Some new technology for education

I thought I'd write about the new technology in our school, since it's related to the subject.

First piece of new technology is digital signage. A huge LED TV was left over from the distance education, and it was decided to be utilised somehow. A few hardworking students from the school's administrator team took the charge of the project. The big screen is now in the main hallway, where it's quite impossible not to notice it. It can be used in informing students of upcoming events, showing the day's menu, spreading propaganda, or whatever comes in mind. It was considered a rather big change of appearance to hang the screen on these nearly 200-year old walls.

The other new thing, which is more at experimental level, are tablet computers. The school ordered about 20 Apple iPads to be tested in teaching by students and teachers. These devices are handy for searching the intarwebzzz for information, browsing maps, playing Angry Birds etc. There is a portable case that can be moved from classroom to another. The case includes a dozen iPads and a charger. So far the feedback has been mostly positive, which defines the future of the experiment.
