Technology in the Classroom
Portable projectors brought in where they help a lesson, a computer laboratory of twenty workstations, and a filtered network across the campus.
At Bhaktivedanta Model School technology is treated as a teaching aid rather than a fixture. What a lesson needs, it gets; what it does not need stays out of the room.
Portable projectors are carried to whichever class is using them, so a teacher can put up a diagram, a map, a short film or a virtual demonstration at the point in the lesson where it actually helps. Animations and simulations make a complex idea visible in a way a description cannot, and because the equipment moves with the lesson it is used for a reason and then put away.
Beyond the classroom, a computer laboratory of twenty workstations carries coding and IT literacy from the primary years upward, and a tinker space gives older children room for design, making and robotics. Campus wi-fi reaches every teaching point, filtered and supervised.
Every teacher takes annual training in digital teaching, so the tools are used confidently and with judgement about when a screen adds something and when it does not.
What we have
- Portable projectors, shared across classes as lessons need them
- Campus-wide wi-fi, filtered and supervised
- Computer laboratory with 20 workstations
- Coding and IT literacy from the primary years
- A tinker space for design, making and robotics
- Annual digital-teaching training for every teacher
How we use it
Devices are used under staff supervision on a filtered network. Attendance, fees, records, report cards and circulars all run through one cloud school-management system, which is what keeps teachers’ evenings free for planning.
