Online Opportunities and Risks for Students

Online Opportunities : Harnessing Technology for Learning

Deepen Subject Mastery through Communication, Collaboration and Creation

• Social media can be leveraged to promote kindness and positive acts

through the power of reach. For example:

• building a more resilient and caring Singapore
• spreading positive messages
• garnering support for low-income families and the elderly

Online Opportunities : Harnessing Technology for Learning

• While technology offers value, it may bring some potential risks such as:

– Cyber bullying – Excessive internet use – Accessing inappropriate online content – Danger with online contact

Online Risks

Managing Potential Online Risks

• Regulating time and activities
• Discerning inappropriate content
• Managing online reputation
• Respecting intellectual property

“Balance of individual empowerment with digital technology with the sense of personal, community, global responsibility”

(Author of “ Digital Community, Digital Citizen”, Jason B. Ohler, 2010)

Counselling is….

 Not about advice giving  A journey together with our students  Confidential (though not completely)  For BIG and small problems

 Ranging from ‘rants of the day’ to deeper emotional/mental health issues

 Not a miracle solution

 Can’t solve all problems  Support our students the best we can

Counselling in CHIJ…

 How can students see us?

 Via referrals from others  Walk-in

 Done during non curriculum timings

(eg: Assembly, Contact Time, after school)

FAQs for parents

 Can I find out what my daughter spoke to you about?

 Yes you can. However as counselling is confidential, you may not be able to know

all the details.

 How do I refer my daughter to see you?

 Email us!

Ms Andrea Wang – andreawang@chijsec.edu.sg Mrs Mathews – mathews@chijsec.edu.sg Ms Susan Chong – susanchong@chijsec.edu.sg

 Drop us a call via the school phone line

FAQs for parents

 Can I speak to you for consultations?

 Yes you can always arrange to meet with us to discuss about your child

 My daughter is seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist/therapist outside of school.

Can she also see you?

 Usually not encouraged (therapy fatigue, confusing for child)  Work closely with external agencies and partners  See how we can best complement each other and support your daughter best

that allow students to work together, use manipulatives, IT and games to understand the mathematical concepts

How we do in IJ…

Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract (CPA) Approach

where students develop mathematical concepts and skills progressively from the concrete and pictorial levels to the abstract level

CPA Approach Example
