To develop students’ ability to apply information technology, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for lifelong learning and creative problem-solving in the information age.
To cultivate students’ computational thinking and programming skills, teaching them to connect computational thinking and programming techniques to real-life scenarios, thereby enhancing their problem-solving and innovative capabilities.
To strengthen students’ information literacy, fostering the correct attitudes and values in using information technology.
Characteristics
One device for each student: Each student is assigned one computer / tablet for lesson use, so that they may acquire various IT-related skills through hands-on practice.
E-book platform: Students can access their electronic textbooks with a smart device for revision and self-learning anytime. Interesting games and daily examples are available in each unit for systematic learning.
Diverse Learning Content: The course covers 3D printing technology and modeling, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), as well as the applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Students will use 3D modeling skills to create objects, utilize virtual reality platforms to build scenes for producing 360-degree interactive projects, and employ various AI tools to generate images, videos, and solve everyday life problems.
Cross-curricular activities: Collaborate with different subjects, including the Chinese Language, Mathematics and General Studies, to organize fascinating activities of multiple learning areas connecting the subjects. In this connection, we stimulate students’ thinking and enable them to apply the knowledge in daily life.
P2: Use the unplugged programming robot Matatalab to operate the robot and design routes for navigating the community; use the programming software ScratchJr to create animations promoting waste reduction and upcycling.
P3: Use the 3D modeling platform TinkerCAD to create models of Chinese landmarks.
P4: Use the video editing software iMovie to produce videos promoting energy-saving messages.
P5: Use the electronic design platform Canvas to create digital posters advocating for green eating habits; use the microcomputer micro:bit to develop an infrared sensor-based smart home lighting system.
P6: Use spreadsheet software like Excel or Google Sheets to create statistical tables and charts; use the microcomputer micro:bit to build an automatic watering and irrigation system.
