Everything can be done at a smart board
A vision for a technology-driven center of excellence – Port Royal infant and Elementary School, which now has access to a smart interactive board, with $10,000 in funding from PayPal GIVES, the philanthropic affiliate of multi-billion-dollar technology companies outside the U.S. When Jamaica Observers visited the official handover of the smart board last Thursday, the school’s students walked into their computer room excitedly, the board has multiple functions.
“Everything can be done at the smart board. Students can operate the blackboard and access various learning applications, for example, the notebook software that comes with it. Teachers can switch between notebook software that allows them to create various lessons and a browser that has internet access,” said Josette Malcolm, Procurement Officer at Massy Technologies. The principal said the learning tool would increase student engagement and assist teachers in teaching.
We’re past that era of chalk and talk, and we’re now moving from whiteboards to technology. With the addition of smartboards, children can now access their information with their teachers in the classroom. It will also allow for more group learning because, as you know, kids love anything they can manipulate, so it will grab their attention,” Jones said.
Jones said that with the Department of Education emphasizing greater use of information and communications technology (ICT) in teaching, schools were identifying smartboards as a tool that could advance their vision.
“When we looked at all the benefits that Smart Interaction Board brings to schools around the world, we did a global analysis and found that this is one of the best tools to put in schools because it has worked wonders in many countries, including the United States, ” she says.
How does the interactive flat panel improve education?
Active learning is paramount to maximizing STEM learning. Interactive flat panel displays bring STEM subjects to life: students can conduct labs and experiments at the display, work out equations as a team, and share their inquiries via screencasting to spark group discussion.
Develop critical preparation skills, interactive flat panel displays help students of all ages develop critical life skills. Today’s and tomorrow’s jobs require greater resilience, problem-solving and critical thinking – to survive in a competitive world, students need to be able to: Think critically, observe and analyze, come up with smart solutions for complex dilemmas, answer higher-level questions that require thinking and exploration, and learn to ask why and how to think about all sides of a problem. To prepare students for careers and college, they need to use classroom technology tools in ways that develop these critical skills and interactive flat-panel displays give students the opportunity to do so.
Collaboration skills are also important. Effective collaboration is an expectation of teamwork. While traditional one-to-many lecture formats cannot develop these skills, interactive presentations enable constructivist learning, allowing students to work together to make connections and develop knowledge.
By 2030, 30% to 40% of jobs will require strong social and emotional skills. Automation is replacing jobs that require repetitive tasks, but today’s students will be engaged in tasks that machines cannot do, such as communication, management, and application expertise. Using interactive displays with classmates can help students develop socio-emotional learning (SEL) skills—such as self-awareness and self-management, social awareness, interpersonal skills, and responsible decision-making.
