1.2  Personal Learning Device (PLD)

School of Science and Technology, Singapore (SST) is a one-to-one school where every student uses a Macbook for their learning. The Macbook can be used with the national e-learning platform – the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) – and other educational technology to personalise and enhance students’ learning.
