Ms Evi Mazlinda, HOD ICT
Saint Anthony Canossian Primary School
“ Interactive devices excite pupils,
hence learning is definitely more fun,
enjoyable and effective for them as
compared to the latter (pen and paper
traditional trails).
Pupils are more receptive to learning
and are very enthusiastic in
participating in all activities.”

33. Feedback from the Secondary Schools
Ms Hon Sok Foon, HOD ICT
Clementi Town Secondary School
“This project has definitely transformed the humanities
learning trail. It has helped to develop in our students 21st

It has enabled teachers to monitor students’ learning and give
students feedback on their learning while on the move.”

Ms Sharon Phua,
HOD NE & Student Welfare
National Junior College
“A breakthrough powered by the
capabilities of mobile technologies
which appeal to the IT-savvy learners...
