Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Government's IT@School Project has tied up with Intel to accelerate the Smart School project, an e-learning programme in five districts across the state. Through its programme it will donate 625 Intel Classmate Laptops to cover six Government High Schools in Thiruvananthapuram, Idukki, Ernakulam, Palakkad and Malappuram districts, IT@School Project Executive Director K Anvar Sadath said today. The programme is expected to boost ICT enabled education in the state, pioneered by IT@School Project. With Broadband access, e-classrooms and digital Malyalam content these schools will be the lighthouse of learning and teaching to the neighbouring schools of the district and thus deliver an enhanced e-learning experience to students, a key objective that government of Kerala plans to accomplish under centrally sponsored Smart School initiative, he said. The launch of the programme would be inaugurated by Chief Minister Oomen Chandy at 1700 hrs on October 4. Kerala is the first State where Classmate laptops are deployed in such a large number to students. The Intel-powered Classmate PC in the form of a Netbook has an Atom N465 processor, 1GB RAM and 160 GB HDD and the equipment is packed in a classy and secure case, making it very handy and easy to operate. Classroom e-Learning under Smart School project provides a more flexible, cost-effective, and educationally powerful option for E-learning compared to setting up shared access PC labs. Accompanied by effective professional development and curriculum resources, classroom e-Learning makes technology a normal part of the educational experience rather than an isolated activity conducted in a separate room. The focus shifts from technology-skills acquisition, to using technology as a tool to transform teaching and learning in the classroom. --UNI
