The city of Bocholt continues to make progress with the digital equipment of its schools. This year alone, around 200 digital tablets have been installed at 18 school locations, 50 of them during the last autumn holidays.
In addition, the city of Bocholt has now issued almost 3800 tablets to pupils and teachers. 143 of the devices were financed by the REAC funding programme of the European Union.
Also, in cooperation with the Bocholt Energy and Water Supply (BEW), a possibility was created for pupils to use their devices for school purposes while on the move. The devices can be used free of charge and without further registration in the BEW WLAN hotspots.
"For example, anyone who meets with their study group in Bocholt city centre can use the BEW's broadband internet free of charge," says Hany Omar, Head of the Digital and IT Department.
About the digital boards
The digital whiteboards installed at Bocholt's school sites facilitate the use of digital learning content in the classroom. They essentially consist of a Windows PC, a touch display and fold-out whiteboard elements. With the help of the whiteboards, teachers can use digital media to design their lessons.
