ICT

ICT is a key enabler in students’ learning. To develop students’ Digital Literacy, students are equipped with a range of Digital Competencies, through ICT programmes such as Code@SBPS and Baseline ICT skills training, as well as integration of EdTech tools into lessons. This is undergirded by Cyber Wellness education addressing contemporary issues, ensuring their safe and responsible use of ICT.

1) Cyber Wellness

Through Cyber Wellness education in CCE, students learn to be respectful, safe, and responsible users of technology and be a positive peer influence, advocating for the good of the community online.

These are the key messages which students will understand:

1.) Embrace the affordances of technology while maintaining a balanced lifestyle between offline and online activities.

2.) Be a safe and responsible user of technology and maintain a positive online presence.

3.) Be responsible for personal well-being in the cyberspace.

The Cyber Wellness curriculum is organized into the following 5 topics

Topics	Learning areas
Cyber Use	Maintain a healthy balance of their online and offline activities (i.e. excessive use of technology)
Cyber Identity	Develop a healthy online identity Express oneself online appropriately to be authentic and achieve congruence between online and offline identity
Cyber Relationships	Develop safe, respectful, and meaningful online relationships (e.g. address cyber bullying, build positive relationships)
Cyber Citizenship	Understand the cyber world and make informed choices about participation in online activities (e.g. accessing online content with malicious intent/inappropriate websites with content that is violent, sexual or harmful in nature) Recognise and protect oneself and others from online risks associated with people who may have malicious intent (e.g. hackers, scammers, online predators) Have a positive presence in the cyber community and be a positive influence
Cyber Ethics	Create and share online content in a responsible manner (e.g. not sharing content from questionable sources and not propagating deliberate online falsehoods) Respect copyright

2) Code @ SBPS

In line with the national focus to equip students with digital literacy, the school aims to provide all students with exposure to coding to develop their computational thinking skills. Code@SBPS is structured to provide all Primary 3 to Primary 6 students exposure to block programming, with each level’s coding program building on what students had learnt in the previous year.

Primary 3 – Coding using Lego WeDo 2.0 (Integration with Environmental Studies)

Primary 4 – Coding using micro:bits (Integration with Outdoor Education)

Primary 5 – Coding using micro:bits (Maker-centred Learning Experience)

Primary 6 – Coding using Sphero (IMDA Code for Fun)

3) New Media Literacies (Baseline ICT skills) Training

The Baseline ICT Standard and New Media Literacies (NML) is a set of ICT and literacy skills that are infused into our curriculum.

Baseline ICT training provides the basic level of knowledge and skills that our students need to help them apply and demonstrate when harnessing technologies for learning.

Our students are taught how to apply digital tools to locate and organise information (Curate), how to use digital creation tools and applications to create digital artifacts (Create) and how to use digital communication tools to communicate ideas with peers and share information (Connect).
