“I’m heartened by the enthusiasm displayed by our students and teachers,” noted MOE’s Director of Educational Technology, Dr Cheah Horn Mun.
He added, “The rich resources developed through this competition can be shared and further enhanced for use in learning and teaching through platforms such as learning communities that are established within and across schools. This is another important step forward to encourage a culture of co-ownership of learning and sharing.”
