The President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili,
opened a “Geocell” sponsored classroom in the Kvareli Public School №2. This “Geocell”
classroom is equipped with new, modern technology andfeatures an interactive
smart desk and thirteen monitors. With such
ultra modern technology, teachers will be able to hold integrated
lessons. The President talked with schoolchildren
and personally introduced the class to processes involving modern interactive
techniques. Also, from the new “Geocell” classroom, students of the Kvareli
Public School №2 can connect to the Tbilisi Experimental School №1’s
“Geocell” classroom.
In such multifunctional
classrooms lessons of English, Georgian, Chemistry, Biology, Physics,
Geography, and Geometry can be conducted.
During the lessons
virtual labs and learning tools can also be used. The schoolchildren will be
able to save electronic versions of their lessons. Teachers will have the
opportunity to present new materials effectively by using high quality visual and
audio systems.
The process will
continue and modern multifunctional classrooms will be opened in all schools of
Georgia's larger cities.
486 children study in the Kvareli Public School №2, and according to High
School Exams, Kvareli School is among the top 20 schools in terms of grades. Among
the school’s teachers, 53 have Masters Degrees and one has a Doctorate, 60
teachers have passed Professional Development Training and five are certified
teachers.
The ceremony was held in the Ilia Chavchavadze House-Museum. The President
awarded schoolchildren from four separate regions of Kakheti (Kvareli,
Sighnaghi, Gurjaani and Telavi) with new “Lenovo” computers, which are produced
in Georgia. Also, schoolchildren were awarded for their successful performance
at the basic level of education.
The project is being
implemented as part of the President’s National Program “My First Computer.” The
program is designed to encourage the development of the teaching/learning
methodology based on IT technologies by awarding successful students with
personal computers (notebooks/computers).
