Smart Schools

    Another importance subject in ICT courses that I have learned was about Smart School. Before this, I just heard about it did not know what actually the Smart School about. Maybe before this in my school just has the computer laboratory and not in the concept of Smart School. But now I can know much better about it.

     

    Smart School can provide many options to the learning experience. We can now be tutored remotely, by the best sources available adhering to international standards. Lessons can be stored and retrieved in many formats to facilitate student flexibility. Compact Discs with lesson plans can be made available to students not being able to attend real time classes. With a computer we can now be exposed to the knowledge of the world, pursue certification in many fields, and acquire the confidence that education affords us from the privacy of our homes.

     Although some school is classified as the smart school but the real concept of the Smart Board not seen. They are not flexible, with the suitable design and equipment in the computer laboratory. Sometimes many computers also mostly are broken so only certain computer can use in one time. So, it makes the learning process could not progress effectively. Teacher also does not aware with the existence of the smart school especially about the importance of ICT application. They do know the potential of ICT for supporting and enhancing learning in the classroom.

     Some action should be taken in addressing this entire problem. The equipment like computer in computer and science laboratory must in the good condition. It is very importance, to make sure the objectives to prepare students for the information technology era can be achieved. Teacher also must be active and more alert with the new application technology surrounding them to improve teaching-learning process by the new pedagogies and tools.  

     As a conclusion, the Ministry of education also must take more action to settle the entire problem about smart school so that the teaching and learning process can do smartly.
