Future Schools to lead new push for high-tech in education

Future schools have been designated to pioneer the use of ICT in education

. Some of the projects as follow:-

( 1 ) Virtual-reality labs : -

Labs will be set up where students can explore three-dimensional environments, using computers with large screens. Students can take on identities as 3-D characters to navigate environments like the human heart or insides of plants. Teachers can use these tools to illustrate physical processes like photosynthesis and digestion.

( 2 ) Personal learning portal:-

An e-learning portal will let students choose how they want to learn-as different students learn in different ways. The school will use the online portal to provide options like videos, podcasts and chatrooms, which students can use to further explore topics discussed in class. Teachers will also be able to offer online tests tailored to each student's needs. The software will generate questions based on how a student has answered a previous question, so teachers can better assess their ability.

( 3 ) Interactive games:-

With the use of interactive whiteboards and individual voting devices, teachers can incorporate games into the curriculum to make learning more interesting and lively. Class assessments can be conducted in the form of games, in which students key in their answers for multiple choice questions from their seats and see the collated answers appear on the screen immediately. By linking up classroom systems wirelessly, students from different classes can also compete with each other.

( 4 ) Community of learners:-

Schools will help students access forums, blogs and video-conferencing, hence equip them with tools like tablet PCs, global positioning system ( GPS ) and digital cameras so they can take their classes outdoors. For instance, students will be able to learn about the history of leadership , taking pictures of the voting places and then embedding these in maps they can draw up from their GPS devices. These can be put online so residents can join in by adding their own stories or feedback.

( 5 ) Global academy:-

A virtual campus in the form of an e-learning portal will enable students to learn any time and any where. Students can connect with others students and teachers at satellite campuses and other schools. For instance, students who are in Beijing attending classes under the school's bicultural studies programe will be able to attend classes held in Australia via video-conferencing. They can also participate in classes held at exchange programme schools through online modules.
