Fun in CHIJ Katong Primary School

AtCHIJ Katong Primary School, teachers are pushed to integrate technology into their curriculum. This aids students in their comprehension of topics by giving them a more holistic perspective on the subjects.
KooBits, an e-book authoring tool developed to host a range of multimedia tools helps users to churn out interesting and dynamic content. For teachers, KooBits acts as an agent to churn out with teaching materials where students can participate during lessons. As a result, students are more focused during lessons. For students, KooBits drives them to explore beyond their classrooms. They can tap on over 6,000 resources that come with the programme. So far, the students here have easily created digital books for the all the subjects in the curriculum.
A upper primary student at the school commented that this e-book authoring tool helped him to comprehend complex topics. The drop down box options available gets students to participate during lessons. He also felt that the software was simple and this helped him better express his creativity.
CHIJ Katong Primary School recently built a library to archive the works done by students and teachers. This provides a chance for people to share the digital books and encourages cooperation among the users.
