20,500 Windows tablet PCs, maintenance and operation system that brings out the benefits of each environment per person

"I want to be able to use a lot", the children who first got the GIGA school device

Ichihara City, which established a fulfilling ICT environment, published the media on November 18, last year at the GIGA School Research Promotion School in Ichihara City.On this day, I was able to start the GIGA School terminal for the first time in the first and sixth graders, logged in with my username and password, and challenged the electronic drill.

The school has been implementing an environment per person as a model school before the GIGA School concept, but the "new terminal" seems to be different for children.When I heard the sixth grader, he said, "I want to use a lot. I'm looking forward to finding out what I don't understand, using it for studying, and using it as my computer."

On the other hand, first graders are less familiar with the alphabet, and the keyboard operation is difficult.It took a long time to log in to the terminal, but the children entered their username and password hard while looking at the distributed cards.It was impressive that he was working very positively, such as "It's fun to touch," "The password was difficult, but I worked hard," and "I want to be able to use it more."

Currently, GIGA School devices have been distributed at schools nationwide and have begun to use them, but for children to learn that tablet PCs are "fun."The discussion of the GIGA School concept tends to be a story of an adult perspective, such as "how to use teachers" and "how to change classes", but when children first get a tablet PC.The educator has been tested to see if it can respond to the "excitement" that you feel.

For this reason, Ichihara City has a zero stage with no clearing, but "teachers can use freely" before the four stages presented in "ICHIHARA Style" mentioned above.It encourages the challenge.The fact that teachers focus on the importance of nurturing the mind that teachers want to do is a gift of the city that the city has been working on ICT for many years.

Ichihara City is also focusing on disseminating information to parents.Many parents often do not know the GIGA School concept, and many families are worried that each person's environment will suddenly start.Therefore, in the city, how do you learn how to learn when you become an environment in each person, what kind of education do Ichihara City aim for by using ICT through paper distribution, promotion videos, city public relations magazines, etc.Information is transmitting.In order to promote the use of ICT on site, the understanding of parents is indispensable.Other municipalities will be very helpful for how to make contact with parents through information dissemination.
