Contributed by  ANG JOO LIAK Present Situation: When a new teacher comes you, he/she is often bewildered by the number of accounts and passwords needed to access important resources online in internal/external portals. Even current teachers sometimes forgot which account has which password to be used. Improvement: ICT could collate a list of accounts and passwords each teacher would have, for what purpose, and who to request for assistance or reset of passwords if necessary. This would save some time and frustration. These accounts may include login to: 1. personal laptop 2. NYGH portal (formerly results portal, with new features) 3. Student Case Management System 4. OPAL 5. IAMS 6. iEXAMS 7. SLS

Short circuiting occur if not careful Improvement: Reuse the cover of a B100 container as a holder for the two carbon rods by drilling two holes parallel to the other.  The cover act as a holder and being parallel will prevent short circuiting in the connection. B100 container is not used because it is not stable, being plastic, it may topple and spillage occur A smaller glass beaker is used so less solution is needed and less “accident “will happen Safety and cost is taken into consideration
