The
Interactive Classroom: A solution for the growing economies
A
worldwide challenge of the XXI century is to assure every child has the right
and access to a good education. KIDS2SUCCESS™ has confidence in the use of
technology as an important tool in this battle, especially in growing
economies.
Educational technology is required to help close the educational gap caused
by polarized socio-economic realities in private and public education in
developing countries around the world. As we know this challenge faces some
major obstacles:
- A non adequate
telecommunication infrastructure at regional or national level pushes
back the use of on-line educational solutions in most growing
economies.
- Limited resources lower
the districts' and schools' capacity to keep up with technology
implementation plans to acquire, refresh, and maintain hardware and
software.
- Limited resources lower
the schools' capacity to keep up with adequate professional
development in districts and schools.
KIDS2SUCCESS’ interactive
classroom model is an alternative for technology integration in growing
economies because it offers a cost effective solution for technology integration
to education:
- Does not depend on
telecommunication infrastructure.
- Does not depend on
computer lab settings (multi-station requirements)
- Any traditional classroom
can be transformed into an interactive classroom by integrating minimal
equipment requirements:
- KIDS2SUCCESS™ interactive software
- The Cyber Display Station
or Interactive whiteboard
KIDS2SUCCESS™ recommends using either
the MIMIO™ whiteboard stylus system or The SMART Board™
Interactive whiteboard.
- 1 computer
- 1 Video Camera (optional)
- 1 printer
- 1 LCD Projector &
Whiteboard (if using the MIMIO™ stylus system)
- Product delivery and
maintenance is supported with professional development courses to
assure teachers can use the program effectively.
