Digital and Visual Literacy

EDGE Digital Literacy Programme

Empowering Students to Think Critically, Act Responsibly, and Create Confidently in the Digital Age.

Our Purpose
The EDGE Digital Literacy Programme equips students with the essential skills to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Across levels, students develop key 21st Century Competencies (21CC) such as:
- Communication, Collaboration and Information Skills
- Critical, Adaptive, and Inventive Thinking
- Civic, Global and Cross-cultural Literacy

Through hands-on learning, guided reflections, and collaborative projects, students learn to become discerning, safe, and empowered digital citizens.

Primary 1: Foundations in Digital Responsibility

At the start of their digital journey, P1 students are introduced to the fundamentals of digital safety, screen time management, and responsible device use.

• Learn about digital safety and security

• Explore how to manage screen time and develop self-regulation

• Create awareness of digital decision-making

• Design posters to express their learning during a Gallery Walk

Focus: Digital responsibility, safe online habits and early communication skills.

Primary 5: Communicate and Create with Digital Media

P5 students deepen their digital fluency by creating original video content, learning both the creative and responsible aspects of media.

• Learn video-taking and editing techniques

• Collaborate in teams to storyboard and film

• Present videos during a Showcase and Award Ceremony

• Reflect on learning through peer feedback and self-assessment

Focus: Responsible media creation, teamwork, and critical digital judgment.

Our Learning Approach

The DL Programme is anchored in experiential, reflective, and values-based learning:

• Reflective Practice: Students reflect on their growth and decisions across the module.

• Real-World Application: Projects mirror authentic digital tasks like poster design or video production.

• Values-Driven Use: Students are guided to use digital tools with empathy, respect, and integrity.

• Progressive Design: Skills and complexity deepen from foundational awareness (P1) to creation and communication (P5).

Our Impact

Through the EDGE DL Programme, students become:

• More aware of how their choices affect themselves and others online

• More skilled in using digital tools to express, collaborate, and create

• More responsible in navigating online spaces with care and confidence

 Through the programme, students grow into future-ready digital citizens who live out EFPS’s vision of “Lives Empowered, Lives Touched” — in every swipe, click, and post.

Lights, camera, action — and edit! Our students are putting their video editing skills to the test by creating their very own productions.
