Digital school
Education of the future is flexible
Thinking digitally about learning teaching
Information for school management, teachers and administration
Digitalization is an important element of a modern school. The tablet therefore plays a central role as a learning tool for pupils. Because it can help us to modernize teaching and learning.
The implementation of concepts such as home schooling or hybrid teaching in particular requires a great deal of flexibility. In day-to-day school practice, our weaknesses in digital learning usually become apparent very quickly: for example, when not all pupils have access to devices and hardware at home. Or when teachers are faced with the challenge of suddenly having to master a wide variety of software products.
Requirements for digital teaching:
- compliance with the GDPR requirements
- uniform equipment of pupils with tablets and WLAN
- the restriction of tablet access to content suitable for young people
- Preventing access to games and social media during lesson time
- the provision of standardized apps and content for all pupils
- Simple content management for teachers
- a full service for the devices in the event of failure or damage, with replacement provided on the next school day
agilimo has many years of experience in providing solutions for flexible workstations in corporate structures with optimum user-friendliness and the highest security standards.
Unser Spezialwissen übersetzen wir in Lösungen für die Digitale Schule.
In einem Pilotprojekt haben wir bereits 2019 eine Schulklasse des Julius-Echter-Gymnasiums mit iPads für den Unterricht ausgestattet und begleiten das Projekt seitdem dauerhaft.
To enable us to offer schools a wide range of optimal solutions, we work closely with well-known providers such as Apple – we are independent and free to choose the appropriate manufacturer.
