Students in government schools will have a more engaging and entertaining learning experience starting next academic year. In government schools, traditional blackboards are being replaced with interactive flat panels.
The interactive flat panels can be used for online interactive sessions with subject experts in addition to acting as a regular blackboard for teaching and screening audio-video content.
The interactive flat panels are being installed in government and local body schools across the State as part of the ‘Mana Ooru – Mana Badi’ program. There have been 13,983 flat panels procured by the School Education Department.
High schools with the highest enrollments will receive three interactive flat panels and schools with fewer admissions will receive one. In Classes VIII, IX, and X, these devices will be used to teach students. “The interactive flat panels that come with a touch screen option can be used like a computer wherein several tabs can be opened and content can be downloaded from the internet and the same can be screened. There is a provision for a plug-in flash drive to these panels as well,” an official said.

Along with procuring the panels, the School Education Department has focused on creating digital content. As a result, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is developing the content with the assistance of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). Audio-video content from the State syllabus as well as content from the Diksha portal is being prepared for use in the panels.
Aside from interactive flat panels, the State government is establishing Virtual Reality (VR) labs in five government schools in the state on a pilot basis. The labs, which are outfitted with VR headgear, will assist students in learning lessons such as heart functions and cell formation by walking into them in a VR representation using immersive and interactive technologies.
