IDA And Microsoft Add Spark To Education In Singapore Through Innovative IT Adoption In The Classroom

Imagine if a 2 kg tablet PC is all students need for lessons, instead of having to carry heavy textbooks to and from school everyday. The same tablet PC also helps them communicate with their teacher and gives them access to lesson materials and online resources anytime, anywhere within the school grounds. This has become reality for all Secondary One students at Crescent Girls' School which has become one of the first schools in the world where an entire cohort has individual tablet PCs, enabled with wireless connectivity, containing digitized textbooks that 'come alive' for classes.
