We are a forward-looking language school in Jakarta with the desire to push the boundaries and the desire to embrace technology in class if and only if it proves to be really useful.
With the cost of these devices is constantly decreasing and increasing the range of functions, many schools around the world are turning to interactive displays and touch screen blank similar educational technology. Not wanting to be “left behind” but also not wanting to lose money, we decided to make a four-month trial with a SmartBoard, which has come to an end. As director I had three main issues:
1. Teachers can adapt quickly and easily, and can learn to harness the full potential of the material?
2. No interactive whiteboards improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching going on in my classroom?
3. As the only language school (so far) to use the smart card in Indonesia, its use will attract more than word of mouth marketing and be a profitable long-term investment?
1. Teachers can adapt quickly and easily, and can learn to harness the full potential of the material?
I am deeply interested in technology and computers (and their role in education), so I’ve been a breeze for Smart representative in Jakarta. But I knew that not all my teachers were so quick to get rid of their white board markers. I had more faith, though, because after a few training sessions and a quick lesson in some tests, even my teachers were more technophobes browsing the board with ease. Since the basic function, all teachers can immediately use the blank ballot because it uses a traditional board. Within hours, teachers are incorporating images, sound, Internet browser and interactive activities at work on a whiteboard. Success.
A complaint of teachers is that the “recognition of his pen SmartBoard ‘was too slow, resulting in messy writing. This was not a problem SmartBoard, was a computer program. After cleaning, defragmentation Update hardware and lightweight, the SmartBoard computer control ran lightning-fast and has no complaints more.
Now I’m sure that teachers can learn to use these devices quickly, although some teachers, of course, make the transition easier than others.
2. No interactive whiteboards improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching going on in my classroom?
In short, yes.
Enough of these devices in the classroom makes the room more fun, nice place to be. students’ attention “is drawn to the edge, even before it is lit.
Once operational, students and teachers can enjoy the interaction with the card so it is not possible with conventional panels. Photos, videos, interactive exercises and text can be manipulated and produced in a simple way anyone. The SmartBoard has added a great asset to the learning experience of my school, and Internet access on board has been invaluable. I’m not sure how difficult vocabulary faced before we were to use ‘Google Images’ to flash a photo in seconds. We also regularly use news websites to add actual texts of many of our current classes.
In terms of improving quality of education, Smartboards have been a resounding success.
3. As the only language school (so far) to use Smartboards in Indonesia, the floor will attract more word of mouth marketing and be a profitable long-term investment?
It has been difficult to prove. The cards are not cheap, and must be accompanied by a computer and LCD projector, so this is a question that is going to keep looking. Smartboards have been in force since the beginning in some classrooms and other traditional blackboards. Most students (96%) said they prefer to deal with conventional interactive whiteboard. The students themselves also noted, however, that the most important factor affecting their level of satisfaction was the quality of the teacher and the same teaching. Interestingly, there was no particular demographic (young / old / men / women) who prefer to learn with interactive white boards more than others.
Among the students have a high level of satisfaction with our teachers, and re-enter on a high. The school, sign up to www English. aimjakarta. com, is prosperous and word of mouth marketing is flourishing, but it is impossible to say that this was due to Smartboards alone. For us, the process was an overwhelming success and we plan to invest in Smartboards for all classes during 2007/2008.
If you’re thinking of investing in these devices, do not think it will be the answer to the problems of their school. However, when used in combination with the great masters, interactive touchscreen boards can be a powerful marketing tool and, especially, can greatly improve the quality and effectiveness of education in school.
