During my primary through secondary school, lessons where carried out classrooms whereby teachers used chalks to write on the blackboard. It was ocassionally accompanied with the over head projector once in a while. Well imagine all that copying that we have to do gosh! Thats alot of notes to take.
After going to the polytechnic and studying multimedia, that was when my eyes to technology and learning begin to take a twist. We had to use computers almost 24/7.
Had to deal with computers in almost every lesson.
Apart from using the computer daily, we also had to be familiar with the SP E-Learning Blackboard to check our grades or to consult our lecturers online. E-learning takes us to another level of education as more schools and universities are adopting e-learning. Top Universities such as NUS offered to students what is known as the Integrated Virtual Learning Enviroment (IVLE) a web based tool for resource and learning.
The e-learning program named edveNTUve cost NTU S$6 million when it was launched. The online oriented material allows dynamic content to be sent to students at anytime and any place. It is likewise for students like myself studying in SIM. We have the UBlearns Blackboard to check our materials and to send emails out to lecturers as well.

Blackboard on Ublearns
With techonlogy ever changing and improving, schools have be on the alert to think of innovative ways to teach students. With most schools using computers to teach students, who knows what the future holds for us now. Perhaps there will come a time whereby we won't even need to attend classes anymore and everything will be done online. It won't take a long time before everything we use will be Holographic.
It's just a matter of when! Initializing dateline for technology advancement...................
