AT LEAST, that’s what Singapore is thinking. Then again, the Lion City is one of the world’s most technologically-advanced nations.
Here’s an excerpt from the Agence France-Presse story:
SINGAPORE–Blogs are replacing blackboards as Singapore moves high-technology into its classrooms as teaching tools, newspapers reported Wednesday.
Under the FutureSchools@Singapore program, blogs, video-conferencing, tablet PCs, podcasts, 3-D software and interactive whiteboards will be available for learning, The Straits Times reported.
Five schools in the city state have been selected to pioneer the use of innovative teaching methods that harness info-communication technologies (ICT), the education ministry confirmed in a press release.
Check out the FutureSchools@Singapore site for more details.
