The ExCEL award, presented to teachers by MOE, aims to promote and recognize the implementation of innovative practices in schools. Three of our teachers, Mr Loke Hong Yew, Mr Dennis Toh and Mr Yeo Tiong Meng were honoured with this prestigious award in the category of Best Suggestion of the Year (2007). The award was presented by Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, at the MOE ExCEL Fest 2008.

 

The team’s winning suggestion depicts the use asynchronous online discussions to create a vibrant learning environment for students in Design and Technology. This online platform and its features provide a conducive environment for students to engage in the process of problem-solving through critical-thinking.

 

Our three award-winning teachers are now working with other departments in the school to expand the boundaries in knowledge creation through innovative teaching and learning.
