a robot moves around? In this talk, a team from the National Institute of Education will share how these questions have inspired teachers to design lessons in science, mathematics and geography to help young people connect what they study in the classroom with our everyday experiences. Dr Lim’s team will share examples from how they have helped teachers in Singapore and in Bandung, using low-cost devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT). Time will be set aside during the session for a brief demo / hands-on.Technology in teaching and learning: understanding the roles of teachers and parents by Mr Airi Bujang and Mdm Seri RahayuWith the rapid expansion of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the recent years, it has become important that we are aware of the fact that there is a need for our educational practices to be modified in order to enhance student’s learning experience. A purposeful infusion of ICT into school curriculum is indeed the means to making what is taught in schools more relevant and appropriate for our 21st century learners; who are surrounded by many digital communication tools and ubiquitous networked applications. Our presentation aims to share on how the rampant and purposeful use of digital technology, in and beyond the classroom, is providing our students the opportunity to learn through self-exploration and discovery with the guidance of our teachers. This has not only broadened their knowledge but also has enhanced their critical thinking, a skill necessary to be future ready. This presentation further explains on how parents could play a pivotal role by supporting the use of Technology in learning process. Leveraging on Technology for Enhanced Learning by Ms Rosezita Md HusseinTechnology enables students to take an active role in their learning by allowing them to access information and communicate at any time, from anywhere. The Mendaki E-Tutoring Scheme leverages on this affordance of technology to provide students with the opportunity to explore concepts learnt, understand how these concepts are applied in context, and in turn, apply these concepts in real-world settings.Tutoring Using An Online Platform by Ms Nur Faezah Abdul RahmanSharing her experience on using e-MTS, on online platform, discuss the advantages of using technology to teach and the challenges she faced.
