I believe many of the teachers do not even know that they are not supposed to assign homework/ worksheet in PDF format. Unless we purchase the PDF edit licence, students are unable to save the work. Answers are gone when they re-open the PDF worksheet.

Alternatively, the kid needs to copy and paste the questions in Microsoft word, then type their answers there in Microsoft word and not those PDF files. Parents must be there to help otherwise how we expect the little ones to be able to do it on their own.

Just do hard copy printout of the worksheets and activity books is the best. Problems solved and save on electricity too.

I also prefer hardcopy. Then teacher just teach via zoom if necessary. But my primary 2 girl enjoy the online lessons. More fun to her.

Very busy...have to keep checking the schedule. Learn how to appreciate the Teachers.

My Sec 4 girl is independent so no issue.

I just purchased the PDF editor. There is a promotion and it is only $8.70 now.

After the end of HBL, I think our IT knowledge will improve leaps and bounds.

Guess Zoom had not envisioned that its app would become this popular this rapidly amongst the not-so-security-aware masses, but they are moving to beef up security, 👍

Seriously, Zoom is a great app given the solutions it offers to even non-paying users!

P.S. 1 of the alternatives (cnet report) suggested is Microsoft Teams, which I'd agree is more fantastic (cos there's OneNote, Files, Chats, etcetera to drop off completed assignments, email..., all on 1 platform), but only for paying users, so...

Agreed. Zoom is a great app. Very user friendly. Using it for my girl’s school lessons, tuition, enrichment and my own exercise classes. Can’t do without it for this month.

In fact, MOE/ Schools should purchase Skype or Webex licence for their teachers to use. Do not use those free version.

SINGAPORE - All teachers will stop using video conferencing platform Zoom for their home-based teaching, after hackers hijacked the streaming of a lesson to show obscene picture to some students.

The move is a precautionary measure until security issues have been ironed out, the Education Ministry said on Thursday (April 9) night.

It is investigating the incident on Wednesday at a school in the eastern part of Singapore, and will make a police report if necessary, said its divisional director for the educational technology division, Mr Aaron Loh.

Tips to make your Zoom chat more secure

don’t share the Zoom meeting link or the meeting ID on public platforms

don’t use the personal meeting ID; allow Zoom to create a random number for each meeting

set a meeting password

set screen sharing to \"host only\"

limit recording permissions for call participants

create a “waiting room” for the call, which allows the host to manually give users entry to the call

disable file transfer

disable \"join before host\"

disable \"allow removed participants to rejoin\"
