Based on your enhanced school experience, how do you think the current Masterplan 3 may affect your role(s) as a beginning teacher?

I suppose as a beginning teacher, I would be expected by my colleagues and students to be familiar with basic ICT such as PowerPoint, using YouTube as a learning tool in class, planning class activities around ICT (research on the internet, using basic programmes such as photoshop, music editing technology, Microsoft Frontpage), GoogleApps, the various platforms MOE has available for teachers such as Audacity and so on. To an extent, I would also be expected to keep abreast of developments in ICT. Given that the internet disseminates information at such an incredibly fast speed these days and everyone is exposed to so much information and new technology at least almost every week, there is not much excuse to lag behind.

As mentioned several times before, a teacher no longer imparts knowledge but facilitates the gaining of knowledge. Based on how we are in the middle of the third ICT Masterplan, the facilitating of the gaining of knowledge goes hand in hand with utilizing ICT as a sophisticated learning tool in the classroom.
