Has any of the masterplans impacted you as a student? Share your experience of how ICT has been used in the classes you attended as a student (if applicable).

In 1997, I was in upper primary school. Prior to that, there were no classes I can recall of that used ICT except the old-school projector. 1999 was also probably one of the first times I entered the computer lab quite regularly - which was new - to do an animated NE quiz and to attend typing lessons after PSLE ended.

In 2000 when I entered secondary school, I had computer lessons in Secondary 2 which further introduced me to the use of ICT. I was taught how to use Microsoft Excel and to build webpages using Microsoft front page. The use of Microsoft PowerPoint in class by teachers was also slowly becoming more pervasive.

Though NUS is independent of MOE, I should probably highlight that when I entered uni in 2006, technology was part and parcel of life. NUS used the IVLE system - which was about seven years old the time we matriculated - which ensured a lot of our academic lives was tied to the online world. It is like Blackboard in NIE but much more sophisticated and streamlined.

There are no particularly creative lessons using ICT I can remember as a student. However, I've watched online how teachers have used ICT in a creative and entertaining manner in recent years (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blOrY-nEGaE&feature=relmfu, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKviYiZhtZY) and have been introduced as a contract teacher to more sophisticated ICT that I can use in class - such as a MCQ quiz that can be carried out as a class with students using an easy-to-understand hand-held device to key in their answer.
