Samsung implements ‘Samsung School' at Modern School, Barakhamba

Samsung Electronics in partnership with Modern School, Barakhamba launched the ‘Samsung School' a joint initiative to improve student learning with easy-to-use immersive technology for the digital classroom. New technology in the classroom, Samsung believes, is set to change dramatically how students learn and teachers pass on information. To lead this education revolution, Samsung has launched the ‘Samsung School' at Modern School in collaboration with the School and Samsung R&D Center in Bengaluru, SRI - Bengaluru that has worked to deliver advanced solutions for the digital classroom.

"Students today are digital natives; as they embark on their learning journey, they expect interactive software and content. This level of interactivity can only be achieved if the education sector focuses not only on devices that motivate students to be active participants in their own education, but solutions and content that increase collaboration and networking in the learning environment. We strongly believe that a collaborative learning environment improves student retention rates," said Hyoil Kim, VP, enterprise business team at Samsung India.

The Samsung School solution, includes a complete digital education package consisting of Samsung devices, software and other complimentary components that enable teachers to make lessons more dynamic by incorporating interactivity and multimedia content. The Samsung School solution being implemented at Modern School, Barakhamba has been deployed in many Korean schools as a pilot, and is currently being implemented in more than 20 schools around the world - from Africa and Asia to Europe and North America.

Samsung has provided Modern School with a Samsung School solution package consisting of 42 GALAXY Note 10.1 units and a 65-inch interactive whiteboard. The solution gives the teacher the ability to lead interactive lessons and real-time group activities through screen and content sharing features. The technical support for the Samsung School solution will be given by SRI-Bangalore while the Course content has been worked on by the School itself.

Stated Lata Vaidyanathan, principal, Modern School, " By collaborating with Samsung for the Samsung School solution , we want our students to experience new, interactive ways of learning; have them engage better with their teachers and enhance their overall learning experience and retention."
