Digital Literacy Programme

In our rapidly evolving digital world, it's more important than ever for our students to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate technology safely and effectively. That's why Fairfield has developed our Digital Literacy Programme, designed to empower our students with essential digital competencies. The strengthening of students’ digital literacy and technological skills is also one of the key strategic thrusts in the MOE EdTech Masterplan 2030.

Programme Overview
Our existing Digital Literacy Programme was updated in 2023, starting with our enthusiastic Primary 1 students and has since expanded to other levels. The programme complements the existing use of tech-enabled teaching and learning in our classrooms. When students go through the updated Digital Literacy Programme, they will be exposed to all 9 digital competencies under MOE’s digital literacy framework through the 6 years in Fairfield. This will ensure that every student benefits from a solid foundation in digital literacy.

Learning Platform
The digital literacy modules are mainly assigned within the SLS (Student Learning Space) portal, where students can learn at their own pace, anytime and anywhere. These modules are thoughtfully designed to adopt a spiral approach, gradually building on technological skills and new media literacies. This method ensures that learning is progressive, with each level delving deeper into the digital world.

Programme Highlights
- Technological Skills: Students will learn essential technical skills through modules such as touch typing, using a web browser, taking screenshots, and understanding the basic functions of Microsoft Office applications.

- New Media Literacies: In today's digital age, understanding the implications of our online actions is crucial. Our modules on cyber etiquette, digital footprints, copyright awareness, and managing personal information aim to cultivate responsible digital citizens.

Recognition and Achievement
We believe in celebrating our students' achievements. Upon completing all modules for their year group, students will be awarded a unique badge for their level. These badges not only recognize their hard work and dedication but also encourage a sense of pride in their digital literacy accomplishments.
