Progress Of Smart School
Smart School Milestone( 4 Wave )
ChallengesLimited ICT tools
Problem to handle ICT
devices
Students are passive
Parent do not concern
Misconceptions
Limited because:
› to the price that so expensive
› easy to damage
Examples:
› Computer labs
› Continuous limitations to access the network
hamper the effectiveness of technology
supported teaching and learning process
› Interactive whiteboard screen.
Limited ICT Tools
Problem handling ICT Tools
Need an intensive training in the use of
technologies and in its integration into classroom
activities in ways to enhance student’s thinking and
creativity
Teachers need improve their skills if they are to stay
the developments in their profession and remain
confident in their application of the technologies.
Teachers need to sacrifice their weekend for
ongoing the training
Students Are Passive
Hope all materials about education
provide by teachers
Students should play an important role
in determine the direction of their
learning by participation and activities
Parent Do Not Concern
Busy with their work.
They think that the Smart School
education project is the responsible of
government and teachers only.
They do not care about it without
thinking for their children sake.
Misconception
People feel that smart school is same with normal school.
They think that smart school is school for smart student
only.
They do not have any proper disclosure of smart school.
Government needs to organize a carnival that promoted
smart school programm to dismiss the misconception s
about smart school.
