Making connections between my ESE and MOE Masterplans for ICT in Education

The result of the three Masterplans for ICT is evident in many areas of Evergreen Secondary. Indeed, the use of ICT is not only evident but integral to the curriculum here. Teachers are encouraged to go for regular training so as to update themselves on the latest ICT resources. Congruently, the students themselves are also equally savvy, with every class having its own in-class, specially trained IT representative to assist the class or teacher during lesson time where needed.

In regards to the original vision of the three Masterplans, I would say that the school has managed to achieve the Ministry's four main goals of:

1. Enhancing linkages between the school and the world around it, so as to expand and enrich the learning environment. 
2. Encouraging creative thinking and lifelong learning.
3. Encouraging innovative processes in education.
4. Promoting administrative and management excellence in our education system.

In Evergreen, every class room is equipped with its own internet cable and high definition projector. As such, teachers can bring in their own laptops and connect to the internet during lesson time when needed. This has proven very useful when showcasing videos off the internet or online presentations through web resources such as Youtube or Prezi. Students are also encouraged to share and submit any relevant or interesting findings off with web with their classmates through the school's online portal. The process of innovative teaching and creative thinking and is thus very much evident in the school.

Additionally, there are also four computer labs in the school and as per above, each computer comes with its own internet connection, enabling students to conduct online research during during lesson time and hence, enhance linkages between the school and the world around it.

Admin-wise, the school is also well-equipped to handle any technical difficulties that may arise during school hours. There are three onsite IT officers who are always available to help the teachers should the equipment in the class or staff rooms turn faulty during school hours, thereby fulfilling the last goal of promoting administrative and management excellence in our education system.
