Education Technology Department

At SACPS, we empower our students to become confident, responsible and future-ready users of technology. Through purposeful learning experiences, students develop digital skills and apply technology meaningfully to learn, create, communicate, collaborate and solve problems. They also explore emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and develop an awareness of the safe, responsible and ethical use of technology. Through these experiences, we nurture students who are equipped to learn and thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Objectives

• Develop digital literacy and skills by equipping students with the knowledge and skills to use digital devices, applications and emerging technologies confidently and responsibly.

• Foster meaningful learning experiences by leveraging technology to make learning more interactive, self-directed, collaborative and creative.

• Empower students to use technology effectively to create, communicate, solve problems and enhance learning outcomes.

• Develop responsible digital citizens who practise safe, ethical and responsible use of technology, including AI and digital content.

Digital Literacy & Technological Skills (DLTS)

DLTS provides students with a progressive foundation in digital skills from Primary 1 to Primary 6. Through age-appropriate learning experiences, students develop the confidence to use digital devices, applications and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), while learning to use technology safely, responsibly and ethically.

Primary 1

Students build their digital foundations by learning to operate digital devices using a mouse, keyboard and touchscreen. They learn to log in securely and keep their passwords private, as well as open, use and close basic applications. Students also begin developing basic keyboarding and touch-typing skills.

Primary 2

Students develop their ability to use technology for learning and creation. They learn about AI and AI-enabled features in SLS, while developing an understanding of safe and responsible technology use. They continue to strengthen their keyboarding and touch-typing skills and create simple PowerPoint presentations by adding images, text boxes and animations.

Primary 3

Students build their skills in managing and creating digital content. They learn to organise digital files and folders, create PowerPoint presentations using text, images and animations, and apply basic design and presentation principles. Students also upload, submit and share their work using online learning platforms such as Google Classroom and SLS. They develop an awareness of responsible digital content use, including the importance of citing sources.

Primary 4–6

Across P4–P6, students deepen their understanding of AI and strengthen their ability to use digital technologies safely, responsibly and effectively. They explore AI and its applications in everyday life and learning, while developing their digital creation skills through tools such as Canva to design and create presentations. Students learn to recognise the benefits, limitations and risks of AI and practise using AI appropriately and responsibly. They also develop stronger digital safety and security practices by protecting their digital accounts and personal information, managing passwords securely and understanding how to prevent misuse of accounts across different digital platforms. As they progress through the levels, students develop greater ownership of their digital safety and apply their digital skills with increasing confidence.

Code for Fun (P4–P5)

Code for Fun (CFF) is integrated into our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM Sustainability. Through hands-on coding experiences, students develop foundational computational thinking and coding skills while exploring emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). This integration supports our ALP’s aim of empowering our students to thrive in STEM, while developing their problem-solving skills, creativity and confidence in using technology to explore real-world challenges and deepen their appreciation for sustainability.

InfoComm Club

The InfoComm Club provides students with opportunities to extend their digital skills through hands-on and creative experiences. Students explore digital media through photography, graphic design, video production and stop-motion animation, using tools such as Canva, Photopea and digital creation applications.

Students also explore computational thinking and digital making through coding, micro, sensors, electronics and prototyping. Through design thinking activities, they learn to identify problems, generate ideas, develop prototypes and refine their solutions through testing and feedback. These experiences nurture creativity, problem-solving and collaboration, while giving students opportunities to use technology to turn their ideas into meaningful creations.
