Educational Technology
Find out how the Educational Technology department uses digital tools and personal learning devices to support independent, active learning for every student.
About the Department
The Educational Technology department encourages Orchidians' autonomous learning through the use of technology.
We leverage the Chromebook to facilitate learning and collaboration both within and beyond the classroom. Teachers are also exposed to and equipped with various e-pedagogical approaches so that teaching & learning is dynamic, especially with Home-Based Learning and Alternative Assessments being a regular feature of life in Orchid Park. The Educational Technology department also actively explores new digital tools to enhance the holistic Orchidian Experience for each child.
Personalised Digital Learning Programme
Under the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP), every student owns a Personalised Learning Device (PLD) which enhances his learning experience. OPSS uses Google Classroom and the Google Suite of products to facilitate students in learning and collaborating anytime, anywhere.
The use of PLD promotes self-directed, active and engaged learning by our students. They are able to access MOE-curated content through the Singapore Student Learning Space, above and beyond customised and personalised notes provided by their teachers.
The PLD also assists teachers in assessing students’ learning and providing timely feedback. Additionally, the PDLP enables teachers to assess students’ learning through the creation of a variety of digital products in different subjects.
