"Smart Boards" in Schools

We took delivery last week on three Sharp Aquos 70" presentation "smart boards". These boards are 70" monitors that can do everything your computer or tablet can do and more. They interface with the new Sharp copiers we bought so a teacher can scan a document to the board, modify it using the collaboration of the group and send it back to the copier with all of the changes intact.

Teachers can also bring in digital media and broadcasts to augment the student's textbooks. The picture on these screens are crisp and the students love them! We have been using then all around the school. Below is a picture of Mr. Horodeski's computer class using the Aquos board while doing a mapping project.

We continue to move in the direction of digital learning with the additions of Ren Web, Moodle and "Smart Board" technology as major textbook publishers make less books and provide more digital learning tools.

Blessings!

Computer Class

Students love when they have computer class! Here at Upper Room Christian School our students have computer class at least twice a week and some grades have daily classes. Here is one of our 2nd graders at her computer station learning basic keyboarding skills.

The world of Education is changing both radically and rapidly. More and more schools are switching from traditional learning classrooms to blended learning classrooms which bring into the classroom resources and ways to learn that were never available before!

We here at Upper Room are purchasing state of the art smart boards, expanding our wireless capabilities and adding Moodle to our school this year to stay on the cutting edge of the trends in Education.

To God be the glory!
