Ghiyasuddin School takes a new step with technology

Ghiyasuddin International School has taken a technological step forward with the introduction of a 3D Classroom, Raspberry Pi and the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Program.

A special assembly was held at the school today to introduce the three new technological advancements in teaching.

Head of the School’s Science Department, R.B. Prasham said that the introduction of the 3D Classroom would improve the education of the students and most students understand things quickly when they see it.

He said that Science Classes would be more effective through a 3D Classroom.

Along with the introduction of the 3D Classroom, Ghiyasuddin School has also started a program to teach programing to the students of the Grades 1,2 and 3 using the software, Raspberry Pi.

The school’s Head of Department for Computer, Fathimath Sithaa said that this is the age of technology and the current generation needs to be accustomed to computers and computer programing.

Weekly Programing Classes are set with Raspberry Pi according to the School.

The Head of the school’s BYOD Program, Reginald Wilson said that the BYOD program would create a new interest among the students to the lessons that are being taught.

He said that a number of international universities and colleges have successfully adopted a BYOD system and so when the students go for higher education; they would be familiarized making it easier to study.

Wilson said that some students are hesitant to talk in class but with the use of smart devices for teaching, such students can ask their questions in writing.

Using Microsoft’s OneNote Class Notebook, lessons would be taken on an online platform so that when a student cannot come to the school for any reason, they would not be missing a class.

BYOD Program would be used to teach the students of Grade 5-10.

Ghiyasuddin School said that new technologies introduced today would help greatly to their students’ education.
