Saint Paul School “Classroom 2012 Educational Project†has secured the “Merit Award†at the Macau ICT Awards 2014. The innovative and unique “2012 classroom educational project†in Asia was born on the realization that the School’s approach to learning and teaching was not addressing the technological needs of our 21st. century students and ICT was not improving the quality of education of our students. With this in mind Saint Paul School embarked themselves in the “Classroom 2012 Educational Project†with the conviction that the complete introduction of ICT into their educational environment would increase new learning opportunities and improve students’ motivation and achievement.
After 5 years of the implementation of the program and with over 1,500 students and 100 teachers using e.tablets as the main gadget for their learning and teaching process and the encouragement from different sectors of the society and Government Departments, Saint Paul School decided to take part in the Macau ICT Award competition aiming to benchmark opportunities to ICT innovators, academics and entrepreneurs in the region.
The news of the “Classroom 2012 Educational Project†being granted the “Merit Award†was received by the School Community with great joy and enthusiasm, as this award not only represents the sophistication and uniqueness of the project but also the recognition of the tremendous effort and dedication of all of us at Saint Paul School in reviewing our curriculum and pedagogical practices to accommodate new learning and teaching styles aiming to develop systems and structures that excite, engage and motivate our students.
As Saint Paul “Classroom 2012 Educational Project†will be representing Macau in the upcoming Asia Pacific Information and Communication Technology Awards 2014 (APICTA 2014) contest in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 27th. – 20th. November 2014, we congratulate the School and wish the team members all the success in the coming APICTA 2014
